I get many questions and some recent PM's about how to go about finding and then trading synthetic intermarket ( and inter-exchange ) spread combinations. I cover this topic extensively with my clients, and have several recorded webinars just on this particular topic. Personally, I start out...

Well done and congratulations to you ! Take satisfaction in your accomplishments, which are truly exceptional.;)

Well, I overstated my point in order to discourage the unrealistic. I'm sure they do exist - I would personally doubt in great numbers and I think the odds of doing it by yourself from scratch are very long indeed. Personally, I would give better odds to starting out swing trading very small...

When I started trading in the bond pit on the CBOT floor I was told by my mentor that if in one year I had half of my original capital stake remaining that I was lucky and should consider it a success. As I recall, I limped along for awhile until I learned to just survive. Once I learned how...

I've gotten some correspondence about OTC financially cleared energy products supported by TT and a request for some pointers. Actually, the first thing you need to do is to find out what OTC financially-cleared contracts your particular FCM supports with ICE and Nymex, and of course there is...

And a damned good opinion it is - with the exception of waiting for the market reversal thing. What I have personally found over the years is that it's better in terms of anxiety, quality of sleep, and drawdowns to sacrifice some trading range in terms of profit target in exchange for a...

Amen, Brother. Absofuckinglutely 100 percent dead nuts on.

I agree completely with you about an extortion attempt - but the posts you made here on ET and the way in which you underhandedly used complicit third party ET Members in my opinion would make you the extortionist. Make sure you show to the attorney all of your posts related to me here on Elite...

Actually, CL/HO and CL/RB are particularly poor subjects to analyze from a realistic trade-ability perspective unless you had access to a liquid ( no pun intended ) OTC product. You would never be able to get filled execution-wise, even with an automated lead-lag strategy that only executes the...

Clients, the new office has been set up and I will be scheduling a Group Webinar for Thursday evening December 11.

Of course there is - that's the entire premise behind a prominent sector of algo programs. Nobody's going to do the work for you, so get to work solo.

And if I have had a just two or three less-than-satisfied clients out of 125 plus - myself and ANY OTHER business would GLADLY take that ratio. Funny how the haters and trolls concentrate on the negative and choose to ignore the positive. Search my user member name and you will find the...

putladder and all the other haters, if you want to PUT your faith in Stereo70 as a disgruntled client, I'll give you that. But consider the source: An email from Patrick, aka "Stereo 70" dated 09/12/12: ( And I quote with absolutely no editing or redaction ) Pete, I'm beyond embarrassed to...

Feel free to get your brother or buddy working at an FCM who clears US registered prop futures trading firms to offer another opinion - it's been an unfulfilled offer from Baron for about ten weeks now. Baron has made it clear that as long as the viewpoint is proffered by a qualified person...

I've had over 100 clients who are also ET members, and if any of your BS accusations were true there would be more substance to your points posted by actual clients - not some anonymous troll with 14 posts total on this website. After 5 years as a Sponsor here on ET where are all the client...

Maverick is 100% dead nuts on. 1. Prop firms are typically all about turnover and the collection of fees/haircuts. Profit splits are always welcome but are not required for a prop firm to derive income from a trader who is at least "covering costs". If a firm is collecting a healthy monthly...

It's Bush's fault. And racially-motivated obstructionism. The purpose of the Presidency is to lower your golf handcap, take plenty of vacations, dictate to your secretary prose for your autobiography, and start lining up that incredibly self-enriching speaking tour and of course the monster...

Personally, I start out looking at 2 years in terms of correlation timeframes and mining possible pairs. And I use common sense to further pare down the non-sensical stuff ( like rubber vs gold ). If you do not have access to a Bloomberg terminal, I would highly recommend CSI over MRCI...

I haven't seen a client do anything in the longer term rates in quite some time. No real interest or appeal in the Eurex or CBOT spread plays in terms of what strikes our fancy. Virtually everything I've done or seen a client do for probably the past 24 months rate-wise has been in the STIRS...

1. I doubt that you are a prospective client. And the vetting process runs both ways. 2. The question regarding the account statement were answered and published by Baron - you just refuse to accept the answer so you keep asking the same question and trolling the thread. There are no...
