Most of the posts here on ET and discussion centers around getting into a trade. My personal WAG is that 90% of the posters here on ET devote 90% of their time and energy and research to getting into a trade - and that IMHO is pure misguided naivety and a tragic misunderstanding that keeps most...

You could hire a mentor touting a fantastic percentage return, but if his methology doesn't transfer well to a broad range of clients the point is moot and that is a fact. Likewise, it is naive and foolish to have the hubris to think that a percentage return can be duplicated by a client from...

There are no accounting irregularities, and the detractors could not and did not reply to Baron's simple request to make arrangements to have a third party knowledgeable about US registered US futures prop firm FCM statements offer to Baron an opinion otherwise. And that has not happened...

You can trade the ICE OTC financially cleared US power products using TT. Been that way for quite a while now with TT and financial power, but you have to be specially configured for the ICE gateway and it takes some serious margin allowance (capital) for the ICE exchange and your clearing...

Bobby, these are physically delivered products - in other words, the exchange itself has a mechanism for participants to make or take delivery of the underlying upon expiry of the futures contract. If you chart a continuous contract for the CBOT interest rate products, every once in a while you...

You are really stretching your assumptions in some areas, selectively ignoring what I have posted in the past in terms of the position management rules my clients use and establish at the time of trade entry ( all energy intermarket spreads and the crack spreads are exchange supported and have...

Quite frankly, you are grinding an axe without knowing the proper cutting angle. I can think of many spreads outside the energy space that have wicked vol. Take a look at Cotton intermarkets and some precious metals intramarket spreads to name a few. Energy intermarkets, especially constructs...

Listen, I am trying to be very conservative in terms of what I publish as it relates to new client expectations. Could a client find far more trades or zero trades per week ? Of course. There is no holy grail and hopefully I'm not pushing that expectation. I am also not going to get into a...

1. I've always made it abundantly clear that I do not take on "noobs" as clients, so your insinuation in my case at least is misleading. I don't prey on rookies and newbies - in fact, I turn them down all the time. I want my clients to have some trading background. 2. Fortunately, there's a...

I agree with this essentially. One important caveat: a client tends to get out of it what he puts into it. There is a direct correlation between the effort the client invests and his future success with it. No such thing as the holy grail. The real secret us that there is no secret. I take a...

Newer clients know this, but for older clients I will be moving this month and scheduling a meeting with me might be sketchy next few weeks.

Great question, I'll ask my clients at an upcoming Group Webinar and report back here. I can say that some of my clients come to me as options traders and they continue to trade options spreads. I'm assuming that you are especially interested in this functionality ( options on futures ) on IB ?

RockMachine: At the risk of voiding my contract with Bone, I wanted to give an unbiased opinion of Spreadprofessor's service. 1. The price is high = yes. However, as stated Bone ONLY wants experienced traders. Well, experienced traders are MUCH harder to train because you have to un-train them...

Let me state for the record that I myself also had a situation very similar with respect to some very personal private stalking and threatening PM's accompanied by public posting of personal information with respect to both myself and my ex-wife from Drownpruf / Convexx here on ET. Fortunately...

The question was answered and you and your troll spawn didn't like the answer - and after several weeks not one of you has been able to get one of your buddies at your own FCM who is familiar with US Member Proprietrary Futures Trading Firm Statements to forward to Baron proof othwise as was...

Baron, if any poster's IP address or footprint of any kind has ever in the history of ET has matched my user name of " Bone " please feel free to disclose publicly. And make sure to check all of the clients who are ET members that have posted positive experiences. Clearly this is a huge...

I'm finding that new clients are typically taking three or four weeks just to digest the original distribution of materials - which includes all sorts of reference materials, a custom indicator packages and rules for trade entry, profit/loss targeting at time of trade entry and position...

I've enjoyed Ernie's posts in the past; I cannot comment on his success as a definitive book author but his blog commentary with respect to relative value trading is usually a worthwhile read. Having said that, it is indeed extremely relevant to separate the academic exercise from the practical...
