    Spread Trade Training

    Well yeah, verbiage changed because I have to make an attempt to explain how a proprietary trading account gets zeroed out at the end of the year, even if there is an open position carried over. RR, Peternam, Convexx alias Drownpruf, and all the other alias or plain vanilla trollers have been...

    RM, whoever you are, you are correct. The website is ugly. I make no apologies or excuses for it.

    Spread Trade Training

    Describe the scam. The Advantage Statement is 100 % factual and so is the website verbage describing it. And you, convexx, are awfully brave with a keyboard. Have anything better to do with your time ?

    You don't follow your own advice, and you don't honor your personal agreement with Baron to not be such a flaming dick.

    Spread Trade Training

    The firm I traded Power and Nat Gas Swaps for was an ECP. And I was personally registered with both ICE and Clearport. I never claimed once that I traded OTC Energy Swaps for my own account. BOG had nothing to do with the website. Wild Apricot is not a free website. And I own the domain...

    How many losses in a row?

    Personally - if I suffer two losses in a row, I cut my size back. When I get back to two winners in a row, I restore my size. If I have three winners in a row, I will typically very modestly increase my sizing. That's what I recommend to my clients. I'll beat this drum again: a daily...

    good security for public WiFi trading

    Might I suggest that you look at execution platforms first and work backwards towards wi-fi security. I realize that might entail changing brokers, IMHO that's the smartest way to approach the issue. I personally am very wary of what I do with Wi-Fi, even in my own home. For example, I won't...

    Can anyone recommend one or two FCMs for a new CTA?

    Advantage or Rosenthal-Collins Group come to mind. If you want access to some OTC products and LME without a give-up agreement, then New Edge comes to mind - but they have a considerable account minimum.

    Seasonals and Spread Trading

    A good price action-based model will indeed pick up on seasonal tendencies and changes in fundamental drivers. You will be later to the party than the Commercials - but that's OK, because the object is to make money and not get your ass run over. The Commercials will do the heavy lifting in...

    Spread Trade Training

    I'm not going to deconstruct my personal trading or the methodologies and strategies which I provide to clients for any person who is not a client. It is not fair to over 100 clients who have paid for intellectual property to find their investment diluted in a public forum. If that's not...

    Spread Trade Training

    My latest client is a full time scientific community professional who is also an experienced options trader. Like many options traders on ET, he swing trades options and is also a full time professional. He wanted to add futures spreads to his portfolio in a measured, systematic approach.

    Spread Trade Training

    Troll YOR, I don't take on newbies as clients. I require clients with a trading background. I refuse newbies. I've always made that clear in my posts. Hell, even my signature says that I take on experienced traders as clients. Find something constructive to do with your time, and if you're...

    YOR, 1. My sincere apologies to Mr. Choi if I have ever offended him. I beg of him forgiveness. 2. Since you know my name and clearing firm, feel free to contact Advantage Futures and ask if that's a "fake" statement as you claim. Make sure that you publicly apologize for your slander here...

    I have been getting more new clients who come to me as very experienced options spread traders. Looking for an additional revenue stream by incorporating futures spread trading into their portfolio. These are typically very risk averse personalities looking for a moderately elevated risk...

    Too Many Indicators?

    There are hundreds of indicators, which are all subtle variations on about three common themes: MA, oscillators, and volatility parameters. Wave counts are just wacky and in real time are not reliable. But they make sexy charts after the fact. Never confirm one type of study with another...

    Trend Following Declared Dead By Financial Times

    Well, FADING the equity market the past 5 years certainly would have yielded much worse performance than trend following the equity markets. Trend Following discussions are always non-sensical without discussing modeling and position holding time frames. A trader using 5 minute bars and a...

    should I incorporate my trading activities

    Set up a Sole Member LLC, and keep a separate business banking account in the name of your LLC for all of your trading-related income and expenses. That action says that your trading is not a hobby - but a serious endeavor to make more money. It's much easier if you are trading futures to...
