    The holy grail has been found

    Daniel Nadler looks like Seth Rogen before he discovered weed and carbohydrates. Striking. Having said that, I'm all for " democratizing quantitative analysis". But how is selling his product for very expensive subscription rates ( including an exclusive one year license to a bank ) "...

    A path towards profitability

    Trading is unique in that there is no one set way to consistently make money trading markets in terms of style and technique. I know a PhD who kills it and I know a guy who dropped out of high school who kills it. I agree 150% with your sizing and risk approach. Personally, I keep a trading...

    West-East Fuel Oil Arb Continues

    I enjoy your graphs as well. Do you have access to Platt's or Bloomberg tanker or barge rates ? Another good variable to track would be storage or rack rates. Those would be a great inclusion.

    Successful traders: why don't you move to a 0% capital gains tax country?

    And where security and freedom to enjoy your life outside the confines of a security compound doesn't come at a steep price. Look at the steep escalation in crime rates in recent years for Puerto Rico for example. The cost to live either in the financial district of Puerto Rico or in a...

    CME FX products

    IMHO, the advantage that the cash market has over the CME FX product suite is that the futures contracts have a fixed notional value and hedging can occasionally be tough for spread traders with modest accounts and who desire small positions. But the CME FX market is excellent and honest in...

    eurodollar and TED

    Yes, there are plenty of basis spread traders and inter market spreaders in the TED complex. Sure, it might not be the sexiest girl in the room - but in the trading world, slow and steady and consistent wins the race. ( It's more like a marathon quite frankly ) Another positive to the TED...

    Charting software that plots spreads

    I would recommend: Budget no problem: CQG Budget a problem: eSignal Someone else is paying for it: Bloomberg Bloomberg's charting is not nearly as good as CQG or eSignal, but the time & sales data quality for a massive number of products and other studies and tools like the Beta scatter...

    Why did ZB move while ZN did not?

    This type of thing happens quite frequently in the rates; from STIRs to the long duration stuff - especially around any sort of Fed commentary or Auction. Lots of shifting in curve exposure amongst fixed income portfolio managers. There are many good white papers on the topic in the...

    Even the spread markets are sluggish - we are getting fewer signals but they are quality set-ups, especially in grains and Nat Gas.

    Wall Street Traders Are About To Be In A World Of Pain Read more: http://www.busines

    I read the article, and your commentary about machines replacing discretion ( while certainly true on a micro market structure level) is not what I read in that article. My take was that there is a real aversion to risk.

    Spread Trade Training

    It seems like the grains, Nat Gas, and a few Euribor setups are all we are looking at this week. The grains and Nat Gas are intramarket ( same product different month/ year) butterfly combinations. The softs ( especially Sugar ) have been very good for us. Interest Rates and Stock Indices...

    Soy Crush 10-9-11 vs. 1-1-1

    Thanks, I'll put the exchange spread order book up on my trading screen and watch it. Gotta find some room.... We've been doing primarily intramarket butterflies in the grains, and quite honestly I haven't been watching the crush in the ags but I will start.
