I just stopped paying for live data based on input from clients and their experience trading my system. During webinars, they were all asking me why I bothered paying for live data. So, I wanted to see if what they claimed worked. And it does. Since we are swing trading, the delayed data is...

I have never held myself out as any sort of learned person when it comes to equity pairs and spread combinations. I have and continue to hold myself out as being a good futures spread trader with a long resume of credentials in that field and a consultant to qualified professionals...

I have had clients have problems in the past with the charting features on both CTS-4 and X-Study. It turned out that the price servers re-set themselves daily in concert with the exchanges, and that historical information ( which is quite helpful for charting ) was not all that helpful at...

Let the client who was defrauded come forth and file a formal complaint. All others pack sand.

From the NFA website: A CTA is an individual or organization which, for compensation or profit, advises others as to the value of or the advisability of buying or selling futures contracts, options on futures, retail off-exchange forex contracts or swaps. Providing advice includes...

Cite the NFA or CFTC or SEC rules that I am violating. I have never handled consulting client funds as trading or risk funds. I do not publish or distribute trading signals or trade recommendations to my clients. I do not tell my clients what to buy or sell. I have no give-up agreements or...

Who's being defrauded by me, exactly ? Have some proof. I have had over 100 ET Members who have been clients. Where are they posting that I have ripped them off and defrauded them somehow ? Have any of them contacted Baron and complained about getting somehow defrauded ?

My CV, my professional references, and my client references explain my background in great detail. I have experience trading pit, electronic prop and HF and commercial energy since 1992. I've had over 100 client the past several years who are also ET members - they each perform due diligence...

Mrbrettonwoods and the Trading Technologies website provide adequate response to BoG. And at least BoG has been mature and civil in his discourse. I doubt that BoG is implying that I somehow fabricated that TT screenshot.

Drownpruf, you certainly have no problems trolling and hating about something for which you do not trade and have no earthly idea WTF you're talking about. As mrbrettonwoods was trying to explain, TT has supported ICE and Nymex Swaps and financially cleared OTC products for several years...

I wanted to share some thoughts about an "old timers" tip to maintaining consistency, minimizing losing streaks, tracking your position sizing, reinforcing the keys to your trading system, to keep track of your emotional state, to acknowledge both your good and your bad habits, and above all -...

There's a swaps tab in TT market explorer if you're enabled and set up by your clearing firm to trade Clearport and ICE-LCH. The market is more liquid and more products are available via OTC broker. It requires really big $$$ either way.

Arbitrage is great - I'm all for it. Two problems: 1. The obvious ones that you are likely to have access to are way crowded and too automated. You will frequently get hung and flipped. Ex: Brokertec or Cantor vs CBOT basis; Comex Gold vs LME Gold 2. True arbs that are still profitable...

I use TT and have the Pro License by virtue of having license keys to several exchanges. Having said that, I rarely use the Auto Spreader and I do not day trade. We use the exchange spreads whenever and wherever possible. But of course, if I'm trading a synthetic inter market spread like...

I don't teach newbies how to trade. Don't have the time and don't need the hassle. I take on experienced traders for clients who want to learn how to spread trade a wide portfolio of products. I was a commercial energy trader, and I traded interest rates and a variety of commodities at a prop...

Yes, there is a four page consulting contract that deals primarily with IP. Essentially, the client is paying a one-time fee for access to my strategies, and in turn the client agrees that he keeps the models and indicators to himself. For example, he can prop trade or bank trade provided he...

Yes, and they can be independently contacted. Emails are exchanged and sometimes phone calls. The big "if" being that I deem an interested person as being a serious prospect that has the potential to succeed. Only then will I refer them on to clients for further due diligence. On several...

Those spread combination listed in the original posts were pure random examples of SPAN initial margin rates - nothing more implied or intended. Just illustrating some capitalization costs. My clients would draw and quarter me for sharing IP that they've contracted rights to and paid for...

Quite frankly my more experienced clients think I should charge a lot more - especially since I have a habit of being fairly selective about who I take on as a client. I have not in the past and do not intend to have any sort of "trading academy". I work with just a handful of clients at a...

I was afraid of that... I've had plenty of clients who come to me clearing IB, and they end up using a larger Chicago FCM because of margining issues - intraday credits especially. That's too bad, because IB should be a great spread clearing alternative. I wonder if their risk system is...
