Duplicative technical indicators of the same species are no good. In other words, as one example IMHO you do not want multiple oscillators. If you can design a system that provides trade entry confirmation using T/A's that sample differently and apply a genuinely different kind of study (...

Aluminum is a great spread against other industrial metals. Access to the LME is required.

It is about time and time frames.

It is about time and time frames.

The markets are constantly changing... that is the only certainty. Did you ever notice how the "good old days" never last for anyone exclaiming their virtues ? At every moment in human history, you always have these bums lamenting about 'the good old days'.

I have about 50 overseas clients - and they all set up US futures accounts; even post PFG and MF. And it is entirely their own decision, as it makes no difference to me where they clear provided that they have access to the correct products and that their execution platform supports exchange...

Use the ET search function for the Eurex forum. Very well documented over the years.

In terms of this thread and the title - if you knew the gruesome details about the history of Eurex busting trades, allowing Banks to game the platform and delivery process, and as a result destroying a multitude of independent traders along the way; you would not make such a statement.

The bal day is traded on the screen, the swap financial forwards are traded on both the screen and through voice brokers, and the options are exclusively voice.

You're not going to be able to see "true" and "relevant" historical bid / asks for a very simple reason: what is shown on WebICE is not the complete market by any stretch of the imagination . Big time US OTC swaps electricity brokerage firms like ICAP, Prebon Yamane, Tradition, Amerex, etc...

There are some very sophisticated HF's and private equity firms with very elaborate bidding algorithms for bal day inc/dec regimes like PJM-W. It gets gamed quite a bit, and there is great pain in the Summer. One thousand percent vol intraday I have seen. Not something I would recommend to my...

Depends upon if you want to believe a registered Democrat or an automotive electrical engineer. It is my understanding that the batteries last from four to seven years depending upon the user's charging habits and the number of discharges ( uses ). I am told the cost to replace the battery...

OTC financial clearing makes the ICE exchange, and ClearPort is just about the only growing profit center for CME. CME does it all, but ICE relies upon the LCH. The exchanges can make several dollars in profit for each OTC swap contract they clear. And just a few cents for a futures...

Not that I am aware of at this time. Any ET'ers out there who do please by all means chime in. At least not one singular book written at such a thoroughly comprehensive level to the point that the reader could actually do something with it.

I provide to my clients an Excel-based futures spread combinations generator. It builds all possible combinations for futures contracts that expire monthly - pairs, butterflies, and condors ( like a GE Z2-Z3-Z4 butterfly, for example ). Most of the synthetic intermarket combinations are...

I think your underlying premise about the prominence of East Coast Refinery capacity, and the use of Brent Crude as a meaningful feedstock impacting the US crack spread margin, is not really an accurate picture these days. The US is more domestically sourced than it has been in many decades...

My guess is that the CME will offer some cross-margining advantages as well as some exchange supported intermarket spread product offerings since there is so much overlap between international product users ( Eurex rates and CBOT; Euribor and Eurodollars ). Their costs are already largely...

Your charting services provider is different than your clearing firm which is ( typically ) different than your execution platform in the world of futures. In other words, it might be possible to clear Advantage Futures, chart your spreads with eSignal, and execute them using CTS T4.

I have to admit that this is a unique and interesting concept...

Speaks volumes. Well said.
