Typically you have to anticipate it (like an economic release) and have a resting order well away from the market. And a pair of stones.

Ummmm... No, it has ZERO probability to go “uncorrelated” in any meaningful way for any meaningful period of time. If it did - the known WORLD would be spreading 10 lot MES versus 1 lot ES because that’s free money. Any dislocations would be for fractions of a second or would be due to...

I think you are most wise in that you honor and respect your trading “comfort” zone. That is very mature insight that will serve you well.

I’m really confused, because in another post you confessed to using a different (and new for you) strategy: But in any event I think it wise to stay with a comfortable trade if it’s profitable. I wish you good fortune! Postscript: I’ve met many traders who traded futures intraday using...

China’s Ministry of Science & Technology controls the Company anyway. It’s fascinating to me that the Chinese Communist Party will fund and control a Company - steal IP to grow the Company, but use the US Court System to sue its competitors (in lieu of using the WTO).

Good trade position management rules are what usually makes or breaks a trader. The irony is that a trader spends 95 percent of his energy and effort on trade entry and typically approaches trade management as an afterthought. And it typically is the “afterthought” which sinks his trading...

Quite unexpected, second straight crude supply stockpile build in today's EIA report - WTI taking it on the chin throughout the curve. Nice rally in the Gasoline Crack as distillates not hit as hard as CL and I would expect the Gasoline Crack to get a bit stronger short term.

And that is just fine. I kept my full time day job as a Nuclear Engineer and traded the evening CBoT Pit session and night Project A and Globex electronic sessions. And I carried futures spread positions for days and sometimes weeks. This is just my own opinion, enforced by working with over...

Are you a full time, dedicated professional trader ? I ask for a constructive reason.

Either way you are going to require a trading system with a durable edge and exceptional position management. Personally I think you’re asking the wrong question - which instrument provides the best returns over a protracted period of time? Which instrument makes you more comfortable holding...

Every serious Crude Trader I know in Houston uses Platt’s. You pay $1800 per month for a Bloomberg terminal?

Neither would the US Congress. Trudeau has plenty of problems himself. S.C. Lavalin. Shitting on Female cabinet members.

Where do you get your news ?

To an experienced professional trader with a quantitative trading acumen that is enormously useful. It's what we look for. Live for it. A couple hundred traders have hired me to teach them this stuff, in fact. Instead of blindly criticizing me - maybe try to understand the gifts I have just...

And if you are very adept at inter market correlations and cointegration - you trade off of that knowledge. For example, there was a space of about 24 months where the CL futures contract and 6E futures contract moved, quite literally, tic for tic. I remember a space of about five years where...

Everybody knows that, and it's not terribly useful in terms of making money trading. But if you have a WebICE feed and can see the Crude Block Trades and the cleared Swaps trade ahead of the CME Nymex futures - that's useful.

Yep. Glad to see that someone gets the concept. There is hope.

That chart I posted above makes my post look great. Truly, you don't know what I am talking about when it comes to inter market lead-lag correlation relationships. I wish you the very best.

Yes, and throughout this entire thread I have clearly been referring to the broad market equity index in my own posts. It was RedSun who made the inane observation that an energy index will lead the Crude Oil future. ANYBODY who trades knows that the Crude Oil future will lead an energy index...

LOL. :D May 13, 2019:
