Ah yes, WalletHub. A bastion of economics research. :confused: The University of Chicago be damned.

Amazing fact: President Obama set multi year RECORDS for deportations. Through 2018 the Trump administration hasn’t even come close.

What is bizarre is how popular Trump is with ordinary Mexican citizens (not the politicos or the upper class).

Let me get you caught up. The Mexican President ordered 6,000 National Guard Troops to the Guatemalan Border this morning.

That could be a very workable accommodation for both parties. Mexico is the Country benefitting the most from the US-China trade spat and we really don’t need to encourage turning South American Rain Forest into Soybean fields. The Mexican President has already pledged to send a few thousand...

There have been deceptions, falsehoods, and games being played in depth-of-market order books long before bots came on the scene. Reading some of the CFTC Spoofing Cases - I’m sure that some bots have been programmed for nefarious order book deception; but this didn’t start with bots.

There is so much “spoofing”, flipping, order-crossing and gamesmanship going on with electronic order books that only a fool would try to interpret anything from depth-of-market.

This is reason #563 why you trade futures.

Long Term Capital Management (LTCM). Google it. Great lesson for you. Markets have a way of knocking the hubris out of ANY academic. One of the best bond traders I ever saw didn’t even finish high school. And he stood next to the GS and JPM brokers.

Wow. If only there were an alternative to AMP o_O

It doesn’t have anything to do with what “my” definition of a spread trader is. If you are carrying a SPAN-recognized position then clearing member firms are obligated by exchange bylaws to assign you a margin credit - doesn’t matter if the exchange legged your spread or TT Autospreader...

I advise ALL of my clients to dispense with discount brokers. They’re worst than useless for a spread trader. I do not have any haircut or promotion arrangements with any broker or clearing firm. Execution does NOT matter in terms of overnight margin. Advantage gives my manual spreaders 4 x...

Yes of course. A good portion of their clients are commercial and spec spread traders.

Advantage, Rosenthal Collins, RJO know how to correctly margin spread traders intraday

Somehow I've got to think that with Christopher Steele turning State's evidence for Messieurs Huber, Horowitz, and Durham - that Congress will be rather pressed on other matters in the coming weeks and months. And the Koch's don't have the sway they once did.

WalletHub. Huh. Now there's a bastion of published economic research.

API Inventory Report kept CL from making any serious gains with the strong equity markets move up today. We are awash in Crude Oil. Iran is not a serious consideration. OPEC is essentially neutered...

I commend your willingness to propose a rather serious solution. Well done, sir. :thumbsup: Orange Man Bad is so boring.

Following Trump's tariff threat, Mexico begins immigration talks in Washington https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/following-trump-s-tariff-threat-mexico-begins-immigration-talks-washington-n1013146 With just a week until the first tariffs bite, the Mexican delegation may have a hard time...

Since you are developing your own trading system it's probably a point of emphasis for you to manage your expectations. And the expectations you laid out in your OP are not realistic - unless you are 1 in 10,000. When I started trading futures on the floor of the CBoT, I had a trading system...
