The United States of America elected a person of color to it's highest office in the land - President. And it took a significant white vote to do it. When will Canada or a major European country elect a person of color to it's highest office - especially when the voting majority is white ...

I would never begrudge any methodology that can consistently yield profits over the long haul. If there are 1K profitable independent and self-made traders, you can rest assured that there are 1K different strategies being deployed with a wide degree of variation in terms of style and risk...

I've had many clients taking positions in the Euribor spreads as of late - some good set-ups to be found there.

Great trade, and you had energy vis-a-vis ethanol correlated feed stocks ( corn ) giving you mucho juice. Very well done.

From No Bias, most excellent advice: 1, Swing trading before attempting Day Trading. (if Day trading at all), much easier for most to make money trading longer time frames. - But that is for you to decide for yourself 2, Sim > small size > increase size SLOWLY

And I have the 1099 from one equity firm for the consulting fee and the profit-sharing agreement from another equity firm to prove it. A standing NDA prevents me from naming names. If a regulator contacts me about this I would be happy to share it. And both firms, for the record, were...

Well, if you are swing trading spreads as I teach my clients, it appears easier for us to find trending and more obvious trade set-ups with the futures spreads than many equity spread combinations. Having said that, I set up the IB account in order to swing trade some equity spread combinations...

Very, very smart. That's the best way I've found over the years to manually leg a futures pair. It's almost always a huge mistake to attempt to buy the bid on one leg and sell the offer on the other leg. Rarely happens and the downside risk is much greater than the gain. If you can split...

I have gotten "hung" on everybody's "AutoSpreader" - including TT, PatSystems, and the IB TWS combo trader. So... Your caution is well founded. The only "sure" thing that I've found are the exchange supported futures spreads in terms of mitigating legging risk. I would never leave a...

Well, the real question is what are you using it for quite frankly. In terms of spread trading, it is not necessarily more profitable to trade 100 round turns per day versus holding a position for X number of days or weeks. You can make $50K in a month intraday trading Bobl/Bund 100 lot...

I was referring to the fact that CQG IC is the best integrated charting / execution platform that I am aware of for spreads. It's strength in my opinion is the ease of using custom technical indicators ( which I have developed for Spread Trading ), the breadth of the products supported, and the...

We use a special technical study designed expressly for futures spreads, and therein lies the rub for the "basic" Charting indicator packages these execution platform providers typically have that won't allow considerable customization. CQG Integrated Client a notable exception.

I don't chart on my execution platforms - IB TWS or TT XStudy. Never had. I have some clients who charts on CTS, however. We chart typically on eSignal - sometimes CQG.

Lots of basket combinations, ETF vs component combos and sector vs SPY plays but no Iron Condors as of yet.

The final client group webinar of the year was held last night. There were some very promising Sugar and Euribor butterfly positions taken by clients which we collectively reviewed. I also introduced some new equity (derivative) spread strategies that I have been developing as of late and will...

My client base can be diverse - scalpers, options spreaders, prop interest rate traders, etc. I have an obligation to NOT take clients down a path that gets them blown up - it's bad for business and future referrals. Now, every person is different in terms of their existing skill sets and...

Clients, my apologies for not getting the December 11 Webinar recording out sooner than today. I have spent four days in Doctor's offices with my Father and unfortunately I've had to let some stuff slide.

With all due respect, spewing pure unsubstantiated stupidity like this is not "letting anything go".

When exactly have I posted redundant ads for another sponsor, or posted under any other name ? Please ask Baron if there are any other member names or posts besides "Bone" associated with my IP address since 2002. Ever. Pat, keep "LOL" - Jimmy Ray loves it. And take your Lithium, please. In...

The Thesis promoted by the OP and supposedly illustrated by the LA times article regarding the Kansas fiscal situation is a non-sensical arguement based upon the Illinois experience. Property and income taxes have been increasing - not decreasing; and Illinois' financial reality, bond rating...
