    CME to Put 300mil with MF-G Trustee.

    I wonder if Corzine will like jail as much as Madoff seems to. Pucker up, buttercup.

    Why even attempt to compete with the bots and the automation ? Play to a strength.

    Intraday Pair Trading/Stat Arb

    IMO, you'll make more money and be more consistent modeling for divergence. And yes, this is an excellent strategy but for higher frequency timeframes the slippage and ECN performance is everything. The really successful groups doing this tend to invest heavily in the infrastructure. Like...

    The curse of systems trading/Why does this happen

    The last four or five posts were actually pretty much spot on. IMO, you are actually much less of a legit "systems" trader than you give yourself credit for being.

    Trading like a Local

    Well, the simple fact of the matter is that there are precious few "locals" who make money these days. The markets are too fast and too efficient to effectively buy bids and sell offers as a core strategy.

    Conquering trading anxiety

    Not when you think that you can make 4% per day scalping. Why do you start these threads, and then completely ignore or discount the advice proferred ?

    Question about commodity spreads

    Homes, this is actually a very very positive development for guys like us. It has revolutionized my own personal trading, and has certainly enriched my clients. Exchange supported implied spreads are, at least in my limited universe, a huge paradigm shift. We do all manner of calendars...

    Proof That Being Gay Is A Disorder Of The Brain

    Oh, my guess is that the exact opposite might be true - it seems to me that there isn't much societal or peer pressure for fidelity or monogamy in the gay community per se. My guess is that all things considered, it is much easier for an 'unattached' gay male living in a gay community to get...

    FX futures against the cash

    Every big firm that I know of is doing some sort of arbitrage or spread or hybrid variation on the theme. No desk that I am aware of wants to take flat price directional risk these days. If there is a pip in a cash vs. futures basis trade, then it gets done until it is simply not there anymore.

    Question about commodity spreads

    I haven't used a spread broker since the late 90's, and none of my 70 clients use a spread broker. It is an electronic age, with very good electronic execution platforms, and that is a fantastic development. Please refer to the exchange-supported implied spread. Welcome to the 21st century !

    Why Capitalism Is Failing

    Because outside of the military or a union trades hall it does not in fact work. Private enterprise corporations cannot legally structure an employment contract with a non-compete binding enough to recoup their considerable investment in such a concept. The other point is that skillset...

    Why Capitalism Is Failing

    Please observe that all of the hardcore socialists and wealth re-distribution types make all kinds of money espousing their beliefs. Chomsky has copyrights on everything, is said to be very aggressive in terms of pursuing royalty payments, and is a multi-millionaire. Michael Moore has and...
