The majority of the LGBT community will vote for Trump and in return the entire border wall will be painted with a gay pride rainbow flag pattern.

Why don't you use delayed data ? That will save you some serious money. Just a thought.

The guy who owns TT was one hell of a good trader.

I talked to a client today about using a simple calendar spread to roll the front wing of a butterfly futures spread trade that is performing quite nicely for him.

My experience testing out PATS was a disaster in terms of spread trading... TT and CTS both are good platforms depending upon exactly what capabilities you are wanting and willing to pay for. Alot of prop trading groups that are doing complex spread strategies use Orc. Big $$$ for Orc.

I know it sounds Hokie and cliche, but keep a personal daily trading journal. If you can minimize repeating mistakes - that's the same as positive equity gains in your account. It will also tighten up your trading system in terms of entry, exit, and position management. The effectiveness of...

One of the great things about electronic trading is that geographical location makes less of a difference than the time zone and the ECN. And if you can dramatically alter your cost of living while enjoying a lifestyle and climate that pleases you - that is tangible goodness.

I had a great discussion with a client today about entering continuation trades and probabilities. I'll distribute the discussion in the form of a webinar in the next few days or so.

So new clients have by the latest tally 111 webinar videos to slog through. Covers all topics associated with modeling, constructing, and trading spreads - along with extensive trade set-up review. The videos do not include 80 files sent separately that include proprietary study files, etc.

SuperMensch, I have not traded in the pits since the later 1990's. Pits dead. Electronic is where it is at - especially for spread trading.

Having been a pit trader at the CBoT, the job duties of being a "runner" is of very limited value in terms of acquiring trading skills. If you are "clerking" for an experienced floor trader, there might be some to a lot of value in that ( depends on who you are clerking for) especially if the...

Not too many ET members can trade PJM-W or Ercot swaps or the Inc-Dec market, but your point about Power is valid. Having said that, plenty of commercials are active in exchange traded futures, and if they are accumulating positions those activities are definitely reflected in price action...

One of the most challenging aspects for new clients is getting used to sitting with a trade for an extended period of time. Spreads are relatively speaking very cheap to margin, and since we are targeting large chunks of market range it makes the most sense for us to be position trading them...

In liquid, exchange-traded futures I seriously doubt there exists a true legitimate population of "market makers" to be of any statistical consequence. Having been a designated market maker myself in the past, I also would question the notion that their trades are "profitable" in a...

I would like to welcome a new client from the Middle East.

Well, having been a commercial electricity / energy trader myself in the past, then yeah I would admit that generating producer might have an advantage in, let's say, the hourly and the very short term electricity markets. But a "big trading house" ? Not necessarily. In fact, I saw a large...

Yep. The website owner of futures.io moved offshore and registered his business and website in Panama. Saw a screenshot of that on tradingloonies website. Seriously.

The "habit" is that big commercials and large specs have for decades traded large size during NYC prime time trading hours, and you are seeing a continuation of that routine on the screen. Exact same can be said for interest rate futures.

I am so glad that I have no idea who's taking the other side of my trades in terms of exchange futures. It's a positive that all I see is an order book.

If you require absolutes trading is not the place to be.
