I would like to welcome another new client to the program.

Yes, we model and take entries for both spread convergence and divergence. Makes absolutely no difference to us. None. One incredibly underrated and misunderstood component of proper spread trading is combination construction. Very, very important.

I've had no such bugs to date running Windows 10 64-bit which I purchased. Xeon processor, 24 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quad Card. 4 TB internal HDD and 4 TB external backup drive. I've disabled tracking and use the Kaspersky private browsing extension loaded into all my browsers. Boots and runs...

You understand correctly to a point - notable exception being that mean reversion is a trend reversal and we also trade those just as fluidly using our indicator package and rules set. Legitimate mean reversion needs to be verified through price action analysis, which our indicator package and...

Or, if you run Kaspersky or Norton Anti-Virus, go ahead and load the private browsing extension into your browser. They track you just as well in Windows 7 btw - just not as obvious.

I might be configured differently than you - Workstation Xeon Processor, quad monitors. I simply re-loaded the NVidia video driver and my setup has been running great with W-10. I had to replace my internal HDD recently and Windows 7 Pro 64-X had been factory installed. If it weren't for...

Well, I have a great deal of respect for Pete Steidelmayer, and I absolutely do agree with him that the more TIME that a product spends in a new price range - the more that valuation is accepted by the collective market. IMHO, you have three dynamics at play: 1. Spec Longs puking their guts...

Greg, I used to use it all the time and for the past several years I do not. YMMV. For the past several years I have also not been trading at high intraday frequencies like I used to. Now I swing trade spreads. My advice would be first things first: check the exchange messaging restrictions...

Yes, global warming is a fact and not a hoax. There has been global warming and global cooling since the beginning of planet Earth.

I have two clients who are going live this month, and have room in my training rotation for two new clients.

cd, Just MHO - if a trade setup frustrates you, don't take it. Hopefully nobody has put a gun to your head and told you to find a CL spread trade that you like. Bury those charts on a different page or tab and look at Nat Gas, Heating Oil, ICE Gas Oil, STIRS (been good lately)... my clients...

You know the bottom is in when price action confirms it. Which it does not at present.

Saudi Arabia is running a deficit, the entire Russian economy is based on the premise of oil > $50, and Iran will be looking to raise cash. Any rally will be heavily sold into - as we have seen earlier this year. I personally don't see the case for "solid" supporting technicals or...

Why do so many want to reject the undeniable truth ? Namely, that the world is awash in crude oil, that North America is the largest producer of crude oil in the world, that the latest omnibus spending bill lifted the ban on American crude exports, and that in 2016 Iran gets to export without...

J, I honestly cannot make any performance representations in a client situation where ultimately: 1. I have no control over the trading and trade management decisions a client or ex-client makes, and 2. I do not have the cumulative brokerage statements from each of my current and former...

I've always felt that calendar spreads in the energy complex at least were highly delta directional with the underlying prompt contract, and that butterflys and condors were not so much. I hear what you are saying, but I'm not necessarily in agreement with the notion that butterflys -...

What kills me is how delta-directional Andy Hall's returns were with crude. Lazy, stupid fucker if you ask me. John Arnold was a much smarter manager in terms of leveraged hydrocarbons IMHO.

Well, logic dictates that GS and CB make a number of valid fundamental points, and crude valuation appears to agree thus far. Trying to time market tops and bottoms without supporting price action has always been chippy business no matter what the instrument.

That would be fine if investors were willing to agree to a gate structure in terms of withdrawals. On a managed account basis, where clients can withdraw funds at any time, you would need that 1% just to cover the overhead. There are some fairly stiff legal and accounting expenses that are...
