I take my losses. I set my stop- loss at the time of trade entry and either my indicator package stops me out or that original stop-loss level takes me out. The good part about this business is that if you are adept and eager to take your loss and move on to the next trade - you are going to...

I respect that. Says something to me.

OK. I'm an Engineer by training and a Systems Guy. ( but I like to party ). I have four technical rules-based criteria that need to be satisfied before a client enters a position. Furthermore, I insist that my clients create a stop-loss level and a profit target at the time of trade entry (...

This is good. I am coming around to this bold idea quite smartly. One of two things will happen with the OP of a thread: 1. The OP will delete vindictive personal attacks and value statements without hard evidence. This is good. 2. The OP will delete all dissention or alternative...

75.81 is a far cry from 62.50. Just saying.

You sound anxious. As a sponsor who teaches a spread trading system, I have been filleted and grilled and gang banged nine ways from Sunday. Grow a thicker skin. Accept the fact that disagreement is as likely as agreement. Maybe be more constructive and thoughtful with your posts. Just...

So, just as a test, MS should be able to delete this next week if I posted this all over again under a new thread of his...

Tommo, my other thought is to look for a give-up agreement for that particular market you are interested in ( PM ). While you will give up a healthy haircut for the courtesy, it's a start and you will save outright capitalization. When you really start banging, you can move up to NewEdge...

Oh, I have a couple clients who are major contributors over there. And they are cowed. They parse their words and huddle in their foxholes. They post with great anxiety.

Last I checked they capped the maximum at 200. Which sucks for STIRS. Shamefully IMHO.

Personally, and this is just me and my own money... I won't consider an inter market spread that doesn't show north of 93% positive correlation 2 years OTR, and I have to look at the order books side-by-side for at least a couple months and check for non-sensical lags and cointegration. My 2...

The cross-country inter market stuff can go really bad and without much warning. Even looking at the swap rates isn't much solice. Just saying.

Yes, but my point remains - exchanges report violations to the regulators; and that includes the SEC.

Just forwarded one of my clients to a prominent Chicago prop futures firm who asked for my graduates.

Tommo, you start making money on a consistent basis, and that firm will lever the piss out of you and give you the keys to the kingdom. Like, take 75% or you walk. Like, London Investment Bank next stop. Any prop firm will lever you to the hilt with THEIR capital if you are consistent...

Tommo, get involved in Energy. It is a spread trader's wet dream. Quit competing with the masses. Zig when the rest of the room is zagging.

I like the smell of your cooking. Paul Rotter was my best friend in that I would hit or lift his size against Euribor or Gilts. Loved it. BTW what idiot would scalp Schatz against that ??? What pissed me off was LIFFE going to Pro Rata order matching. FU. They are still calling me to this...

This could be good. BMT is a pathological Orwellian tyranny, and T2Win has closed high school cliques. This could be an improvement.
