FWIW, I always ran TT on a dedicated workstation configured per TT's technical bulletin. TT Damon is especially sensitive to firewall settings. Also, I never ran any other applications or programs not required by TT on the machine. Same for CTS4. I'm not saying that's your problem, but it...

New webinar sent out today. I'll probably have another to send out tomorrow.

The 2:00 pm hourly close was 149-24, and the 4:00 pm hourly close was 149-23. The 2:00 pm hourly low was 149-18 and the 4:00 pm hourly low was 149-17. The 2:00 pm hourly high was 149-29 and the 4:00 pm hourly high was 149-23. I have both CSI data and eSignal data, and I cannot see how the...

I would put absolutely no credence in what happens in the "pits". The volume and order flows are miniscule as compared to the screen. The floor is still there essentially to accommodate the visitor tours - it's an outdated romantic perception and server farms are just plain boring. The pit...

It's not free money. The thing about markets and trading is that it attracts many smart and talented people. If you are truly "generally poor", maybe the best approach is to angle for an analyst or assistant position within a trading firm and work your way up to trader from there.

Any brave souls trading the July / Dec Cotton Spread ?

I have booked five individual client meetings this week in order to review paper trading performance metrics via live "Go To Meeting" webinars.

State Commodity Traders Grow to take on Glencore, Cargill http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-05-31/state-commodity-traders-grow-to-take-on-glencore-cargill

The Saudis insist on being paid for their oil with US Dollars. In fact, the big Middle Eastern producers have economic incentives to continue to demand dollars. The contract does not remove the dollar peg - the Shanghai contract specifications offer the option of settling in either the Yuan or...

Please explain how this is a national security issue for the United States. At first blush, many might conclude that State owned energy companies dominating a State-controlled trading exchange is not going to attract legitimate price discovery or outside participation. Just my honest opinion...

I think the problem from a law enforcement perspective with civilians and open carry is security of the weapon from others. Officers are trained about securing their side arms from unknowns and how to react if your weapon is taken, but of course there is no training for civilians with CC...

Taking a loss is very, very important. I do it on a regular basis. In fact, I'm a card carrying holder of the capital preservation society.

Please, whatever you decide, DO NOT TRADE MEAN REVERSION for cross-country spread trades. It is a pure divergence play and you will get crushed. I'm talking ZN/Bund, Eurodollar/Euribor, WTI / Brent, whatever.

Not sure. If they are an exchange member FCM they should be offering the exchange SPAN margin offsets in terms of margin rates for futures spreads and options just as the exchange publishes them daily. It's an exchange rule. Maybe their intraday risk system isn't set up to margin inter and...

If you have children in the household, my advice would be to buy a Glock 9 mm pistol and that Hornady Rapid gun safe so that you could keep on your nightstand or kitchen countertop or whatever. With children around, you would need to keep a long gun in a proper safe and that is not an option in...

Nice. The Shanghai Trading Exchange has a Cultural Development Office and a Party Committee Office, and of course there remains the elephant in the room - namely the huge nationalized energy companies China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and China Shenhua Energy Company ( SEHK ) .

Then why start a thread entitled "Making a Killing in Index Futures" ? It appears from your posts that you've already formed an opinion about index futures market behaviors, so just go ahead and trade it already. For the record, many short term index futures traders have been complaining for...

I would certainly keep an eye on Eonia versus the US repo rate... Personally, I steer my clients away from cross-continental intra market plays if that's your original intent. It wasn't clear to me from your OP if it was a choose one country proposition or a US vs UK bet you are proposing...
