SCR, how many proprietary futures traders or firm officers are registered on an individual name basis with the NFA ? Better yet, how many Chicago futures prop traders reading this post can find their individual names on the NFA website if they weren't a registered floor trader, broker, CTA, IB...

SCR, you are not a third party expert on proprietary futures trading account statements. Like your psychotic crush convexx, you love to keep bringing up the debit aspect without mentioning the $488K positive US non-reg balance. Say it 100 times it must be true. This was all well explained by...

Yes, let's limit this to the facts. The fact of the matter is that an industry recognized third party expert states for the record that the debit IS in fact cumulative year 2006 profits, stated as the U.S. non-reg balance ( which is positive, dickhead), and which is swept at the end of each...

Because you are a compulsive, narcissistic, sadistic DSM-IV psychotic - it would not be helpful to provide you with still another diversion in your life so that you can continue to ignore your own shit. I choose not to reinforce your compulsive sickness and give you cover for not holding your...

Convexx, you are bullying me and trolling me incessantly because the payoff for you is that is helps regulate your own personal anxiety and self-doubts. Your behavior is compulsive, narcissistic, and sadistic. You are, in fact, very troubled emotionally. You are clearly suffering from a...

Your anger and constant trolling on this issue is a natural reaction to being proven dead wrong and openly humiliated. No matter how many times you post and troll about it, you cannot hide the inconvenient facts that you choose to ignore from being "outed" by the Risk Manager for one of the...

I definitely will do this Winter. My sincere thanks to you for being constructive and positive - most appreciated.

I would truly appreciate any insights you have. I had some strong advice from a securities attorney four years ago - his feeling was that it would be much easier for me to run astray of the law and end up getting sued doing client educational work than, for example, to solicit a private...

I totally agree that the website is a complete POS. Working on hiring someone to correct that over the Winter. IMHO, a well-constructed spread combination does generate legitimate alpha in that it should not have the same delta directionality tendencies as the broad market sector in terms of...

Ranger, I agree with Hedron and Cornix. Maybe try smaller size at first and swing trade your convictions. IMHO, if you could manage to pull that off with some consistency you'll have a higher ceiling and more options for your professional trading future. Just my own 2 cents. Just as a side...

Way cool. Thanks for the post !

Good eye and excellent link. Too bad those golden arbitrage arbitrage opportunities just never last long enough for us little fish to get a taste.

My old Energy Company used to buy power so cheap from a municipal power plant in Springfield Illinois that it eventually was found out by other trading companies and it became a substantial scandal. One coal plant whose trader was paid a modest city government salary and he just didn't give a...

The fact that it's fragmented would make it an excellent arbitrage opportunity for a physical OTC trader. Especially since the traders at the smaller producers are typically not well paid so they have less motivation to seek out the best price. A prop trader at Cargill or Koch Would be much...

Thanks so much ! That link went immediately into the favorites section on the browser. This is strictly a WAG, based on my own experience trading fuels and power for a major commercial net long producer, but the selling pressure on the long term expiries is almost certainly one or more of...

I have one client who spreads ES vs NQ intraday - it's his core trade and he's been doing it for a long time. In fact, he manages a modest HF and he's been at it since way before he hired me so there's no doubt he's consistent with it. The two of us did a swing trade with it last year that...

Does anybody know who the largest producers are? I do have an old trading associate who I understand now lives in Oklahoma and he supposedly trades ethanol on the physical market OTC. If I can dig up his email I'll shoot him an email and ask. Although if he's involved he might be a bit cagey...

DTN had some really nifty tools for the ethanol market. One of the cool things you can do is overlay the ethanol crush ( corn and Nat gas ) versus unleaded gasoline. It used to be a remarkable charting excercise but then it got a bit schizophrenic. I agree completely that ethanol is a very...
