    Today's market= computers programmed to trade higher+ millions of dollars in their back

    This might be a long response and I don't want to leave you hanging. I'll try to explain this in detail this evening. It's an extremely important concept to understand in economics so it deserves more then a one line response.

    Do i qualify to be a prop trader?

    I'm going to try to give you some good advice here. Go get a real job with a real paycheck. If you don't have the education, borrow the money and get one. Guys come on here and they ask this question a 1000 times and the solution is actually pretty straightforward. You are probably a...

    The ACD Method

    I think prices can go a lot lower especially if we start to see economic growth curtail. Basically, what we have here is a great example of modern game theory. The players are fighting for monopoly power. Each firm's decision is predicated on what they think their opponent is going to do...

    Today's market= computers programmed to trade higher+ millions of dollars in their back

    There has never been a correlation between the economy and the stock market and why should there be? They operate in different time mechanisms. The economy exists in the present and the stock market is discounting the future. Has nothing to do with anything being programmed. And the Fed...

    Has this place died?

    The pay is not for giving out your edge. LOL. And you don't "pay" them anything. And they don't "give" you anything. And how are vultures going after low hanging fruit? LOL. Can't they do that here? Under the other model they wouldn't be able to.

    Has this place died?

    Surf, Metoxx never "posted" those edges on ET. He "hired" guys from ET to work for him. There is difference. He never started a thread and said this is what we do. Yes, I have also met great people on here. Lots. But that is a different topic entirely. ET can be a great networking...

    Baron, I'm not talking about overall intelligence. Rather intelligence as it relates to quantitative analysis and trading. A pilot knows more then a Doctor about flying and a Doctor knows more about medicine then a pilot. THAT is the problem. As you pointed out, doctors and pilots come to...

    Has this place died?

    SIV, even at ET's zenith, nobody ever shared their edges. That is NOT what this forum is for. This forum is for exchanging "ideas". For example, I might find an obscure article about John Arnold. It was a really good article actually and I posted it. The dude NEVER EVER talks. And he did...

    Has this place died?

    And furthermore SIV, let me add, most people on this board most certainly do NOT trade equities or the VIX for that matter. That has not been the case since the late 90's. The PDT rule killed that. If you put a gun to my head I would bet 90% of the actual "traders" here are trading energy...

    Has this place died?

    SIV, it's not the low vol. We printed a 9 reading on the VIX in 2007 following 3 years of the deadest markets in the history of markets and activity on this board was 3 times higher and the intellect was higher as well. There are plenty of other places out there where content is being shared...

    Has this place died?

    I think maybe ET should move towards a royalty model such as TSU. http://www.zdnet.com/new-social-network-tsu-signs-one-million-users-in-just-five-weeks-7000036118/ This site allows users to monetize their content and creates an incentive for users to "create value" since they actually can get...

    The ACD Method

    He could be trading forwards with specific producers that are financing future production. One of the advantages in long dated futures markets, especially energy is that they tend to trade at a deep discount. This is where producers hedge future production. By locking in a future price (even...

    The ACD Method

    http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/09/us-oil-hedgefunds-hall-idUSKBN0H423H20140909 A few months old but still interesting. FWIW, Andrew Hall is one of the biggest players in the oil space.
