I've brought it up several times but no one on ET seems to be interested. And it's been getting "hammered" for a very long time now.

I don't want to go into details regarding the cracks. Just stick to the principles of apples to apples. When you go out on the curve make sure you understand that you are trading less of the outright and more of something else. It's usually a delivery market so you really are betting on...

When I track the Brent/WTI spread I actually use the US hours for both for compatibility.

Usually when people have "opinions", the market does exactly the opposite. She's a cruel mistress.

Volume in crude and all of the energy complex is tricky. Most of the money is in cash and swaps. And the volume you see on the outrights is just that...outright, not the spreads or the cracks, etc. The swaps market in the energy complex is huge. That's really where the action is because that...

Honestly, 90% of my time is spent on spreadsheets. I hardly look at my positions. I know where my outs are...and HONOR them. I spend so much time collecting data, organizing it, analyzing it and then from time to time I'll come up with new ideas and dip into the old data and see if there is...

Swan, he is just trolling. The post was in jest.

OK, since everyone is ducking the topic of the thread, can someone walk me through the correlation between trading and racism. Obviously it's BS, but the entertainment value alone of listening to someone rationalize it might be worth a Friday afternoon distraction.

You mean to tell me this big expansive government program to provide both access and affordability does not provide access or affordability? I'm shocked.

I would love to see your statistical evidence to back up that claim. Hell I would even enjoy just watching you struggle to make it up.

Might actually get a negative 30 day confirm in Dollar Yen tomorrow. That would be the first time in a long while. Also, Bonds are confirming. That's one of those trades where it pains me to a see a confirm and takes absolute discipline to execute it. TBT already confirmed for me back on...

Read this thread over and you will see why most traders fail. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=278594

Dude, there are moves everyday on every time frame. I'm sorry that you struggle to find them. But you probably waste more time bitching on ET then doing actual research so I'm not surprised. I see stocks that move 5% to 10% everyday, up and down. And I can't even remember the last trade I made...

I get that a lot. :D

That's what people said post 1987, post 2002, post 2009. Hell even post 1979. Come on guys, markets go through cycles. Volatility breathes in and out. Move over to the energy complex or to the metals or to currencies. Regarding the public, 95% of the public is NOT managing their money...

I'm sorry man, I just can't agree with anything you said. In fact we had limit markets all during last year and the year before. Did you not watch corn and soybeans and wheat trade up to record levels? Dude where were you went cotton went limit up almost every single day on it's move from 40...

If you want to speak out against that stuff, do so on another thread where it's more applicable. You were "speaking out" as you put it while bringing the market into it. The reason I posted on this thread was to respond to the absurdity that anyone would simply get short the market because of...

Wow, you sound like a pretty angry trader. Debating you is quite a challenge as I have to sidestep around your anger and listen to you rant about the FED endlessly. This is why you should not trade what you think, but trade what you see. Blaming the Fed for your trading is not going to make...

X continues to march towards my end of year target Captain.
