btw, i sold more TF on Friday at 1140.4

:D

RIP

nah, it's just cl has become more news sensitive. look at today's spike, caused by fresh sanctions against russia.

It's not algos, it's just that cl is reacting to geopolitical news, of which there is a lot lately. Explains the choppiness and the abrupt price explosions.

emg is a good bloke actually. tells it as it is. What's the risk of futures versus stocks?

I use the nominal value of the contract multiplied by the number of contract divided the the funds under management. E.g. say i sold 4 contracts of TF at 1152, the nominal value is $115,200 x 4 = $460,800. Assuming I am managing $1m, I am not leveraged...only using 46% of my funds. If i was...

Lol, I'm more of a Chelsea guy tbh :cool:

But in your post, you were talking about margin rates, specifically the overnight rate. I don't understand what that has to do with anything.

Chill, guys, we're all mates here :cool: Tiddlywinks, the reason why i have had a drawdown is because of losing trades, nothing to do with overnight margin rates. TBH, i don't even know what the margin rates are.

added at 1142.4, tightening stops

Pls short the weakest indexes i.e. the russell. Even Janet Yellen said small caps were over valued!

out at 10200

To whom?

I was up massively for the funds i manage in the 1st two weeks of this month....sadly i've had 12 losing trades since which have wiped out virtually all the gains, so doing the right thing now by cutting position size: short russell at 52, half normal size. :(

+1 :cool:

net loser on cl trading this year... fortunately, all positions are money managed :D

short 10280, 100 tick stop
