Housing woes, tighter credit, and a softer labor market should douse it Did the Federal Reserve do a good thing or a bad thing? Wall Street and bourses around the world seem to be of two minds since the Fed boldly slashed its target interest rate by a half-point on Sept. 18. The response in...

Thanks. You are right, it looks like I tried the wrong symbol before. USD -> FUTURES brings up the right tree in TWS. Thanks again.

I saw the symbol in the product list of the NYBOT but I couldn't pull it up in my TWS. Any ETA on this? Appreciate any info.

Big props for this post. Should be made a sticky around here!!!!

No, the topic is not "stupid quants" (I am not a "quant" either), the topic is the viability of multi-factor arb equity strategies after this summer's melt down and recent adjustments they have made. Your posts are repetitive and off topic: "world class traders" (yourself) vs. "stupid quants"...

Thanks for the detailed reply, I tried reading it twice, still I am not sure if it was a response to my post at all though. Maybe you haven't read my post at all, that would explain a lot. I guess the gist of it is that you consider yourself a world class trader and "all those quants" are...

How much should they gain weekly instead? Would you feel better if they only gained say 1% a week? Why not let the market sort it out?

Your list above makes it look like this year's equity L/S meltdown had a historic parallel. I do not agree. "Those" panics did not have the same effects on a tick by tick basis on all asset classes as the 2007 one had. Every respective crisis affects each fundamentally different strategy in a...

I think this is a great signal to all other European banks out there: "Go gamble in Las Vegas with customer deposits, if you lose the government will cover your a**" :D Nothing better than a system of European semi-socialism that covers anybody from any risk whatsoever. It's a perfect world!

Troll alert, exactly the same was posted before in another thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=105863

Of course you're still working on those kinda numbers and you will for the rest of your life without ever getting close with the level of risk you must be taking because you will get hit with 50% account drawdowns every other month.

A lot of the articles and posts I read these days ("bubbles", "overvalued", "top" etc.) remind me of what I read about Robertson's Tiger fund. A legendary hedge fund in the 90s, they got burned in the late stage of the Internet bubble by going long "value" stocks and shorting any type of grossly...

I take it you're paying, then count me in!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love bear steak, especially with fresh juice dripping from it.

I'm having a nice tender BEAR STEAK tonight, medium rare:

I'm all in short and put my trading helmet on. Are we ready to crash now? I sure hope so, otherwise I will be broke soon!!!!!!!!! "Just a suckers rally on low volume."

What bear ever needed any technical analysis???? All they need is that special bearish "gut feeling". We all know how reliable that is :p

Wasn't Tice the same guy that said in March of this year how he was never more confident with his short positions and went all in short because he "felt" the market was ready to crash 40%? LMAO

CHNR now around 40 on my screen. Congrats on the trade, Tim.

Thing is this: You think it was any different with number releases in the 70s, 80s, 90s than it is now? All the charts we look at for reference include all kinds of number releases, fed statements and God knows what forecasts. Trade the charts works today just like it worked 10 or 20 years ago...

RIMM... congrats to all longs!!!
