And you will find the B/O spread wide. CMC are a not a broker -they're a bookmaker. They decide how wide the goal posts are. Stat arb is a capital intensive/low cost dependant business. Starting small at a CFD broker like CMC -even if your trades are successful will just slowly convert your...

Echo are ' investigating alternatives' for Series 7 req. What that means is unclear as of yet. They are also not withholding 20% profits and have no plans to do so. Above is from their Operations Manager as of last week Looks like they are diverging from the Bright/Golly model which...

If you are not an HF or day trader, don't really understand the attraction of SPY/QQQQ or most ETFs from a retail pairs trader POV. If you're trading size, maybe the liquidity factor is appealing, and no M&A activity or up/downgrades or earnings to worry about, but as your screen shot shows...

A phone nr wld be nice I agree. PTF are based in Australia, and most of their clients are in N.America. I think the time zone diff. is probably why they don't offer phone support. I have found their mail responses pretty prompt though

It could be Black Swan Dr.Who, but my experience of trading Oil stocks is they make very poor candidates for mean reversion. Out of 47 sectors I have traded for the past 11 months Oil/Pipelines come in at bottom: Sector/ Nr of Trades/ %Winning Trades Oil...

Hi Jonny, nice to hear from you. Just out of interest- I see you're using v2.96. I am using 2.89. Does Jarred notify you when newer version is available for d.load?

Guys...Click on the 'Pear' icon in the top L/H corner of the app. Click on Preferences Here, via the 'Signal Settings' and 'Universal Layer Settings' tabs you can edit the variables for how/when signals are triggered.

None that I know of. There are a number of prop shops in EUR, mostly based in UK. There, they call them Trading arcades. Whether they take US customers might be another story. I have a link for all prop shops worldwide on my other laptop. PM me, and I will send it to you.

Do prop shops need to see individual trading records before allowing access to firms capital? If you have a proven strategy, is the training offered by Echo/Bright a disguised revenue generator for the prop shop, or do do they have to offer it to be compliant with Series 7 registration?

Long stock - I disregard ex-div dates. If I am short the stock and it goes ex div wthin my max trade length(15 days) I look at what the payout/share is. If it is significant I will probably pass on the trade. Best source of ex div dates is earnings.com

New Trade: NYSE Brokers Sold AMTD @ 19.27 Bought MS @ 29.57 Unfortunately, entered at Layer 1 earlier in session . Layer 2 signal triggered around close so did not have enough time to enter trade. Maybe I should get IQ real time feed after all. Will add Layer 2 if opening prices are...

No, I don't. Have real time through my broker. Even with PTF using data with 15 min delay, have not found significant enough deviation from exit/entry signals levels to justify going real time IQ route. Would sign up in a minute if IQ offered Euro bourses real time. Integrity of data from...
