Gold has been a store of value for ever, mainly because we can't produce much of it compared to the existing stocks in circulation. It's rare, we can't chemically produce it and it doesn't deteriorate, so most of the gold we own has been melted ( and perhaps remelted ) a long time ago. If, for...

There are a few factors at play here : ( quite ) low level of inventory according to EIA + skyrocketing markets in Asia and Europe + consequences of Ida. TTF and NBP had taken a beating earlier in the month on the news that NordStream 2 was close to completion, but the expectations for natural...

On a side note, this is hilarious ( and so harsh for Lindstrom ) : "CONCLUSION Plaintiffs, like many investors in the first half of 2020, lost a great deal of money. COVID-19 is responsible for those losses. Plaintiffs fail to plausibly connect TDA and TDAFF to those losses. The Motion to...

A good read. Actually, the judge isn't clear about what would have been the decision if Lindstrom had actually tried to liquidate his position through the software and couldn't: "The third alleged omission is TDAFF's failure to enable protocols on its platform that would permit investors to...

I have the same problem. I use IB to trade the products on exchanges I don't subscribe to( With most FCM you need to have real time datas to trade a product ). I recently subscribed to ICE Canada because I was losing too much on Canola trading blindly, even if I barely trade it 10-20 times a...

If it is just to roll a position, simply place a limit order closer and closer to the midpoint of the synthetic B/A. Give it some time to get a fill. You won't lose much in "edge" on such a calendar spread.

It seems right. You can't have the native spreads bid/ask depth without subscribing.

Thanks, as Shanghai and LME are in contango, it seems that it must be a NY only thing.

That's what I read in the news somewhere. It can be an easy culprit for journalists. China is actually the largest consumer of copper so can it be that they anticipate larger demand in the next few month for reconstruction, reparation...? I don't know. Anyway, the serial expiries are still out...

Apparently, the move in the calendar spreads yesterday was due to China's flood. The serial expiries curve is still out of whack because of the move in Sep. I read somewhere that the LME/COMEX arb blew out. Any idea why U/V is so strong compared to V/X? It should have corrected already. Not...

That's possible. I remember when I used IB to trade calendars, they were displaying the real native spreads order book but only best bid and best offer. I was only talking about chart display, you can really place orders in the native book with IB( I still do sometimes but I don't subscribe to...

IB doesn't display the native calendar spreads quotes but the difference between the 2 months( false ). It also displays the prices the opposite of the "normal" way ( + front - deferred being long usually ).

The single mom working at Mc Donald's and big corporations have kind of the same treatment : No taxes at all or next to nothing( which is totally normal in the case of the single mom ). Too much weight of fiscality lies between the two, especially on small business owners.

6 years after funding my first online account( stocks ) and 2 years after starting futures trading and being serious about it. I was actually profitable from day 1 on stocks just because it was 2002 and I didn't even consider short selling( pure luck in a bull market ). The first 4 years on...

Jun 30th and March 31st crop and acreage reports are bigger than monthly WASDEs. Those are the only reports I specially adjust existing positions and anticipate possible other candidates for.

Mimran just tried to kill himself in prison after getting 13 years. Not sure, but I guess his other trials ( carbone credits and killing of his father in law ) are what inspired the movie "Carbone". Great movie by the way. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6183834/

Economic viability perhaps.

It is true that there can be a manipulation by collusion case since they are all independent traders. But their volume was a drop in the daily volume, so I don't know...
