    Bitcoin thread anyone?

Right now maybe about $16,000 USD of liquidity within 10 cents of the best bid and ask on both sides.. take a look for yourself at bitcoin.clarkmoody.com

    How do you trade corn without the use of futures contracts?

    Is there an ETF specifically geared towards corn? Options would actually be more preferable. I would really like to buy and put & call at current levels to expire in 2 months. Not sure which way it is going to break, but my guess is that corn is not at these levels for too much longer...

    Eric Cantor the sly one, insider trader ban does not apply to family of congress

    Anyone who votes in Cantor or any of those other fucks is most likely far too busy with American Idol or America's Got Talent to be parading around as such.

    Why some Americans asking for lower salary from the boss?

    Yes, lets just give back all our money to Ben Bernanke and Obama when we die so they can finance the new war in Afghanistan for opium. You are a fucking idiot.

    Casino gambler flops :Paulson's fund lost 46 %

    That is a really good explanation I think. I was thinking along similar lines where you could say equity markets are just instruments that large institutions/big money utilize to buy at wholesale prices and sell back to the public. Of course, not everything always works perfectly.

    WTF "SEC approves plan to curb volatility in stocks"

    Yeah, but who the hell but some bot parsing data can determine in 15 seconds what is "fundamental" (whatever the fuck that means) and what is not "fundamental"?

    Impossible to run strategies on IB unreliable equity data?

    What are the most professional automated trading platforms ?

    I think Sierra Charts offers the most for the best price. Not really sure what you could not accomplish with SC. Honestly, you will find the best software to perform these operations is proprietary in nature and not for retail use.
