Ivan, a couple of links http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20051124/non-confidence_motion_051124/20051124?hub=TopStories This article says the government is going to fall on Monday after a bill is tabled today www.cpac.ca This is our version of CSPAN. You can watch...

Cash market is trading slowly. Here is a link to the cme. I think we could get a big move in $C when politics mixes with the limited liquidity in the market today http://www.cme.com/trading/res/cch/2005thanksgiving832.html

Just make sure that you long before this afternoons festivities. That right today is going to be the best day ever to watch CPAC. I am planning to make some popcorn, have a beer, watch a government fall oh and most importantly make 100pips

Maybe you should take profits now(1.1713) and look to get long again around 1.1705 during the usual 8:30 selloff

Scalping euro futures and euro fx is entirely different when it come to how you are going to get filled and how the liquidity plays out. A strategy that I have thought of using is buying an option on the big futures in a hopefully a congested market. When the option is profitable take an...

ES ES Trade futures. As you should even if you have 25K

I try to help people out here all the time. I have trouble believing that other people are going to copy my strategy to the point that the market changes and it doesn't work anymore. At best most people will learn a bit about the markets by reading what I give away about my strategy. The...

It is quite likely that the government will fall next week some time. I would want to be short $C before then especially when the charts are showing a trading channel that reinforces that view. As long as the $US has a positive interest rate differential I can't see the $C breaking out to the...

Thanks, Looks like I should have punched. I don't think it will be long until we see 1.800 again but I would like to squeeze some profits out of the range bound markets today and tomorrow

Do I punch for a profit at 1.1730 for a profit before the oil report or hold on for more?

I am long at 1.1715 looking for 1.1742

I was just wondering if IB had fixed the bug on the QM charts? I would like to look at one but I am afraid that my system will crash. I would like to look at QG, has anyone ever had problems with it?

In fairness to reporters everywhere, it is really hard to know what precisely is moving the market a lot of the time. I can trade the Canadian dollar all day and think I know what was moving the market and then I get talking to my grain hedging buddies and they have a different idea about what...

Good call Ivan As for the current situation I was wondering if yesterdays move was exaggerated by Acelor (the Belgian Steel maker) buying $C for their takeover bid for Dafasco. There was nothing unusual in the futures volume, I was wondering if anyone heard if a big player was doing a lot of...

I'll bet you get stoped out around 2:15 today-just a hunch

If you guys can program as well as you say you can write a program that scalps between the "spread price" and price of the legs. Often with Eurodollars you only need to get filled "gaining the bid/ask" on one contract and you can punch on the other two and have a built in profit. I have done...

How much liquidity is there in the securitized spread contract? If you were trading a Dec/Mar spread and each contract traded 50,000 times, how many of those would be though the securitized spread contract?

The British Bankers Association sets the London international bank interest rate, here is a link to there website. http://www.bba.org.uk/bba/jsp/polopoly.jsp;jsessionid=a2rSOSvhFrv5?d=103

Just a though about option selling. Right now the VIX is around 11. I used to sell puts with great success when the VIX was at 35-40. When the market changes as a trader you must adapt. With the VIX at 11 the advantage is to the holder of the long option. What I have done is learned how to use...
