    Newbie Thread need some answers please.

    Kid, dont listen to the ones who tell you you can't trade with 200$. You wont trade REAL futures with 200$ though. FXpro will take the other side of you trade or will hedge his book of 0.1 orther positions by trading futures for themselves. So you must have an account outside the US I guess. And...

    Circuit Breakers?

    Lawmakers are afraid we will see another sharp sell off and they want to prevent it by having a handle on the market. The last thing they want is the stocks to go down when the unemployment is still bad, Fanie and Freddy still reporting losses and ... The possibility of a great depression is not...

    Is there theta on Vix options?

    The VIX is the volatility of something, the volatility of the VIX is another thing. So the way I understand, there is theta and time decay. And options pricing tools are usable on the VIX but dont believe that Back Scholes is the answer. You must need some stochastic model like the SABR and you...

    How did the market rally back so quickly on May 6?

    2 possibilities; 1- PPT 2- Fake news sent on CNBC that there have been a fat finger or computer glitch. IMHO, in any event, it was a real crash. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2833564#post2833564

    Sucker's Gap Up Tonight

    One thing they may provide is the "insurance" against default on those bonds so the yields should decrease and they will fund their debts at better yields and wont get into an infinite spiral of raising cash to repay the higher debts until default. It will also lower the pressure on the European...

    Chicago firm Terra Nova had nothing to do with Crash. Details its P&G trades.

    Sir, look at the chart of the ES in 1 minute bars and you will see that it was normal trading, nobody pulled it down, the market did. Indeed it was brutal but it was real. It was a crash and manipulators sent news through CNBC that it was a fat finger or computer glitch and the street bought...

    ISO's crashed the market

    It's funny how people can't think, or can't accept that a crash really happened. 1- The SPX is up close to 100% from the lows and the economy is still bad (but slowly improving). 2- The SPX went up in the lsat weeks and may be due for a correction. 3- There are HIGH tensions and uncertainties...

    NYSE says Electronic Trading Black Box for plunge

    Remarks, this is what it is. A poem nothing less. "It's that V-shaped drop where it came down and snaped back right back up". Sir, why dont you look at the drop in 2008: It was a V-shaped drop where it came down and snaped back right back up. Was is for real then? Chearleader.

    NYSE says Electronic Trading Black Box for plunge

    IMO, this thing was for real. Real money, real players, real trades. Just look in one minute charts of the ES how it is smoothly draging down b4 14:45. Just a plain simple falling knife. PG fell off the table at 14:46, relative value traders (pairs) or panic selling but the people traders are...

    Grinding it out, day after day

    I remember someone who shorted BUD or Inbev on the OPG and the stock shut up 10 or 20$ in seconds or minutes. This was 2 years ago or something. There was an article in the wall street journal about a potential buyout. So you can consider this as a worst case scenario that wont happen in your...

    Is this illegal?

    If it's public information it's legal, if not it's illegal. So if you can sit in the court and listen to the verdict it's legal. But if it's behind closed doors and you find a way to know it would be insider information. I am no lawyer and am clueless about the law BTW! I guess the news is...
