Who's the hottest financial news anchor around? My nomination is Trish Regan on Bloomberg, stunning beauty! https://si0.twimg.com/profile_images/3393179022/f608aa1c91eb2a72a396cc08d7a4436a.jpeg

Now I know who's your CIO... ;-)

I'm afraid you're right. Gee, so much for trying to be helpful...

I can do that, but normally I only bother doing it for prospective clients. I'm indifferent if you believe the numbers or not, but anyway see an excerpt attached.

Correct, the ES contract has 50x leverage, but I keep about 70% of the capital in cash as cushion. How to trade it? Adequate stop losses and other safety mechanisms. What else information do you need?

Well, you may check out my trading journal "Quantum Leap" on this forum, and you might change your mind. But since you won't listen anyway, I'm not gonna argue any further.

Well, it all depends on how you price your time and the opportunity cost...

Last week started off well with three days of consecutive gains, albeit finishing with two days of relatively sharp declines due to unfavorable market conditions (i.e. lack of direction) as investors are getting increasingly wary of how long the bull run will prevail and are hence quick at...

How about saving time and money perhaps?

Completely agree. Those that rely on gut feelings usually say something like "there's a 50/50 chance that..." - if you do that you're gonna be approximately right and people will remember you; if not, people will just forget and ignore you...

Hell no.

There are free Matlab alternatives as well, e.g. Octact - not sure about compatibility though.

Btw, check http://www.milkeninstitute.org/events/gcprogram.taf?function=detail&EvID=3956&eventid=GC13 at 15:30.

In the short term, I think you are right, in the long term not. What would it take to scare off investors from BOTH stocks and treasuries? Probably another Lehman-scale event...

You don't need to build from scratch - there's plenty of source code available out there. Anyway, I'm not a salesman so if you're not yet convinced I'm not gonna argue - I'm just saying what works for me and it's your call what to do next.

I'm ok if it goes against me for a while, as I'm 99.9% sure it will eventually turn around (just look at any historical bond yield chart, or listen to e.g. Bill Gross and other experts) - yields have never been lower, and if they would continue going down further, that additional drop won't be...

Interactive Brokers have an ActiveX API for live trading (I've used it for intra-day trading for a year now and I'm 100% satisfied). If you insist on C/C++/C#/..., my recommendation would be to do prototyping in Matlab and then port to any other language - in this way you'll save yourself a...

Don't get me wrong - retail solutions may work just fine for you, but in my experience they simply haven't been able to offer the level of control and customization I need for my systems to work optimally.

As this isn't a day trade I don't worry too much about exact levels, but right now is a good time to go short, and exiting when the yields have risen to their long-term averages, potentially even higher depending on the situation then.

I'd say short US treasuries for the mid- to long-term! Yields definitely won't go much lower...
