Im sorry I have nothing to contribute to this thread but I just had to comment on this dumb fucker's posts. Whats up with all that? And of all places to be you are on a trading forum LOL. Dude get a life, job, girlfriend, etc.

bullspreading in corn just relentless today! Deliveries have been pretty light and not many receipts out there along with demand picking up a bit I don't know how you could not want to be bullspread that stuff when its at around 60% full carry. Seeing some guys stopping a ton of wheat...

haha let them do it! I'll stick to what works!

Thought we could use a thread just for grain spreaders.

what the hell does math have to do with trading??? The only relationship between trading and math is that the prices are numbers......other than that math has no value in trading as long as you can add and subtract. If a market is 10 bid @ 10 1/4 and now its 11 bid @ 11 1/4 please tell me...

tape reading is still very much alive in illiquid markets.......with liquid markets its not about watching every single transaction that takes place and watching every single bid/offer, size, etc.....its about reading the ebb and flow of the market. So yes still very possible (I know a lot of...

"I feel sorry for those who don't drink, when they wake up in the morning thats the best they'll feel all day" :D

market making is an extremely competitive business (options, futures, stocks) and those with the largest bankroll and fastest connections to the exchange win plain and simple. The market is always going to be inefficient and those with the above are always going to capitalize on those...

From my experience its because these firms get so many emails, phone calls, resumes, etc from guys wanting to work at the firm that they would have no way of possibly interviewing all of them so they need a way to weed out people and a college education is the easiest way to do that. I for...

good for you! Knowing when to walk away is a good way to go through life.......it allows you to be average and live an average life (which is honestly what some people want). However profitable traders aren't average and sadly the only way to figure out how to win in this business is to...

overconfidence is a great thing to have in this business. My best trading always occurs when I feel like im on top of the world and walk into the office KNOWING that I am going to be a winner today. Knowing that no matter what I do its going to be the right decision. Now while this is...

Believe me in futures it is a zero sum game. For every dollar made there is another dollar lost period.

Im not going to try to fight it anymore. For those on ET that actually know me personally (pabst, rtrader2525, etc) they could honestly tell you that I am not a joke. Other than that I have nothing left to say.....if you guys are not willing to believe me thats fine because personally i...

Gladly Say a market is 300 bid and offered at 302 and the market is priced in halfs (like 300.5,301,301.5 etc) so back to our example. The market is 300 bid for 30 at 302 for 10 with paper being a buyer all day. I would probably bid 300.5 and try to get filled and if filled turn around...

usually a couple hundred contracts a day......I trade lower liquidity/volume contracts so naturally don't trade as many lots as some guys. My commisions are CBOT member rates.

wow forex? I was going to write a detailed post about how you have no fucking idea what you are talking about and obviously don't know how markets are made and who provides liquidity to them but then you said you trade forex so im not even going to waste my time. Dont worry you'll be a real...

hmm, i have never traded a mini before but I am almost certain they are fungable as I know a few guys that have arbed the minis with the standard contracts at the CBOT. I would call you broker to get it straightened out as im almost positive they are.

You sir have no idea what you are talking about. Next time think before you start to talk about something you dont know dick about :D

Not always in a trade but yes you are in a position a large amount of the time during the trading session. Its all about the spread and where you are going to have to bid/offer to get that orderflow without being overly aggressive and getting caught in a position. Its literally all about...

depends........its only 10 bucks per cent which can be both good and bad depending on how much capital you have in your account, your experience, etc. Although there isn't a lot of volume in the mini ags they are fungable with the standard contracts so the price is always competitive (arb opps...
