Thanks

Looking to sell my call before the weekend It has been nice to catch most of what I think is a counter trend move. I think we will be headed lower on the schatz on monday.

What does the acronym "RM" stand for? Real Money perhaps?

i just covered my short at .75, i still have a long call, hoping to blow it out at a better price at the open

Well I hope you are right. I just sold the put part of my straddle and then sold a future against my long call. It is already at near breakeven hopefully the leg down will make this a good day.

Try searching google books for "stat arb" Try "beta adjusting" a NQ contract in order to value it as a ES contract.

Okay is there anywhere I could find the delta of the 2/5/10 butterfly in terms of any of the base compents? For example the "30 day average delta of the fly in shatx terms is .35"

Anyone know where I can find good implied vol and stat vol on eurex fixed income products? Does anyone out there trade spreads against options?

Watching WSW has made me check out "Traders" on CLT at 10pm eastern. It seems to be about 10 years old and it is really well done for a Canadian show. While shows like this may not "teach" you anything about trading. I do find that it help get my trading brain in gear in valuable way. If...

Watch out for one tick new highs or lows on the bund just outside of the 2-3am eastern extremes. This can be a trap if you are trading breakouts, which is often a good strategy on the bund. Maybe look at trading spreads like bund/bobl off the start to get a feel for it. What is your...

Okay I just fried my 19v ac adapter for my acer notebook. If I were to use a 18v would it work just fine or should I go buy a new 19v? (I think I know the anwser but thought I would ask)

Let say I sent you a message by placing 20 separate words on separate pieces of paper. If you can read the message you gain unlimited wealth. The thing is you only understand what 5 of the words mean. If some one came along with a definition for one of the words, would you try to work with...

A few things; Have a look at "optionscoach" closed end fund thread. It will give you a few ideas. I would think you would want to keep the funds in one place as much as possible. Wire fees can eat up interest earned if your not careful. You may want to look t IB exchange for physicals...

I think McD is on to something. You can get in and out of McD in less than 5 minutes and for about $3 get a coffee and McMuffin. You can get in and out of Tim Horton's in less than 10 minutes with a breakfast sandwich. The dark roast coffee at McD tastes just as good as a dark roast...

Briefing.com bond market update is excellent. Fxstreet has a lot of stuff, some good some bad

I was wondering if Mr. Floor trader thinks that side by side is here to stay or if all trading will be done on globex in 5 years. For what it is worth I think i get better fills on side by side products than electronic only product with my IB account

I have been looking at es/nq and sim trading it a bit, looks interesting. Good be something that would work in the overnight session. Anyone else trade this spread?

estx50, i'm pretty sure

Using the same currency would make things easier. You could look at using ishares Europe against ishares UK. Another idea would be to trade dax futures against eurostoxx 50 or NQ/ES Your real trade here might be financials against tech. You may be able to do this better with an ETF or...
