Amazing troll thread

A trader in finance is a professional who provides liquidity for financial markets, directly by slippage or indirectly by passing others' trades with minimum slippage. An investor seeks profits generated by goods/services sold by a company, directly through dividends or indirectly through share...

Happy to day that I will not have to read one of those articles for sometime, if ever again... (at least not myself someday, anyway ;)) :cool: :o

Not sure what you mean by 'descretionary' (I understand what you're referring to)... there is no such thing as successful/real active trading that doesn't involve high objectivity, which means it may be coded to a large/all extent, even for 'non-HFT' ...unfortunately being a trader today means...

"Although GM has been very profitable since 2009, its stock price never rose to a level that let Treasury to recoup that investment." I can't see a date on that article, but total BS. GM stock price passed the treasuries investment, and ipo price. G and co sold low. In fact, I do recall one of...

Getco (sp?) published their financials which included some documentation of PnL when they got into the Knight deal. I do not have a link right now, but do research it. A real eye opener on the lives of HFT firms, especially larger ones with large offices and payroll ($$$). Their y/y PnL was a...

I have a short list, I think it is my buddy lisf, and I think I posted it somewhere earlier in another thread. It was a work in progress. Most on et are troll/comedy or total dopes (maybe retail, probably ex-retail..;)) not to be harsh, just to be clear...

Stay away from everyone in this thread (and most on et)... Lord...

1.) Monday - Japanese bank holiday 2.) Wednesday - Swiss bank holiday 3.) Thursday - European Union, Chinese and Swiss bank holiday 4.) Monday coming - British and Japanese bank holiday 5.) Thursday coming - EU (only France) bank holiday (New Edge).

Just in case anyone was wondering or read this - I had a data issue that I fixed shortly after posting this. Using proprietary software to look in the rear view mirror and it is not always perfect! :eek:

Great great missive. Always real brights in real finance. I feel glad that your last paragraph is what I was thinking... maybe there something is wrong with me at this age.

This Monday, Thursday, I think Wednesday night, and next Monday are all dotted with dozens of small holidays... everyone seems to have mixed opinions... I'll be working today, but I couldn't think of a more random and painful set of work days! Liquidity will be all over the place, or nonexistent...

I just noticed on an old journal from a few years ago I had crude written for Feb, April, May, July, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec. I wasn't trading crude at the time, and maybe these weren't rollovers, but is it possible this was the old crude rollover? I know this is a very dumb question, but I...

Thanks for the info. It looks like I have a data problem, however it also looks like I have a couple of wrong dates on the crude oil rollover. One trader confirmed to me that occasionally, the next-closest front month (one month ahead of the current month) will have more volume than the...

Thanks for the replies - I read elsewhere on an older thread, that the 04/2010 CL contract was skipped for the 05/2010. The reason I'm coming to the conclusion that it "seems" like some months are skipped, is that the order flow on a couple contracts (04/2013, 12/2013) is completely...

Economic calenders on Bloomberg imply that crude oil rollover take place every month. HOWEVER, based on both volume and level 2 observations, it seems like CL 04/13 was skipped for 05/13 or 06/13 (unsure CL 12/13 was skipped for 01/14, 02/14 or 03/14 (unsure) I have always just traded the...

Why are you such a jerk about it? Have you even read the book? It is a comedy, and a true story one too. It has nothing to do with trading, nor was it intended to. This guy was real. Name me another "Wall Street movie" that was true. If you want trading entertainment, well...read ET :D ...

If this is a "standard essential" patent, won't Apple be forced to license it for a reasonable rate? What else would go wrong for Google if this is what occurs? Or will Apple call this a non-standard essential patent? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_patent
