Hi Cutten, True, but what’s the purpose of life then. If one never experienced sorrow, how would one know happiness. Unless of course piling up cash gives one the best satisfaction in life. To me, money are just the means. Extremely important, but not a substitution to everything else...

Hi Elit, I am in somewhat similar shoes. I am also in IT, but have been doing it for a while now. I got interested in trading several years ago, and laid out objectives of reaching a goal of successful full time trader. My main interest in trading, besides the fact that this occupation is...

After last week downtime of Eurex, I am researching the same thing. How can one hedge DAX or Euro Stoxx when Eurex goes down and our stops along with it. I am looking for legitimate and electronic way. Thanks, redduke

Hi Rosy, Any chance you can make a copy and mail it? I will of course reimburse for tape, shipping cost, which are pretty much peanuts but nevertheless. There is not much I can offer in return, but I’ll be in this business for a long while, so one day I might return the good deed. I...

Except for the fact that the pits never go down where electronic platforms do (experienced first hand on Eurex yesterday, it was down for 1.5 hours, 4 minutes after open), I do not see any other advantages of trading in a pit unless you are a local. Everybody except for the locals are at a huge...

“End of American Dream”, yeah right! I came to this country with less than a grand and almost no English. Currently, in the top 5 percent of income bracket, and are moving higher at the ladder. Anyone who has brain and desire can really succeed in this great country. Anyone who says...

What exchange are they traded at? Something to think about for sure.

What happens if you had an open position before it went down?

When were the other 2?

yep, the last tick that i can see is at 9:04:40. Wow, would not expect something like this in this day and age. I thought that they have a fail over.

What's the rush for them? The big guys can currently trade on inner bank plarform, and small fish like us can wait.

Your best bet to find it is to try searching for the thread based on some key word from discussion if you remember it .

Very similar situation in Brooklyn. You can not get anythign decent with 200K income.

Isn't Taleb book a refreshing read. Makes you think in tons of different ways.

Hi Ranger64, I assume that with such tight stop losses you are getting in and out on trades multiple time during a day. You can not swing too may contracts a clip with such style, so do not need to worry about someone seeing your stops. You would be a very small fish. redduke
