This brings up a question I have been wondering - Not to long ago one would easily see 2000 to 5000 deep at each level on the 10yr now on a good day we see a few hundred. Where did all the players go? Did they move to other interest rates elsewhere? i.e. the bund? Did they quit trading...

To this and previous posters: Do you understand what he is trying to achieve? Whether you feel it is reckless or dumb trading or whatever, it seems to be his style. Just let the guy trade the way he chooses, not what you would do. Why is his way wrong and your way right? He would never...

Very interesting in the interest rates - don't ever remember seeing all zeros. Thanks again. Chris

Sorry, no blotter but a big atta boy.... I just want to say thanks for this. This is how it is supposed to work, not a government program. Chris

Minor diversion... This quote is one of the most revealing of the general attitude here on ET. Positive and you are fudging it; losing and then you are being honest. Bet if he had been on track at over 200k at this point he would still be fudging it. We now return you to your regularly...

With quotes like the one above you will find your statement a little out of place. There can be and are some very insightfull and helpfull people here, but the likes of the above ALMOST make it not worth the time here. If you wish to learn keep looking for that mentor and be prepared to pay...

Yes, you did miss something, you ASSUMED something not stated or implied.... Why, I ask again, is it always ASSUMED that these types of returns are compounded? Why can one not just trade a 100K account and sweep once a week or month or whatever? Get over it alreadty.

Seems a sad fate when this is the truth to life in general.

This coming form one who is trying to do 2% a day. You gotta know that at 5K to 250K is roughly 2% a day (give or take). So why can you, but not the OP here? Gotta love the double standards. You just lost some validity in my book, regardless of self promotion or not.

It's rollover time, go to June.

This is just so tempting - but I will refrain!!

1) No it is not - it is whatever money they want to print and place into use. They do not collect income taxes - they print and lend and collect interest on that. They are not part of the government. 2) Pretty pathetic - we will get to a point where they cannot protect and it will be much...

Is estimated at 1.2 billion. Sunday they were talking 18+ a share. Somebody not doing something right.

The 10yr has much more volume and open interest than either the 30 or the 5. Not sure how the 5 is doing since its tick was cut in half also. I don't arb so I can't really speak to that. Unless people quit trading the US interest rates the volume will most likely remain in the 10 yr. I...

Go back and look backwards in history - check volume before the 30 yr was discontinued, then look at volume while it was dicontinued, then look at volume when it was re-institued and now look at volume with the initiation of 1/64 ticks. They done ruined it!!

Here is an exercise in developing your own thought processes - What do you think? Do you see any positive corelation? any negative corelation? Not trying to be a jerk here - but the idea is to see what you can develop from this. That is the same answer I would give my kids - teach them to...

Its called Wall Street Warriors - perhaps to imply a focus on the traders, not really trading, but the people of the proffesion, and what they do and do not due with that which they earn.

Are you done based on a profit target? OR? If so just curious as to why you would cut your winning day short? If not then "never mind!"

neke, I enjoy your thread also - just have to disagree here - it is no more absurd than your taking 105k to 1.2mill in a year; both equate to roughly 2% per day from the start, perhaps easier on the smaller scale.
