Yeah, I think it was real - and phoning brokers to put a position on for you is not anything suspicious or uncommon. The lack of TA that made it onto the show (as Emile said, there will be alot of unseen footage) is a fair representation of how much TA is used in institutional desks... ...

Furthermore... look at the death military death toll figures - The US lost no more than 3% - 4% at the absolute maximum... ... what do you think the other 95% were doing before you arrived? EDIT: 3 % - 4% of total allied military souls lost... civilians excluded.

True true... thanks for pointing out my (deliberate) mistake Emile: For the record, are you or are you not the Emile that appeared in the show? (if so, I would be interested to hear about your experience.... but this is the internet, and, you know).

I'm from the UK and so have been keeping up with the show.... The BBC are doing a series of programs based on the City because of current events. I havent seen all of the programs, but shows like "the city uncovered" aren't really anything to get excited about - most of the time it is the...

For the record, I'm from England, where we have a Nanny state, a Police state, and an incompetant government. And as you may know, the English have been fighting the French since... well since a few hundred centuries before Modern America existed. (cheap gag, apologies). But, when I'm...

If you display the Time and Sales in an MD_trader window, the trades are coloured red / blue to indicate whether the bid was hit or the offer lifted... anyone got any ideas how I can pull this into Excel? The LastQty RTD field isn't the same, and it is a pain in the ass identifying whether...

early closing

pricing models for Fixed Income. Swaps, floors, caps and caplets etc... even Credit derivatives. A bloomy is: Quick at getting you the news. Shit if you are into your TA ESSENTIAL of you are trading institutional FI. You can't trade without it.

impossible... the value of a bbg isn't only in the feeds; up until recently, the proprietery models were the models for any kind of FI product. Course they keep these to themselves. If Reuters can't keep up, then doubful anyone else can - though I spoke to a reuters guy recently and he said they...

you might find it easier to trade a term spread out to 2 years - the 13wk futures dont see much activity usually. there are a few ways to trade the TED, but basically you gotta trade the differences in yields between a 2 yr and an equivalent synthestic bond made up from 8 sequential STIRS...
