I’ve been posting to the P/L thread for a little while now and I am getting curious about the trading styles of some of the other posters. Obviously I’m not asking for people to reveal edges – just some very general comments. For example – I trade both futures and equities in US and...

Yup - I'm based in Europe (London) and that is the way my P/L is handled by the risk managers

Didn't get a chance to post yesterday but finished breakeven on the day - had to run out straight after the close. Today was the best day in a while. The strategy finally came out of its dry spell and hit a few nice winners. Net 1250 usd Nice trading again Nordik

<<yawn>> another snooze-fest. +310 usd net

Feeling like a broken record, but today was another slow day for the equities strat, to suitably round off a horribly slow week. The futures strat had a much more active day, but for all the wrong reasons :) Overall gross positive, net negative (down 120 usd). Happy to finish the week well...

of course - u just need a data vendor i use reuters and cqg. others use esignal and there are several other options. then it's just a DDE or active-x link into excel with the prices. u can also chart the spread - cqg is a good chart package for that

It's a bit better, but still well below my daily target - approx 600 usd net. Very slow week for my strategies. Damn Dinoman - nice trading.

For the 3rd day running, I find myself saying "at least it's green!". It's been a super-slow start to the week for the strategies. The equities strategy picked up only 1 trade which was a small loser. Then I screwed up and sent a few orders to market by accident which cost me a few dollars...

Hey gehko - Given your large number of fills last few days, I'm curious - how many stocks do you have on your list?

Another yawn-fest for my strategies. 2 trades, 2 small winners. Still, it's green again :) Here's hoping for busier times tomorrow. Sweet bounce-back in the p/l Nordik!

That's good to know - thanks

I hear ya Setting up with GS (execution and clearing) is my ticket to trade way more markets than I do right now. Redi is just the front end and, if it's gonna prove to be a real bottle-neck for me I have other options. Granted they involve somewhat more expense and I'd rather stick to Redi...

UK bank holiday - quiet day but at least it's green :)

Hi guys For a couple of reasons I am in the process of setting up to trade equities through GS using Redi. Right now I have a demo a/c with Redi set up and am toying with the API to try and get it doing what I want. I am hoping an experienced user might be able to put me at ease with a...

Yesterday was a European holiday and, with most of my markets shut, I stayed on the sidelines. Today, futures strategy came up trumps and recouped most of Wednesday's losses. For some reason the equities trades aren't showing on the blotter properly - that would add another 280. Gross +780...

A poor end to the month for me, ending my record daily win streak. The equities strat was fine, if quiet (+495 usd net) but my trial futures strat got blown apart, compounded by some really poor trading by me. Overall down approx 950 usd today. Happy with the month overall though - +11,900...

Futures strategy was a struggle today - finished with +130 eur there. The rest is equities. 849 eur gross, 643 net = 996 usd

Happy with today and the consistency of my recent run. Futures strategy is 220 eur of the gross, equities the rest. 694 eur gross, 647 net = 1,002 usd

errr... you know that Ireland and Italy are both in the EU right? So even your example markets don't count (you say non-EU in the question). That said, I have traded Italy, Ireland and almost every European market at some point. Many are reasonably accessible as the majority have...

Best day for a while. Not particularly high volume for me but a couple of trades came in really well. The new futs strat chipped in 200 eur of the total. 1343 eur gross, 1221 eur net = 1892 usd I’m off for a few beers. Have a good weekend guys
