Back from the grave :cool:
Are there any decent remote prop trading firms still left (considering that its 2012)?
I am looking for:
1) 20:1 leverage.
2) Low initial deposit (2-3k for 40-60k intraday BP).
3) The ability to trade part-time. I can do this since I live in AZ.
4) The...
I usually trade /ES, /NQ, /6E, /CL, /ZN (I loved this during last summer/fall), and eur/usd. Now with the vix at the lows I have been primairly trading eur/usd and have been laughing my ass off selling spy credit spreads :) .
I'm finding that this is true for ATM or ITM options but it still can get tricky getting out of your position the further OTM you go after rth (zero bid :( )
I'm looking into swing trading ES, CL, and ZN futures. This is appealing to me since they trade roundclock and the margin is lower. They are very liquid during RTH as well. I understand that this is a hedge market but I will be using this to made directional trades. I will be long the options (I...
Quick question Schizo (or anyone who might know the answer), is QT compatible with thinkorswim or will I need to find another datafeed? I would love to look at some volume & range charts. Thanks.
LOL.
This is not what it seems. Debt forgiveness is counted as income and it is taxed accordingly :p . Most likely these guys are writing off their losses & sticking YOU the taxpayer with the bill.
I agree with most of your points. IMO the decline in tax revenue is the main reason why the fed pursued the QE policy (Bernacke probably realized this through his FedWire reports).
I find it interesting you are shorting the dollar (I'm actually on the other side of the trade). Just curious...
I guess this is what Fed buying will look like :D

I personally think they wont do it (IMO most likely crash the ES or YM to get the desired outcome) or else they will be left as the only buyer. I'm pretty sure you know how this will end if this happened. This is what keeps me from holding TBT very long.
Bernacke has been doing a good job...
Hehehehehehe!
I also thought it was odd that it only took 3B to move rates down 50BP.
Did you also notice the dive in the DX prior to this? When I saw the 50BP drop I knew a Fed POMO was around the corner. I think the big players actually purchased the agencies knowing damn well that the...
