that looks like smoke and mirrors. we all know citi is struggling to get liquidity for their own ops, so how come all of the sudden they're able to become a lender of last resort to wb? in my opinion, citi might setting the stage for offering itself to be acquired, maybe by wfc as well. the...

--------------------------------------- citi tries to defend its honor. will they get anything other than delaying wells fargo bid? i dont think so. wfc deal is more solid, it doesnt involve the fdic and is obviously prefered better for wb shareholders. on top of this, citi is sunken in a abyss...

yes you are. taking you to 30% bankroll (a 70% loss) will need 120 trades. 50% loss = ~70 trades 70% loss = ~120 trades

here's my 2c dont scalp the es. most algos there are pretty efficient and barely scratch a profit due to competition. imagine how difficult it is for the rest of the crowd. set up a directional system based on a very simple criteria, say sma, with 1 hour bars or so. trade this just in one...

i am spanish and work very frequently with structured products as those you've mentioned. your father should have signed a binding subscription doc where the terms and conditions were set. it looks like your father has signed the subscription of the products based solely on his verbal...

Can you provide any names of firms that you are aware of acting as an umbrella in the UK and/or elsewhere, ie offshore for professional traders interested in managing opm? Does this usually involve conducting the business through them, ie brokering, clearing, administration, etc? Thanks

he sold 50 lots front month 1150p @1.25 and now is trading @4.45. the pseudo hedging taking place with 3 lots fut is just a way to magnify the risk while reducing overall expectancy, imho. obviously that resorting to this type of technique immediately after the initial short gamma position...

bad news is you cant do anything. but good news is that, most likely, no one will want to steal it from you, as there are, literally, thousands of good systems out there and yours is just one more (assuming yours is good). in most cases, these firms want to test your system in advance not...

actually a zaha hadid table is a timeless design piece that transcends objective valuation criteria due to its uniqueness and intrinsic value, while your so-called "systems" are inherently worthless and cannot rightfully marketed as well, as you dont have any intellectual property rights over...
