i think they'll announce withdrawal from the EUR during this weekend.

i second that, i will post what a i heard from a deutsche bank fund manager that overlooked one of their long/short equity strategies that had an impressive track record during 10 years (in which i had money), while all the sudden began run south by the time LEH event took place and never...

under the present monetary paradigm, currency devaluation is what drives economy growth and competitive advantage in the context of global trade, e.g. china monetary policy is the last 10 years has lead to favorable imbalances in global trade. i doubt that the "artificially high purchasing power...

in my view, independent traders are also part of system D, maybe not on fiscal basis but rather in the mindset behind their ultimate career move. i don't know whether that article has some basis or not when it comes to the numbers presented and projections for the future but if we look at the...

the stupidfication of the masses is appalling. but unfortunately for the us, traders, it will not have the same effect on the market behavior. in fact, going forward, beating the market will be increasingly difficult, as humans will be pushed away by the speed, intelligence and efficacy of...

most of the merkel/sarkozy political moves, as of late, have to do with their internal election aspirations. the "occupy whatever" movements have had a huge political impact in EU and the main countries have been very active outlining a socially conscious agenda in order to gain approval from...

My algo has a substantial track record and I want to talk with a firm interested in scaling it up based on a profit split agreement. The algo trades Eurex DAX combos (FDAX + ODAX) and there's evidence of being capable of handling a size up to 1000 units per trade. risk to return efficiency...

so you think FDAX volume will be exempt after the FTT is put in place?

the irresponsible and incompetent leaders at EU keep peddling the tobin tax agenda and today sarkozy and merkel met and said they plan to proceed with it as soon as march this year. it looks like they want to increase unemployment and worsen the debt crisis in the region. according to my...

so you wanted to rob someone than got robbed in the process and now whine about it?

as part of the agreement they'll invest an additional €8B and will finance the portuguese economy and commercial banks. It appears that Portugal has become the trojan horse for the chinese economic domination program in europe. the portuguese government rejected a bid from E.On the german...

i am still waiting to see evidence of wrong doing. some on this board might be upset because they lost money others because they want to join the pathetic bandwagon of obama friends are corrupt but none has yet pointed out where MF hasn't been playing by the rules. the rules are poorly...

wtf are you talking about? clients are getting their fair share of the settlement. too bad they lost money but that's risk of doing business with a third party, either a broker, bank or government. you can have a ton dollar bills under your mattress and then one day there is fire and all...

the money they lose is someone else's gain. someone just wins !

apparently everyone is doing it. there is nowhere to hide, either you quit the business or you live by the sword with them. i don't know if you are aware but nowadays, in europe, the big cash cow companies are moving their deposits to the ECB because they don't trust any of the prime...

unfortunately, this is how the whole industry operates and to some extent it is the reflection of a fiduciary based currency economy, where money is created out of thin air. the last couple of years, some truths have became quite striking re the financial industry: 1. money could be seized...

sorry to bring up lousy news. i think you'll soon find out about the law of large numbers. your style of trading doesn't have any edge. you are just experiencing a winning streak and sooner or later the market will teach you a painful lesson.

the euro is too big to fail. simply put, the world needs the euro and there is no way to let it go. too bad for the club med (southern) countries that have their sluggish economies pegged to a currency that is not suitable for their reality. it looks like these countries will eventually...

huh? thanksgiving in the US and europe taking a nap.

I am looking for a Prop in NY that might be interested in cutting a deal with me in which I bring my grey box and trade the firm's capital with it based on a profit share agreement. My strategy has a track record and is scalable up to $100M. It trades futures and options on the Eurex...
