Democrats are a bunch of c*cksuckers who spend like a ghetto kid who found a credit card. Meanwhile the Republicans, who are supposed to be the party of small government, care more about gay anal sex than about reducing the WARFARE /WELFARE STATE. I consider both parties to be traitors and...

Ghost of Cutten and Bone have credibility. For entertainment Jack Hershey is irreplaceable. My least favorite is emg, who is the only member I have on ignore. :]

ask the messiah, Barry Soetero; AKA the second worst president we've ever had (behind GWB)

anyone else short near 1413? ..hoping it holds until the jobs report.

Headline is misleading. *Retail traders* are responsible for their own Profit & Loss. Just like every other trader, and every person who puts money on the line. I wouldn't agree that anything is "killing" retail traders except their own lack of sound methodology and capital, not even HFT...

I recommend AGAINST using this firm. My associate, who is a successful trader had told me they've reneged on a clearing deal they had previously established, and jacked up rates. So minus one point for dishonesty. Also, I asked a rep there for more color on their segregation policy and...

I'd like to earnestly suggest to my fellow businessmen to join the Libertarian party. I grew up in a Democratic family, not necessarily leftist at all, just generally blue. The reason for this, I think, is that we, as a family are all generally tolerant, socially liberal (okay with gays...

Krugman is an imbecile and HYPOCRITE. I know for a fact he does not run his family budget in the same manner he advocates our Republic to run its budget. Krugman's philosophy for the country to get out of debt and become more prosperous is to borrow more money, led by the federal government...

*(final) bump*

Thanks, Com. They're not very well known yet, but I noticed Straits is the same size as Crossland, Cunningham and Dorman, and is now a full clearing member of NYMEX and COMEX (which they added in 2012), in addition to CME and CBOT. Should I do some clearing with them I'll post a review in...

*Bump* any word?

Has anyone used Straits for futures trading? They now clear CME CBOT NYMEX & COMEX, and offer T4 and X-Trader and a per R/T basis. Please reply or PM me. Thanks

Don't play roulette.

Futures trading is *almost* a zero-sum game. Because every participating actor must pay commissions, even if they are a member and pay much lower commissions, it is not a true zero-sum game. There is an inherent losing expectancy for everyone. I would make the analogy of a roulette wheel...

Good fluff for reading on the NYC subway down to Wall St. Ginger, the editor, writes nice articles but most the the 'tech analysis' is childish. STill, I'd rather be caught reaing futures than US Magazine.

CTS T4 is remarkable for execution, and is a great value. Offered through most clearing FCMs. You can get data and streaming charts for about $25 per month, added on. If you want something else, check out DTN Prophet X. I've used them before to chart spreads and find their software very...

Smart man - *charting* the spread between two futures contracts is the way to do it! Fundamentals don't mean nuthin' when a double bottom is approaching! ...used to do this on Brent MINUS WTI; and Wheat MINUS corn. Cheers, Chi

The order book is worthless. 500-lot spoofs appear nowadays in both crude and natural gas. Hourly and Daily charts are the best source of information, in my view.

"AMP Clearing" = NON-Clearing FCM. Might have named it "AMP Retail"

Who is your broker, OP? Did you check Time & Sales?
