This Ray guy was a big local in Euro's?? I don't think I've heard of him, which is odd, but we def. must know people from the same circles, does he still trade?

I'm kidding, btw.

How big do yov trade in the eurodollars? as in what size? I trade the spreads too. Lets do this. Go in the chat room during the day and tell me what spreads you'd like to get off and I'll make a market against you. I only scalp for a half tick and you hold for longer than that so we won't...

If I wold try stocks it woldn't be for a few years ...more capital isn't a problem, the most important thing if i wold do this, i suppose, wold be being able to trade remotely withot a license. I appologize i just broke my keyboard.

Well I mean the guy is wildly successful besides this trade, obviously. He made millions before. So he's in that league...beyond myself and probably all (or nearly all) of the posters on this board. The question of whether he's in the league of Lampert, Sorros, PTJ, etc is what I was...

Oh yeah, here's the other parameter, I don't have any licenses. Basically to get a deal I'd rely on my expirience and my capital, to sum it up.

I've traded futs for maybe 2 years now, backed by a bigger trader. I live away from my home, however. I'm thrilled with my deal and want it to continue for another few years, but am curious as to how difficult it would be for someone like me, hypothetically, to get backed by a good prop...

IMO....the guy has some great attributes of a trader...aggressive...willing to make a huge bet when he believes the risk/reward is right (however he figured that out...stating in the article the trade had "huge upside and no downside")..thats probably the most important. However whether...

ya just gotta figure out something that works for you, just like everything else in this business.

Look scalping isn't 'buying the bid selling the offer' thats not consistently possible w/ the algorithms orders are filled, ect. Scalping, now more than ever, is really taking out a price level, or more often even, a specific order, that is mispriced. Example: ES is 1485.0 bid ...

This story has been confirmed by the guys that stake me and a few others I knew from the pit. A few years ago during one of the fed rate decisions, the I.R. fut's market of course went nuts (this is the I.R. futs at the merc). One broker on one side of the pit is yelling , " 6 bid on...

I give myself an allowance and cut a check for that amount every two weeks (bills/spending money). Whats left in my acct has to be enough for taxes (should be plenty after that as well if my budget is tight). I keep a 2g cushion always. Whats there at the end up the year less taxes is mine...

- $800 and some change. Sweet. Second month in a row to start w/ a down day. I hate begining a month or week on the wrong foot.

i have a direct line, but its to the merc. I just want something that won't make me wait an hour after the open to see where my stock is trading. MSN sounds like it might be ok, thanks.

finance.yahoo.com and nyse.com both are slow to show real quotes during the open....anybody have a site that gives ok quotes?

Anybody else get long?

thanks. worried me yesterday when spoos rallied and LXK broke but i don't know hopefully a shake out we'll see. Selling if it goes offered below yesterday s lows....if the year end rally comes through in equities i'll start scaling out above 37. But what do i know i hustle ED spreads so...

my laptop is totally screwed up...whats the market in LXK anyone. I'm long from 35.51 first equity trade in 3 years, lol.

The curve seems to be inverting around u8 most of the time so if you just wanna get long, anything from z7 (front month) to u8 will do. The nearer the expiration the less volitile, but usually more liquid...so farther back is more risk if your wrong but a bigger winner if your right. However...
