Frankly, I like FXCM's "FXCM TRADING STATION" platform. I've heard so many awful things about MT4, that I've stayed away. Of course, our strategies are non-algorithmic and fairly simply by way of execution. If yours are as well, I would give it a go. They allow you to sim trade the...

Sounds like it's become a tough game for the "trend-following herd." There's always a place for shorter-term Support/Resistance trading, in my view. Great article - thanks for posting. -Chi

One day Barry talks about a 'military option' in dealing with one of largest crude oil exporters in the world, the one country which could kill the passage of 20mm bbd through the Strait of Hormuz; And the next day this same man talks about evil oil speculators driving up the price. Why...

CTS's T4 platform works well for trading multiple accounts pursuant to the same program. I would personally not want to be responsible for "allocating fills." Rather, I let the trading interface do it. Dorman is a good FCM which offers T4; RJO offers it too, I believe. -Chi

NOBODY. Except the guys who are actually making money. :D

Maybe they should rein in that nut, Netanyahoo and the craven Neocons who never sacrifice themselves, but send others to march & die for their ambitions.

+1 Invest in a few ex-wives. LOL actually, if this is a serious post, you should buy some precious metals, keep some in savings, light exposure to commodities, and put 20% in Managed Futures with risk-averse CTAs. GL

LOL compare 300k per day, to 17mm bbl per day!!!

Dude, what was that? $3.00 in 10-minutes?

That stupid b*tch, Edith O Brien has been SUBPOENA BY CONGRESS, and will testify on March 28th, as I understand it. Also, that absolute WH*RE Laurie Ferber, the general counsel will be subpoenaed two. These witches better spill the beans! GET YOUR POPCORN READY!

how do you easily short the SPY? DO YOU NEED 'PERMISSION' FIRST? LOL ES IS FOR PROS. :cool:

OP - 20% of fees earned is a fair amount to pay a broker/allocator, as compensation for new business. I believe this was your question.

Proprietary results are taken with a grain of salt, I.e. they're nearly WORTHLESS in gathering AUM. Why? Because unlike discretionary accounts, where you are managing another person/entity's money with POA, you are NOT required to report *all* of your proprietary activity. I.E., you...

Have any of you tried moving moderate size ($2mm to $10mm) per ticket with FXCM? Any reviews would be appreciated. Thanks, Chi

Note that it's the "Persian" gulf. We have no right to threaten to attack preemptively another sovereign nation, no matter how much we disagree with their leaders. The "Israel-Iran" premium is at least $20 in WTI.

Those crazy Israelis who think they have a chance at successfully attacking OPEC's #2 Crude Oil producer, after warning them of a so-called "preemptive attack" that would depend on surprise, necessarily. STUPIDEST. PLAN. EVER.

IB is dogshit for futures. It's useful if you're trading in equities & bonds as well. Good luck with trade support. VELOCITY is a great company for price-sensitve customers who want charts/ good front-end. Other than Velocity, I've always liked Dorman Trading & RJO.

IT looked like some algo was trying to 'bang the close', or perhaps realized that crude would close above 100.00 for the first time in many sessions, so placed a massive buy market order. . . Bloomberg shows a 101.00 print before they shut it down. turns out to be a busted trade. High as...

This has always scared me about approaching any futures prop firms. They'd love to steal your idea, program it into an algorithm and leave you useless to them. If you have good techniques & methods, better to raise private capital. Just my opinion.
