Take a look at this link. It should provide with what you needed. http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/crude-oil/light-sweet-crude_product_calendar_options.html

haha.. rod in his hands... anyway.. sorry. Monday morning here, and I needed to entertain myself with these gutter thinking. I agree with patience. I think trading is like playing blackjack. (I know I will get beat up on this comment). My reasoning is that someone, some firm out...

Did you get any updates from the exchange? My first initial guess was that this is an issue with platform. I would be very suprised to find exchange specific rule(s) for not allowing you to provide liquidity. Also, it doesn't make sense from a business practice since a prop trade...

Unless they cross the order and report the fill as an OTC.

Are you directing the trades yourself? If so, not sure why you even care. The may have a prop shop that is trading. So orders, orders, orders... coming through their prop desk. and here comes your tiny little order. and it just happens that your counter party is your broker. Do you...

Don't trade through work assests if you are at a fin company. It is not worth it. I work in risk management and compliance. We track everything! If you want to trade, you should get clearance and then trade through your personal laptop or something.

I would take another look at what your draw down potential is and capitalize the account appropriately.

1) Define what you mean be "low commision". Typically cheap means no high resolution historical - I think "high resolution" historical means tick by tick data? Typically that stuff cost $$$. 2) I don't know any broker that allows you to trade less than exchange margin requirement for CL...

not sure.. but that big gap up at 600 will need to get filled eventually. I think Google got its challenges - the biggest from Facebook and other social media companies. I don't know anyone goes to Google for find what's a good place to eat around you. People use Yelp, UrbanSpoon, or...

Didn't you have a stop loss? Did it not execute?

> Bolimomo Nice find! haha...

Not sure what the underlying business reason for Linux is in your case. But in general Linux is used in props so the kernel can be configured to the way they want to, i.e. interrupt handlings, etc. If you are not high freq and low latency (in the sense that 10us matters to you) AND you are...

18 contracts with 25k is suicidal, especially you are doing that in a single trade. I have used a 25k account but traded conservative with 1 contract/trade. Profits are there due to the volatility in CL, but you have to know when to get out since your account size doesn't give you alot of room...

Once you find that entry, this is not an unreasonable bracket for CL. What's your max draw down?

any particular reason or just a gut feel? Market was bad yesterday. No news on a bad day is bad day. Almost any news on a bad day can switch the trend. Just curious what made you feel (gut feel or quantitatively) that yesterday was a bad day.

haha.. Are you sure you are not a start up recruiting agency!?

you have got to be kidding me if you think this is a strategy! This is OK if you have a entry and exit criteria based on market events or other information. Just saying my strategy is limit at 3 ticks and stop at 8 ticks on CL is efn stupid. Sorry. But it is.

Newbie question. Why is GLD down today when the spot gold shot up?

well... I am not sure about "requote". But maybe the market was volatile and they have pulled their existing quotes and are only quoting indictive quotes? not sure. You may google a bit on indictive quote in FX market, but essentially, it is not a firm quote or executable quote. Either...

This reminds me of one thing though. You may be getting a market price that you CANNOT execute. But this has absolutely NOTHING to do with volatility. FX is all relationship based. No clearing. So GAIN (don't know them... probably don't have enough $ to have prime relationship) is...
