Wow, great to see that even after Surfs report thread has been moved to the garbage area, he can still pollute ET better than anyone else.
I think people need to realize that when arguing with Surf, you are arguing with a guy who has blown out trading a few times and never "got it". He's a...
Too funny.....Surf report is now in Chit chat, where it belongs, and the thread next to it is :
Untreatable Gonorrhea?
hilarious....Surf Report is finally in an area with threads of the same content........
Oh well.......I had Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley signed on to do the announcing. If you get down here summer/fall we should have some kind of get together at the Hard Rock Casino. Can drink, gamble, and talk about what would have been the fight of the century.
Dude I am there. I think it's a great idea with proceeds going to charity. Count me in. If you need any help with the planning don't hesitate to ask. This is a very good thing.
Do what I did when I got crushed on my first CL/CL trade. Newurld put me onto how to get money back.
Sell 1000 SP puts. Collect premium
Sell a 2nd tranche of 5000 Puts. Collect Premium.
Sell a 3rd tranche of 10000 Puts. Collect premium.
Take all premiums and wire to brokerage to cover losses.
I have been using Esignal for about 10 years now, for charting and studies only. I execute all futures trades through TT. To me Esignal and CQG are by far the best charting software companies out there. TO me it came down to familiarity and easiness of charting/studies, and I also have an...
I actually heard, from people in the know, that the CL/CL is a commission free trade. No commissions will be charged by any broker. It's apparently a deal that the NYMEX and NYSE came up with back in the 70's during the great toothpaste shortage. The NYSE (where CL traded) cut a deal with...
Thanks for the clarity. I sold a bunch of gold futures earlier today. I did not own them prior to the sale. So I am sitting on a large amount of cash. I wasnt sure if I could just go out and spend the money. Now I know I must buy the contracts back and then go and sell a ton of puts instead. I...
I cannot comment where this idea came from Visaria. I believe it was first used by farmers who claimed they were hedging back in the late 1800's. Crop reports were released at town hall meetings after hours so the trade was much more complicated. But that's all I can tell you without fearing...
I have been working with my team of quants on another strategy. But I want feedback from you guys. I want to be able to go back and buy a futures contract that expired. Let's say Mar YM from 2007. Then sell it using today's mar ym price. Now.......... Obviously you can't buy mar ym and sell...
There is a trade in the Ag Futures which can be done on a monthly basis. Crop report days. It is called the Triple Threat Hour of Power Trade. The trade must be entered between 5:00 and 6:00 am edt. CME servers will not accept any trades outside of this hour. You just enter a quantity. Not a...
Yet another great call by Surf....
The big trend funds are quickly fading from relevance. Another nail in the coffin of the trend following tribe--Surf

Surf who's side are you on in this battle. Your boy Sykes vs your god Shkrelli. We know you basically felate both, so which one gets seniority when being felated ? Vegas has Sykes as a favorite because Shkrelli really doesnt have much money...
