I was asked how to look out for games being played, here is one way One tip is watch out for "lucky" fills. If you join the back of a 2170 bid at a level in a down trend and you get filled when only 174 trade it shows that the guy with the 2000 lot has adjusted his order by one additional lot...

I mean 100 euros a day (10 ticks) on 1 lot clips or 1000 euros a day (100 ticks) on 10 lot clips. 1:3, ticks : roundtrips is acceptable. So 100 ticks for 300 roundtrips when clipping 10 lots per trade would give you a profit of around £545 after round trip costs minus maybe another £90...

That entirely depends on what's happening that day, a small profile day or a trending market. 10x size consistently is what most firms require you to achieve to get off of the simulator so it's a decent return. Good luck.

There's talk about this Schumer and Graham senators news confrence in 45mins that sanctions might be announced against China after a loss of patience with the currency moves. If this is announced what are your opinions for moves in the treasuries, stocks and currency? +15min It now...

I trade it outright intraday along with over 100 others in my office on a depth trader for a few ticks at a time, it's a great product to trade but you need to learn the intraday games played in there, which takes commitment. There are hundreds of guys at prop firms who day trade it and watch...

On the application: "As a trainee trader you will be paid a small salary for six months but once you are trained you are expected to earn your own income through trading. Some traders quickly earn enough to provide for their needs, others take longer. If necessary, are you prepared to go into...

Marex are recruiting.... http://jobs.bloomberg.efinancialcareers.com/job-4000000000150860.htm

Maybe it was something to do with presidents day pushing the data collection out of sync

Try Marex or Saxons they tend to recruit on a steady basis, you will be given theory training for a month or so and then put on the simulator until you're consistent. Due to the huge number of applications for these courses they can be quite picky on who they take. Otherwise stump up the cash to...

From energy bulletin.net "When in 1970-1971 foreigners demanded payment for their dollars in gold, The U.S. Government defaulted on its payment on August 15, 1971. While the popular spin told the story of “severing the link between the dollar and gold”, in reality the denial to pay back...

Well I'd rather be a trader than a civil servant (work for government). In the UK the civil service is massively over employed because it makes the employment figures look rosier. During our current government recruitment into the civil service has been rising sharply whilst those employed by...

My biggest fear is paranoid gun toting americans. Reminds me of the southparkesque cartoon in Bowling for Columbine. "I lurrve maa guuun" How'd you get your gun, was it free when you opened trading account? :D

No just sell yesterday's nonsense rally - oh look it dumped

Sounds good, still wondering how the 30yr issue affects it though

And why will it be more prominent in the tnote at the end of Feb when the 30yr is reintroduced? Every month I read it provides support to the bond market and every month I google the term for a decent explanation of what it actually is but never find one. Could somebody please explain...

Wait a few seconds before the announcement, put in a stop above and below market and fasten your seatbelt - better on 50/50 uncertain rate moves rather than statement analysis :D On a more practical note Fed watcher Beckner says look out for a change to "some further measured firming "may"...

I agree he's left the US in a very dangerous position. Bernanke is left with a time bomb and it's not his fault. Greenspan's cure for all the problems was cut rates to boost the economy through consumer spending. The average american family has more than $8000 of credit card debt, the savings...

DURABLE GOODS What's peoples' opinions on how Boeing will affect this number? The already strong 148 plane orders rose to 208 in December, boeing have only had >200 planes on order once since records began in '92. It carries a two sided risk as the strength may carry over into the jan...
