I was half expecting to see a rather ubiquitous EliteTrader "hedge fund manager" but then realized it was about SUCCESSFULL hedge fund guys.

I am thinking about getting CME electronic or corporate membership for my index trading. I also trade treasuries on the CBOT. Do I have to get the membership there as well, or should I wait a bit with the assumption that one CME membership will cover this too?

they are not for the active traders. they are for the occasional futures trader.

If not mistaken, Lind has been a division on Man Financial (excuse me, MF Global) for a few years now, so the claim of largest probably has something to do with the parent company.

Based upon the above info, are we able to choose when we can reset? either right as NY closes or at around midnite? If that's the case, couldn't one just open 2 different US accounts with 2 different resets and just move the money back and forth?

A market maker is the counter party to all your trades. GFT, Oanda, fXCM, etc are all market makers/dealing desks. A MM will try to offset your trade with a counter trade from his system. This, obviously, is all done using computers. If you are buying a 100k lot of euro, they will find a...

Yeah, was looking at how it was fighting the trend all night and figured equities would help a little bit. Both trades stopped out at -30 pips. Doh! moment. I'll look for a rebound in equities to find a new entry. If I see equities turn positive, I'll be looking for a good size upside pop...

Gone long here on both AUD (8990) and NZD (7544). Both survived Thurs/Fri selloff in Asia and rebounded rather well. NZD looking to take out stops around 7560, and if they succeed, run up to 7600 at least. Only thing that may hold them back today is a down DJIA/SPX. (they seem to be tracking US...

News: Rhinebridge Commercial Paper SIV May Not Repay Debt (Update1) By Neil Unmack Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Rhinebridge Plc, the IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG structured investment vehicle that has lost about half its value, is unlikely to repay all its debt. Rhinebridge suffered a...

"prop trading" look in that thread forum.

Gone flat on kiwi at 7599, but still long aussie. Still don't have that new daily low so I think it will retrace some of today's losses overnight. Will be looking to see if it gets above todays high to signal a short term sell.

Gone long here at 8990. We are still in an uptrend channel - higher daily highs and higher daily lows. It would have to break below 8950 (where my stops are) to see any type of short term trend reversal. Targeting 9040. AS a hedge of sorts, also short the kiwi ay 7630 for a run to hourly...

Any of you elite traders ever turn on CNBC Europe (not CNBC World) during the trading hours to get a different perspective? It's the way CNBC USA should be, but different folks are running it here. 11am to noon, always on for the Europe close. Can't stand that CBS reject substituting for a...

Nothing technical as its just a news announcement. Saw the reaction Thurs when there were rumors. If anything, might be a short trip back to fib support levels of 23 and 38. Like to see it break below that (8950) for some real good profit taking, but don't know. Also, remember we have G8...

PM Howard calls for elections in November. Does this bode well near term for the aussie? Time for more than a little profit taking? Earlier this week when there were rumors of a date, it sold off down to 8950. Think this is already factored in or do we have a little short term sell here? Markets...

Took me a minute to get that. (when I shut down on Sat, I really shut down!) Thought you were one of his "fans".

Dude, just put him in your ignore list and hope that people stop quoting him. Soon enough he'll pretty much disappear. Poof! "Those that can, do. Those that can't, become teaches and write books."

Are you asking for such service per desk or to have at least one in the office? At 1900+ for Bloomberg and 1400+ for Reuters, a firm can't afford to put it on every desk unless the trader was willing to cover a significant part of, if not all of, the cost of having the terminals. Alot of pro...

It becomes sublet, offered out to all those "smaller" companies who were ignored by the brokers who wanted to close 50k+ spaces, like it did in 2001-2003 after the dot com implosion. Hopefully for those of us looking to get more/better space, prices will not be reflective of current market...
