Brah, like I said, you are a fucking waste of time. Now go look for that new firm.

Brah, the following shows me you are wasting everyone's time: "Hey treasury traders. I asked this question a while back. Got totally ignored and probabaly will again. I traders at an office of one of the biggest clearers in Chicago and nobody is making money. It's depressing. There are...

Brah, your post is hilarious. Point and clickers routinely bank ticks off inefficiencies. Still happens, just not with the same consistency. Algo's bring about efficient price flow, in which a point and click guy will not get the edge he/she may have had at one time or another. You can use a...

Abattia, I can only speak for myself and others I am in close contact with, and it primarily pertains to the US fixed income futures markets. I began to hear a lot of chatter, then notice some drastic changes in 2004, worsening in 2005, and an extremely noticeable difference in 2006. Fast...

See, I've had this same discussion with many people. In the end, one way or another...the majority think this is easier said than done. Widening the time frame means implementing several new nuances into play. Most of which are extremely painful to former short term traders who took both...

I would like an explanation as well, and not in the form of an excuse. Of course saying one product over another is completely subjective to interpretation, but having scalped products under both classifications, I simply can't agree with the advertisement.

Thank you for your input, MohdSalleh. This is along the lines of what I'm getting at. NoDoji, of course markets will fluctuate in the long term...I'm speaking of intra-day scalping with timeframes as short as less than one second. I touched on this when I said being long the bid or short the...

Removing any and all deemed inefficiencies in the electronic markets...specifically futures? Long bid/short offer, free look, edge, etc...have been wiped out by all accounts according to the majority of people I have recently spoken to who for the most part were incredibly profitable 5+ years...

These guys are still around and now have an office in Skokie, near Old Orchard Mall I believe. If somethin' don't seem right, it ain't. Just a heads up to stay away. My $.02

Rodney, you are correct. Although, you would be surprised by how many realtors have loads of "purchased" listings, aka initially telling a seller what they want to hear $ wise then hammering the price down when it's a stale listing and will no longer attract what are deemed solid offers. This...

This is generally a good rule...but of course there are major exceptions. In this market (Chicago) there are many an agent who have many a listing that they can't sell, and don't put forth 100% effort, necessarily, towards your listing...

This is an Elite Trader Forum, so should I assume you trade? Who is in it to make a quicker $??? A Trader or a RE Agent?

This entire week was ridic. I'm a high frequency guy and I think I did 10 round turns Tu-Fr. Can't pay the bills without volatility. Better trading next week, fellas.

I am your typical ignorant American soccer fan, so I ask you this...did England have a different goalie vs. Germany than the USA? If so, did he get benched after the USA game because of that bogus goal he gave up? I haven't followed the World Cup much at all, so I apologize ahead of time for...

This dude was in super size me, and I think I heard him or someone else mention that he eats two big macs a day like they said in the clip, but that's all he eats on an average day. Two big macs = roughly 1,100 calories...not much.

After many years of trading, I've come to the realization that I quite literally go through what is considered a traditional "grieving process" after a really bad day. 1. Denial and Shock - I skip past the denial, but the shock is definitely the first thing I experience after a really bad...

Here, do this routine for two months and get back to me... All exercises should be done with a weight that is challenging. You should be able to complete the first set without any help/spot. On the second set you should need a little help/spot. On the third set you should be barely able to...

Yeah does anyone know what happened to the SanDisk dudes? These guys were selling it hard right at it's tipping point. Hey if they're still around all their clients should be breaking even by now...yeah right, doubt it.

I am by no means a huge hockey fan, but I am from and still live in Chicago. I was listening to The Score (670am...local sports talk) yesterday and they said the Stanley Cup Odds would favor the 'Hawks in quite possibly the largest margin in the history of finals series. They compared it to...
