    Can Start Buying Natty Now

    here's hoping there aren't too many of you guys getting stubborn with these longs. Looks to me like it needs to shake out to 5.690 before the buyers come in

    crude inventories 9 year highs

    Great point of view if you get your news from Keith Olberman. In reality, the refinery squeeze comes not from capacity squeeze, but from a shortage of actual refineries. Our govt is so big and inefficient that we can't get another refinery built b/c of all the unnecessary regulation. Try...

    Insana running hedge fund?

    Absolutely no way he has $1 billion AUM for this fund with a 500k minimum. He'd be lucky to have 300MM to start with.

    any manhattan traders?

    Bear- Pardon the sarcasm, but Bennett is right. Nat gas futures are extremely volatile, and as such, any mistakes you make seem to be amplified. Still, all that volatility offers some great opportunities. I don't mean to imply that it's not worthwhile to trade them.

    Bennett- What do you use for energy news there? I'd like to have a resource with some info pertinent to the energy mkts, but I haven't found any.

    any manhattan traders?

    Mostly crude, with some nat gas when I'm really full of self-hatred. I'd say that I have a hold period for crude trades of about 10 min to a couple of hours, but as I get a little further down the road, I see the need to stretch it out, and be more selective. The technicals are good, so my...

    any manhattan traders?

    Bennett- Glad to have you aboard- I'm a former equity futures refugee who's moved to the energy complex. I'm trading out of Chicago, and I am using CQG for the charting and order entry. I saw that you were using TT for orders. If you aren't using any spreading features, or scalping, you may...

    How much does the Pit contribute to the ES

    ER- You do have a point about the unequal treatment, but one other thing to consider. There are actually 2 different classes of shares- The equity shares available to the public, and the B-Shares, which used to be the trading rights or seats. I'm not sure how this affects the CME's liability...

    How much does the Pit contribute to the ES

    This couldn't be any farther from the truth. No matter the size, the pit is merely along for the ride. The locals left there are merely trying to take advantage of any arb opportunities. They are NOT setting price in any way whatsoever. If you want to make a comparison, you could compare...

    Anything better than TT?

    I'm using CQG now. If you're merely placing orders (limits, stops, oco's ect) it is great. If you need speed, for scalping or quick order placement, this is probably not for you. It is, however very reliable. Also, the charting package is unmatched. It depends on what your priority is.

    Bloomberg TV link

    Does anyone have the link for viewing the web stream of Bloomberg TV? I'm looking for one other than the one on their website. I know that there is one, and with that one, you can maximize the window and fill the screen.

    Quad vs Dual Cards

    Could someone shed some light on this for me? I have a dual card, running 2 monitors right now. I would like to add a third monitor to that computer- What are the pros and cons of adding another dual card(I do have an available slot) vs. installing a quad card. I'm using this computer for...

    ALL US traders are missing out on CFDs because of your lovely government.

    Madrid, you're a fraud, nothing more. Who in their right mind would claim to have an advantage like yours and then invite the world in to exploit it. No one will ever confirm your 300% claim, and you know it. You're content to hide behind the anonymity of this forum. In fact, you're typical...
