my 2 cents; if you're going to play in euros then you should probably have the cash market up at all times (preferably CTD and OTRs) so you can actively follow the TED spreads. Burghardt's book will tell you how to do this. While you might not have the financial resources to trade TEDS...

the pre-open is still quite useful; alot of quant traders use the pre-open to game the open because towards the end of the pre-open session orders become locked in and can be gamed off the open in either the implied spread market or other outright markets. The pre-open is less useful as the...

catch the u/z corn move earlier? pretty nice puke into the market.

it's hard to say but I am also watching the new swaps to see if they pick up too....neither is looking that interesting yet.

you're welcome.....

and I fully agree....start as conservative as possible, get training that you don't pay for from some rip-off firm, and get a mentor to help you. PM/email me if you get started in fixed income and have questions.

More liquidity in the fixed income than other markets look at open interest as a good proxy..... Get used to looking at the EUREX and LIFFE exchanges. Its a late night but pays well. There is enough action in the outrights for decent scalping and you can spread it off (into months or areas...

well if you are interested in learning more on quant trading....pick up a wilmott or preferably Taleb's dynamic hedging book and start reading....fixed income or energies is the more likely source of employment for quant trading as equities groups are already swollen and still cutting back.

TraderTX, I don't think we can use the words exactly on that one.....hard to think about refining utilization of bean processing.....:D

they must be substitutable to be fungible. If you are long for instance ICE WTI crude contract and short NYMEX WTI Crude for 2 cents of edge until settlement you get 2 cents/bbl on cash and must deliver 1,000 barrels of crude per contract plus FOB at Cushing, OK. You HAVE a position...

Bloomberg???

foreign fixed income such as euribor or short sterling.....you probably need a mentor and alot of time in practice before you start.

You can't deliver heavily tainted crops into CBOT/KE/MWE contracts.....4 parts per mil vomitoxin. So the supply of good crop remaining would be under heavier demand causing price action to be bullish, right? Reference to CBOT deliverable grade...

Good question, I am also interested in knowing as well. I haven't heard much of them as a local firm.

:confused: These tests are not meant to be tricky but to assess your ability to handle stress, perform basic/essential mathematics, and have some logic. If you were to tell us or any other firm to take the test and do that; I doubt the job would be given offered. Additionally, we do...

Its pretty common and we screen our candidates in the same manner. Good luck!

just checking; it sounded Bright may have been confused.
