I didn't find anything on cme.com. Is it me? It seems that open outcry contracts continue to be listed 'til august at least.

2 years after I got really implied in it ( first US futures account 2005 ) and 5 years after I started investing in stocks( buy and hold ). I've never blown up an account but definitely got lucky at the beginning... It really depends on what approach you have on trading in the first place...

Hello, In 2007, I saw that CME will probably close pork bellies pit. Someone told me here that the move from pit to full elec would probably happen in march 2008. It hasn't happened. Any updates on this? Do you know when it will happen? Thanks.

Blotter?

Sorry but I don't want to talk about the specific trades I do...However, there's one market were I often see arbs, almost everyday and I take only those that lasts more than 10 seconds( manually )... You're right about calendar spreads... It's really rare that it happens... I have done it about...

Like for example ZG ( gold CBOT ) and GC( gold COMEX ) ... Same tick value.... Same instrument... It's not available anymore since there are bots but I'm sure there were opportunities in early days of electronic GC... It 's a bad example since this one would never last 30 minutes for sure, but...

for real... illiquid new markets full of inefficiencies... But of course it's not the kind of trading you will live off... Just complementary

C'mon... Of course we cannot compete with the lightning fast programs you are talking about and make numerous arbs a day... I just wanted to state that there are some other kind of arbs that can be played by retail traders... I have seen pure arb opportunities lasting 30 mins... Sorry... Back to...

Yes there are... Me being one of them... Not the arb you are talking about but it is as pure arb as it can be... You must look at darker area of the market... really darker... It's not my main trading , but when the msgbox shows up, I'll take it... 1 time per day on average... free money....

Not that bad in the end, but I think it was pure luck( long only beginner mode + 2003 )...This is a typical way of trading for beginners... However, most people here don't really belong to your categories... There are quite a lot of professionals whose style of trading differ by length of...

"Scan for stocks the night before based on whatever criteria you look for. Have your stocks picked out before the market opens with set entry points such as "if stock ABC reaches x price I'm going to buy/short." 5 year flashback for me ...LOL

Thank you all for your answers... I do quite a lot of trades manually( 20 -40 a day ), plus autosystems' management and that's the reason I cannot really take time to have a real activity at the same time( an activity you can try to be good at...). Trading is the business and I must be...

Nice way to think at it...He is the loser in the end I have been intrigued by the number of supporters he has on the John Carter thread... Whatever....teachers, speakers...

Sh... Did you tried to invoke his liability for the excessive risks? I can't believe you gave that much money to this asshole... Just watching his face makes me puke...

No real blow up but I started trading futures in the end of 2005 with 3 automated systems working on 12K...After 3 months of trading, I was at 6,9K but let the system run because It was not where I was supposed to stop the system... Eventually, the 3 systems recovered the loss, but looking...

Hello, Should someone trading with IB and subscribed to ICE datas watch if he has 5 levels of depth for former NYBOT products( coffee, cocoa, cotton, sugar... )?I only get one level of depth for 2 weeks... I'm already in realtionship with IB to solve this problem, but I'm wondering if it's...

Thank you all... I will work on this... It's already finished... Psychology is for kids...

Hello, I' m now a profitable trader, living off trading, which faces serious boredom issues. My kind of trading cannot be automated and is really repetitive, but it must be done, of course... I'm the kind of guy who must be intellectually occupied all the time, instead of what I can go...

For people asking,I got filled at the last minute of the ag overnight session while I was thinking there was one hour left. Don't know if I will lose as a result. We will see but it doesn't look so bad( no gap). I have to setup some alarm for time change on my PC.

I just got caught... LOL:mad:
