At the beginning, I was thinking that guy was in "socgen" mode, basically taking every buyer and moving his size lower to liquidate .... but maybe he wanted to short everything he can, manipulate the thin overnight session to reach the limit and settle it there for the regular session...

Thanks a lot ... I had removed the 2 tiny account numbers but didn't see the big one in the middle of the book.

Limit down... Is it a good idea to short it before the ask grow in size?

The guy is going down with 245 lots in front of 1to 5 lots... LOL... There are about 20 lots to buy in the whole book... LOL Down even more.

Hello, I don't know who those guys are, but there is quite a huge battle on WK08 tonight. 2 institutions have been buying/selling to each other for 2 hours before the shorter/profit taker dumped real shitloads of WK08 showing 500/1000 lots... Impressive for the overnight session...

Nobody will calculate the number of hours... It would have been better to ask in months, years...

:D

ok thank you all. It seems that dell got your choice. I will go there.

Hello, I'm looking forward to bying a new computer. At the moment,I only have a laptop to trade. I don't know about trading dedicated hardware and need advises. I would like to buy a package with 2-3 screens, good RAM... that can last at least 2 years. Nothing really incredible but a...

Yes, On the P§L thread, Szeven made more than a million with like 10 losing days in the year, Dustin made more than 500K.. I'm sure guys like Nordik, MkSummny pull more than 500K as well... There is not just 2 guys doing it. But the simple fact that you cannot lose at a bank may be...

Trading has told me: - That it's not because you are working hard that you will succeed. Work is necessary but it's not enough. You can work your ass but if you're in the wrong way at the beginning, you will not make money -That you have to keep it simple. -That a healthy dose of...

I read Kerviel was short since march 2007 and switched to long during fall...What you were all seeing was Kerviel offseting his spring bet for the 500 M gain that " he didn't know how to make his direction aware of". Why am I always thinking that there's a rational, informed entity behind...

Please, give my fellow frenchman Jerome a break... Everybody knows a lot of good traders blow up at least once...Not a reason to take such a drastic decision... :D

Hello, I'm trying to figure out if / how you can access calendar spreads real -time datas through IB API. I've tried enter it as a BAG type in excel but I can't figure out how to define the legs... I also tried to enter it as it is displayed in TWS ( Calendar Spread: -(1) MAR 08 + (1)MAY...

No real horror story but when I started trading futures in 2005 and using TS automation, I was used to let it run on its own during the day while I was at work. I was using it for one week with a crappy over-optimized system when I forgot a holiday when ER2 was trading only 2 hours. The TS...

Just joking. Watch this: http://www.wat.tv/playlist/460247/video/816970/break-ultime-kit-kat-feat.html

Thanks too.

Thanks. In fact, I started this thread 'cause I thought sometimes there's a lot more than the final blotter of the trading day. Sometimes, at my humble level, 1K+ days are not that intense emotionally whereas some + 100$ after a deep negative day seems way cooler. Tuesday, I had a...

I think this guy would have seriously let his losses run to hell, because "the market would rebound sooner or later" in order to "make money for his bank" and his "hierarchy would not have said anything" because" it was in their interest to let him make money". Crazy.
