GDP price index 4%, expected 3%, so that's crap growth and high inflation. Inflation takes precedence = hikes and stagflation Mind you the market does seem to have an insatiable appetite for the upside. I just look on in amazement...

None taken - was pulling my hair out over bund price action yesterday too

:D I thought that post would cheer you up! I've known about apama for a while. I still think you just need to adapt though - nothing wrong with positioning outrights, oh and shipping in some of your own box trading. You don't need to know C++ to use this type of system it's designed for...

I think our challenge could be created by Apama software. http://www.progress.com/apama/apama_algo/index.ssp Courtesy of one Dr John Bates. Apama was founded towards the end of 1999 by two alumni of Cambridge University, who had collaborated in the university's computer lab for the best part...

Not sure about number 12 - the market is always right, it might get there in the end but by no means it always right at any one time otherwise fading "wrong" moves would never be profitable. For example if a piece of news comes out to move the market and it is then denied but you are one of the...

Well the rebate is only on contracts traded over those boundaries rather than setting all preceeded lots to the new low cost. The firm keep their fee per lot structure as normal and the exchange base cut is passed on in full I believe but again only on the volumes over those levels. You're...

Refco Trading Services doesn't exist anymore, didn't Man shut all the US operations in prop? The remaining prop outfit in Europe was bought by Marathon Asset Management who kept only the Gibraltar and London prop offices (the one in your picture) open and it's now called Marex Trading...

I'm not a high volume trader (few thousand a day) as i trade outrights but in this case the percentage volume you do for the company is then weighted on whatever rebate they receive. Own account traders do not participate in this rebate as they are not technically classified as prop, it's only...

We just got this new extra rebate from February volume paid last week, the big prop houses do enough volume (~6mil/month on eurex) to qualify as well as the machines. If you're a high volume spreader, you might consider moving to an outfit that hits these volumes if you don't get the new rebate...

Dubai Runs Out of Office Space as Economic Boom Draws Companies By Sean Cronin April 6 (Bloomberg) -- Dubai, the Middle East's fastest- growing city, is running out of office space, according to the commercial property broker CB Richard Ellis Group Inc. Nicholas Maclean, managing...

I concur with what you replied and yes I agree about the level playing field aspect too, I only mentioned whining because this thread was beginning to look like a Grumpy Old Men episode! I have never spreaded so could only pick up from your descriptions.

Well I just had my best quarter in 5 years. Quit whining and adapt your trading style. I have more faith in you than you do! Quit trading tactics that used to work and find a some new ones. The game changes every few weeks, you learn the rules and exploit it until some nerd rewrites the system...

The sell off in oil yesterday was probably him getting short:D

Certainly

I agree manual spreading is on its way out against the machines but this is hardly a new shock forecast. Still plenty of good moves in the outrights. With the likes of Goldmans flagship hedge fund hosing cash there's still money on the floor to pick up for an outright trader...
