    Emini trading: Virtual acct vs Real acct

    1) Are you trading off of a live market data feed or are you using a random price generator? :confused: 2) Are your limit orders ALWAYS at the end of the queue? :confused: 3) On a simulator, the "profit & losses" are "simulated". In a funded account, they are "very real". :cool: 4) Live/real...

    1) Funny! :p 2) You'll always get worse price fills in the pit considering that the locals are always bidding and offering 1 or 2 ticks away from the eMini qoute. :(

    1) Contests, without risk limits, encourage recklessness. Simulated trading is never the "same" as live trading. :( 2) Theoretically, if 100 additional (TST) traders all started live trading with 15-lots of outright, front-month, crude oil, all at the same time, the algos and commercial users...

    1) For the sake of really being annoying, you can set about to calculate the percentage of participants who finished above breakeven and also calculate and determine if the profits earned by the "profitable" traders exceeded the losses of the "losing" traders. :cool: 2) Those guys need the...

    Traders Accused in Oil-Price Plot

    1) It seems they were long "physical crude" and shorting 3 times as many barrels of CL futures, based on the respective P&L for each side of the trade. Their buying of physical supported the market in the short-term but then maybe they "oversold" the futures, as if front running their sales of...

    Trading idea (jpy with zb)

    1) These type of "spreads" should be thought of as separate outrights. :eek: 2) You could be a "champ" and make money on both legs, or, a "chump" who gets creamed on both sides of it. :cool:

    options with most leverage

    1) ? ..... I believe the name for that is "lambda", i.e. the percent change in the option premium compared to the percent change in the price of the underlying and maximizing it. :) 2) You would tend to want to have an opinion of what the underlying will do and then position yourself in those...

    Citadel founder Kenneth Griffin seeks to divorce wife

    1) ? .... you must be single. How do you really expect to meet anyone outside of "your line of work" when you're working long hours in your line of work? Atleast KG didn't marry one of his subordinates from his firm. :) 2) KG might be a "tool" ..... a MULTI-BILLION dollar tool ..... and still...

    For the sake of "intense accounting analysis", what do you think TST receives when a funded trader takes a distribution, whether at the 60%, 70% or 80% level, as a source of revenue? :confused:

    1) When can we see, for the sake of transparency and "fair play", copies of each year of your tax returns, with all attachments, since you were 16 years of age? :D 2) Please stop using multiple aliases. :mad:
