how did institutions inadvertantly take out rotter? was it institution prop desks? did they know they were taking out a major player? i would have thought they loved him being there because at the time he was on the bids/offers for size and they could get trades done very easily without...

flipping a price from bid to offered (or vice versa) without actually trading any of it. e.g. bidding up a price to give the illusion of bid, then yanking your bid and offering the contract. this is now being done not just on the bid/offer, but on the prices adjacent to the...

interesting. like the name! don't want to start the whole "is flipping allowed" debate again...in my view if you've got the pockets...do what you want with bids/offers/order book. people will just have to adapt as we did when the shenanigans started in 04. i just wonder how long locals...

Is everyone who trades Eurex enjoying the new style of multi-price flipping now prevalent? 118.11 bid this morning, flipped 07 offered...small sell off, then grind back up to new highs. Is it Rotter and his team of mountain goats taking things to a new level...or something/someone else?

amazing...what struck me was the innocence of 2001. the first mention of terrorism was 35 minutes into the cnn coverage. different world today.

you say..."go a long way HERE"...are you still employed at ghco in london? if you are, how true are the earlier rumours/posts about ghco giving up prop trading in london? i find them very hard to believe...

what do you want to trade? equities? the only place that i know of in london that still offers a salary is goldenberg hehmeyer (ghco). but they deal mostly in fixed income futures and stock index futures. however...read previous threads concerning them because their percentage is very low...

no one here is crying about ghco...myself, iliad, and kamikaze were just reminiscing about the amount of people we know who have been dragged into legal action by gh. and the fun we used to have winding people up. i left on good terms...and look back on life at ghco in london as two of the best...

i'd forgotten those nicknames from the shatzman posts...they were truly inspired and damn funny! wasn't one of them something to do with lizards and their degree of slippery-ness?

i remember shatzman. they were funny days as the rumours as to who it was escalated. come on boblman - get your act together and defend the firm! give us some more amusement...

where are you now bsmeter?!?!?!?!?!

i love it when these ghco threads get re-opened. it really does help the trading session fly by. especially when you read the kind of things that bsmeter and artis74 like to post!!!!

none of the aforementioned firms have offices in NY. sorry.

you are brilliant bsmeter. i love you. or should i call you by your real name....mr.goldenberg!!!!!! this is ridiculous...i am not lying...i know the two guys very well...i saw the letter! not everyone's username conceals their identidy. perhaps these two guys were not the smartest tools...

Absolutely love it Iliad! Genius.

any other firm will give you at least a 75% split in london now....most more than that. brokerage will be cheaper as well at some other places. you will not get a salary though. the salary at ghco has now been capped at 50k - whereas before it was capped at 100k. other places in...

why don't you belive me? and why would i make it up? everybody knows how litigious ghco are. i am talking from first hand experience here. unfortunately the thread i am talking about from a couple of years ago has been deleted...suffice to say it was a pretty accurate description of...

just checked out your previous comments on this thread artis74.... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55618 you practically threatened someone there with legal action due to their "slanderous" comments. mr kamikaze had it right when he saw you off later in the...

you are absolutely 100% wrong. i cannot stress to you enough how wrong you are. i am speaking from experience. if you are a profitable trader, and you wish to leave, and you have signed a 4 or 5 year contract, you CANNOT leave. i cannot name names, or cases...but they are a highly litigious...

absolutely true about what you say regarding the fact they must be doing something right. it's amazing in fact, considering the competition in london for traders and the fact that industry standard is now 80% profit split. goldenberg and hehmeyer have been in the industry for years...and...
