If you trade futures you might look into the T4 platform offered by Dorman. Your broker can set up daily loss limits, as defined by a hard dollar amount or percentage of assets. It's a neat feature. PM me if you need more info. There are also some reviews on this site. If you trade...

Thanks for the post, brother. Well, you're partly correct. In truth, my "system" is fairly robust and based on simple support/resistance levels on both the daily chart and hourly chart. However, execution is the problem because I have to sleep, eat, and I'm missing many trades... For...

So I'm looking into TRADELINK, which seems like a good place to start. I can write in C#, which is the most popular programming language? Any other feedback is appreciated. *BUMP*:D :D

Hey everyone, So I run a CTA which has mostly systematic elements, i.e. my stop size, my profit target, and my set-ups are almost 100% pattern recognition (e.g., inverted head & shoulders, etc.). Right now I'm looking to become AUTOMATED and am willing to learn what's necessary to do so...

I walked from my downtown apt to CBOT this morning. LaSalle is completely dead..there aren't even cars on it. I think it's gorgeous, but I dont' have to dig out my car. :D

Gery CHICO is winning this one, folks. Ultimately, the Illinois Supreme Court will uphold the appellate court's ruling and it'll come down to: Gery Chico and Carol Mosely Braun You can guess which the business community and middle class will vote for ;)

Correct. Dooley traded his own account (carried by MF) through in-house broker software, for which risk controls were purposefully disabled. Because MF Global was the clearing firm carrying the account, they were responsible for their deficit. I'm honestly not sure what the guy was...

Market Wizads I and II are among my favorites. I also recommend "Think & Grow Rich," though it has nothing to do with the mechanics of trading.

Sign up FOR FREE at either: IASG.com or ManagedFutures.com Both are excellent, free databases to browse CTAs. Naturally, I recommend a CTA's managed program over a "futures fund" because with a CTA your account is INDIVIDUALLY SEGREGATED, which some people really...

Dorman Trading and Advantage Trading are two of the better FCMs for serious futures traders. IMHO, you'll receive more personalized service from Dorman. Both are located at CBOT, on the same floor. Hope this helps. PM me if you need a contact. :D

BIDASK, We calculate returns based on the account's NOTIONAL ACCOUNT SIZE. So if the full account size is considered to be $100,000 and the investor eventually withdraws $10,000; or funds initially with $90,000 cash (plus $10,000 "notional funds"), and the net profit is $10,000 for the...

DTN Prophet X is terrific for futures trading. Very aesthetically pleasing charts and good reliability. It may cost you between $300 and $500 per month, depending on discounts, subscriptions, etc. I've been using it for over three years. And if you're Rambo, you can use a 5-min. chart, a...

"Rodney King" - the proverbial ET asshole. (failed trader) Still at it. OP - good luck w/ your position. Check out a continuous chart of the Mini DJIA. It's lagging both the spoos and nazzle. When it makes its double top, perhaps we'll see the pullback you need. Good luck...

Hello Traders, I own an active Delaware L.P. (Limited Partnership) which I have never used for trading or any other business purpose, and would like to dispense with. Originally, I intended to sell it, but time is of the essence, so I am willing to part with it for FREE. Yes, this is a...

If this was written by Ziad A. from NYC, I know him, he's a good guy, and a good investor from what I hear. I would agree with Arthur. There are some basic set-ups (that DO NOT involved any indicators) that are fairly reliable and based on pattern recognition, i.e. mass psychology...

Hope you're correct in your trade. I like $81.80 support area for Friday, Monday.

I think you gentlemen missed the point, and am surprised you didn't just pass over this post. For somebody who wants a **LIMITED PARTNERSHIP**, it costs money to create one. A typical fee might be around $350, which is what I originally paid. Understand this is a separate ENTITY that can...

*BUMP* (Pardon the Interruption)

Exchanges raise margins in response to either increased VOLATILITY or increased CONTRACT VALUE. I think it's obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that CME Group raised margin on metals because it protects the exchange. $2.00 high-to-low swings in silver is, after all, a $10,000...
