I think it's a compelling idea, but why couldn't it just be a simple partnership? Basically, you're just sharing fixed overhead at cost and getting economies of scale for expenses. I would definitely be interested if someone had a coherent plan for putting one together here in the...

I'm not trying to be unkind, but all of your threads have the strong scent of desperation to them. You're clearly someone who has no clue and no edge, and you're grasping for a way to make money--somehow, anyhow--in the markets. What you should "increase now" is your study of the markets, your...

Hi. Today is expiration day for options on CL. Can someone please provide some insights about the price action on these days (e.g., commercials vs. speculators, etc.)? Whoever's fighting to get their 64 and 64.50 calls in the money are winning, but it's been a pretty good fight (plenty of...

All right, gang. Let's keep this thing moving forward. The city is apparently out. Can anyone suggest someplace interesting in or around Villanova? That should be equally accessible to the Montco and Delco crowd via the blue route. Sam, unfortunately, nothing is close to you; however I...

Although Bloomberg is pretty short (5' 7"), James Madison was the shortest US president at 5' 4".

Hi, Ron. Did you flip one too many there? Regards, William

ssss, apparently neither one of us is making any sense to the other and this conversation isn't really helping the OP with his/her original question, so I will be content to disagree with you. z32000, I'm sure you would be more than happy with either Interactive Brokers, Velocity Futures...

I know NinjaTrader specifically supports using the TT feed, but I'm not aware of any qualifications that go along with it. Go do a free trial. I use Ninja with a Zen-Fire feed, and it's great.

NinjaTrader with TT feed is good.

I think you might have misunderstood what trademaven told you. It's definitely true that some FCMs and introducing brokers also operate proprietary trading accounts. However, that activity and those accounts have nothing to do with any retail trading activity that goes through their firm...

As was mentioned on your other thread, there are no "specialists" in futures (i.e., those with a role similar to specialists on the NYSE). I believe futures are the most fair and transparent markets out there. Retail forex isn't very fair, and it's definitely not transparent.

Write down your trading plan in as much detail as possible, and then journal your trades to see how closely you are following your plan. Lack of hestitation in execution comes from a combination of 1) experience, and 2) understanding and trusting that your plan produces a positive expectancy...

You are incorrect. The OP is asking about exchange-traded e-mini contracts. Except for execution, clearing and platform fees, neither introducing brokers nor FCMs make or lose money when traders lose or win. This may be true of OTC forex where the introducing broker is taking the other side...

I think your question would be easier to address if the example charts had distinct periods (e.g., candles or bars) rather than continuous lines.

I bet car dealers love you.

I do know its behavior, but that pop looked a little different -- more mass order pulling off the offer than actual volume. Anyway, these things happen. Thanks for the RBOB insight. Regards,

It's usually volatile this time of day, but that was a really quick run back up.

In fact, there's an article in this month's Futures magazine that discussses market making in futures -- Automated trading: An exchange's best friend.

Go do a search on the phrase "market makers" at the CME or CBOT web site.

It's not like there's an account with all of your life-to-date contributions in it that's waiting to be invested -- there's no pot of cash. It's not guaranteed; it's an entitlement program that's funded by payroll taxes (think just-in-time inventory). They can't afford to let people start...
