So basically all hedge funds automated strategies are being stolen. I say this becaue they all clear and are setup through the big prime brokers.

Other than giving the home buyer the house the bank will lose because these subprime buyers consistently show an inabilty to pay their bills. The banks must forclose or cut principal in half and if you do the latter you will see a revolt among the class of people who actually are making their...

Excellent post ljyoung.

I had mtm from 2001 til 2003 when I traded for myself. My accountant filed the proper forms to take me off it in 2004. The real advantage of mtm accounting is if you have a bad losing year you can offest those losses with the previous years gain and get money back. I never had this happen to...

Ljyoung, You could get a demo from amp futures and probablys use it for a long time since they keep sending me new passwords for the demo every month or so.

Did I say cqg or dtn offers level 2. The better question is do I care since I have level 2 through my broker. Read my post next time.

I would go with zenfire feed which mirus and dorman offer. The technology used for the data is light years ahead of esignal,dtn, and cqg. The data is free with an account at these firms. The best way to tell if it is that good would be to get a trial account to a bunch of data providers and...

These idiotic protests are directed at the wrong place. Most BSC employees will be fired due to business overlap and the severance JPM has proposed is shit. My wife works there so I know. The real people who got bailed out here are the bond holders. This is where the anger should be...

You are a trading God. Have a happy easter in your granite plated house day.

Have no idea. It is not the metastock feed for sure. I tried that a couple years ago and it was lagging badly. It is probably reuters institutional feed which is $2000 a month. I spoke to Mike Sedek at schonfeld and he said the data comes from their direct line to me over vpn.

I have posted many times on esignal problems. Simply put their data absolutely blows during fast markets and sucks most of the time in normal markets. However they are the best at charting and making a traders layout look pretty. I have been using cqg and dtn/sierra for the past 2 weeks...

You would have to have access to a bunch of dark pools and be able to arb against ecns in seconds if not milliseconds. Most prop front ends as far as I know have limited access to most dark pools and if they do they cant see the quotes anyway since I think dark pool liquidity is hidden and...

Think the problem was with dtn data. On sierra charts/dtn I had 1002 for zgj8 while on cqg it was down around 930. Both are in line now.

Now they are down 28 dickhead.

Completely wrong. I trade 10 million shares a month and I am one of the smaller traders volume wise in my LLC.

My wife is a vp at BSC. She said everything was fine until the end of the day yesterday when many advisors were calling in to wire out assets. She said it was the worst end of day she ever had there and she expects it to be a hell of alot worse on Monday if they don't get a buyout.

I see rbob was up about 17 cents in Feb, hard to understand how gas prices went down on cpi during this time.

It just doesn't make sense to me to trade retail. You just need way to much capital. I know I need at least 1-1.5mil bp and there is no way I can or would put a 1/4 of that into a retail account. If the sec does take down llcs I expect the real winner will be the cme. I know with futures I...

Anybody else having problems at another llc besides tuco. The one I'm with seems fine for now. I am just wondering if this action was specifically directed at tuco or is the sec about to drop the ball on all prop firms. Its a fact that these prop firms account for over 10% of total daily...

Unkind? You are talking about one of the most self righteous politicians in America. Schumer and a few other NY's like Shelden Silver aren't far behind him.
