I traded futures with PFG for two years, I still have a small account that I keep there. Great customer service, account reps follow up well. But to be dead honest the platform isn't the best. It really sucks having to call the trade desk to place spread orders. There is a lot of human error on...

One thing that has helped me ENORMOUSLY was keeping an affirmative thought journal. I have had some serious problems with impulse and revenge trading myself. A message that I write a lot is "I am a disciplined, profitable, calm, patient, net profitable trader" Get a little calendar book with...

Haha!

Update, I bled the lines but can't find water turn off valves underneath the sink. The water to the whole house is off.

I was in the bathroom washing my hands when suddenly the hot water knob on the sink just literally blew in the air and started spewing HOT water everywhere. I immediately turned water off to the house and there is still how water coming out of where the faucet was. In the basement area where the...

Very well said Nazz.

You'd have to ask one of the more experienced energy traders (Bone, Papa Roach, Rubibond007, rbobtrader,ogarb,landis82. Hey if I left anyone out I apologize, very long day)which ones to watch on a macro level. j/k and k/m crude both trade pretty well. I'm a fan of the natty spreads as well...

Hey Synic, I don't think that we should totally abolish the death tax, but it really does need retooling. I did a fairly large report on it in college and I am trying to remember the ins and outs. (It has been a while so I could be wrong) From what I remember the tax itself gets lower and lower...

Thank you Pabst, Landis and Alpine. All great points indeed. Talk about an awful tax. By the time you cash your chips in 3.5 mil in assets really isn't that much. What about the farmers and ranchers? Where I am at a 3.5 million ranch or farm is about 3000 k acres give or take. Fairly easy to...

The main problem in my state (Wyoming) with wind power is lack of transmission lines. We have ample space, huge contiguous blocks of land that will be perfect for wind generation. There is for sure lack of investors right now that are wanting to go full bore into a large project like that. But...

I dabble in copper spreads occasionally. Decent liqiuidity at times. Summer month spreads are a bit more volatile in my experience. If you pull up any charts you'll notice that we are at some pretty historically extreme levels.

I like how the thread turned into a pet thread lol. Let me see if I can find any.

There is a NYMEX credit of 70% I believe but most clearing firms won't allow it. (just my experience) The "correct" ratio is 2:1 that gives you about 24 k in margin to deal with. There are certainly historical relationships between gold and platty. I'm not too sure about silver, I'm sure there...

Never traded Palladium, Have traded Platty a few times before. I was always spread gold against though, so never a true outright. It's a big contract and the liquidity isn't great and it looks like it can get pushed around pretty well. It looks to catch enormous trends so I wouldn't try and...

Tex is absolutely right, couldn't have said it better myself.

Too bad you missed the Natty sir. Coffee could be a buy again here soon. Did you catch any Lumber?? Oj is a weird market lately man, I'd personally staying out until we got some decision.

ADM Apex does, I love this platform. It's really great for what I do.

Absolutely good point Anaconda.

I do agree with you Dr. But also remember that everybody has been snatching up property and trying to rent it out. There is an outstanding amount of junk that is very overpriced on the rental market right now imo. Typical renters are making less now as well, and in my area rents have been...

Hey Circ, in the cash markets feeders are still undervalued to fats. Today put them a bit more in line but still a bit out of whack. I agree that if equities don't hold these bottoms we could see everything go substantially lower, including meats. I hope all is well.
