    Anyone else experience unusual open on ES tonight?

    Yep (to the Sept. rolls). Trades from both June and Sept in the first post. I've rolled, however, one of my books still had the June, so I ended up with multiple orders in both M/U, closed out the June's a little bit ago.

    What's the Biggest Leverage You've Used to Date?

    100:1+. Prop. In prop though, things get skewed. You can have 10000 in your account, and if your buying power is 1mm, and you use it, then all of a sudden, technically, you're 100:1. That number alone does not lend too much info about the risks though. It's so highly dependent on the...

    Anyone else experience unusual open on ES tonight?

    The first post reads (since you're referring to the June contract) that my listed fill was a buy at 1090.5 on the June. As the market is now trading at 1094's - essentially where you suggest it's trading - that implies a profit, assuming the fill was correct (which it is not). So where in my...

    Anyone else experience unusual open on ES tonight?

    Read the first post. In the money. But that's phantom profit, as the market never traded down there. The trades either never took place, or they took place at a different price.

    Anyone else experience unusual open on ES tonight?

    Is it just me or did the ES have an unusual open this evening. It appeared as though I got a fill at the correct opening time (6pm EST), but then no trading or data for several minutes after that until things seemed to have continued on (IB). I show a buy fill at 1086 on Sept, and a buy...

    How much do you save every month?

    There is a whole lot of talk about how to make money trading, etc., etc. on this site. However, this topic is very important. As advice to newer traders, and traders just beginning to earn money through trading: if you intend on or have any hope of being a trader for the long-term, save, save...

    Seeking Advice: Title Trading Interview

    Does that come before or after a pulse check and confirmation of capital deposit? I suppose after, so they can include your question in regards to cap deposit.

    Seth Bernake - Yep, Ben's Brother

    According to her linkedin profile, like most everyone else does as well, she puts down that she's interested in career opportunities. Perhaps I'll offer her a job in my office, just for the hell of it. One degree of separation to the The Man.

    PPT Active in Dollar Today

    I agree. I was replying to Optional's message: "The negative correlation between falling USD and rising SP is long over now..." Programs currently (as in flash crash - to date) seem to trade EUR.USD positively to equities. These programs seem to be on, and in full force both in day...

    PPT Active in Dollar Today

    Why go the extra step when they already handle dollars (actual, swaps, and other related transactions), why not just do that. The negative correlation between falling USD (at least as it relates to the EUR) and rising SP is NOT long over. I'm not normally active in currencies, so I can't...

    PPT Active in Dollar Today

    I didn't address other market participants, which of course there are many, and who are both buying and selling. Just that I believe the PPT is out there this morning attempting to protect equities, using the dollar, or something related to it. Call me a conspiracy theorist.

    PPT Active in Dollar Today

    I can't be the only one that believes the PPT, et al., is actively selling dollars here in an attempt to support equities. Engineering.
