yeah that's true I made so much money fading that guy !:)

HFT is a by product of the demutualization of exchanges, true or false ? If it's true as I suspect, then demutualization which should never have happened IMO was clearly a bad thing for markets.

I used to follow the AAII and II numbers but first I no longer find free data sources on the net, and I hear these indicators have been pretty much useless recently. Other classic sentiment indicators I follow are too few to be relied upon (and then you have the Rydex Nova/Ursa I don't even look...

One has more suckers than the other

well i would say "Options as strategic investment " is more of a basic book as someone said an encyclopedia, to have for reference. It's a must read - not necesarily from first to last page obviously) but after that you need to read more stuff, more practical stuff. His other book "Mc Millan on...

I am not an option guy at all so others may correct me, but IMHO, at least what I am more comfortable doing especially if I foresee a significant move is buying slightly OTM , so you get some leverage due to the fact that 1) option cost is lower and 2) if you are right, delta will increase as...

so day low is $40 , and it trades at $75, bitcoin looks more and more like the mother of all suckers game ...

Trading halted ? What a joke . It shows just how this whole bitcoin thing is nonsense and another mania. See my previous posts on this. A legitimate and viable currency does not need exchange halts to reestablish stability and credibility. You remember the internet days ? Bitcoin is to...

wtf what tiMe did they release ? 9:30 am ET ? Funny I was looking at the market surge and looking for an explanation other than technical, since such a breakout ahead of the minutes seemed odd, and I thought to myself , the minutes must have been leaked out , then no , you are being...

Can someone please tell me that customers of IB UK are without a shadow of a doubt covered by SIPC, and not by the UK protection scheme (£50k) ? IB representatives say SIPC applies, however 1) IB docs for CFD trading approval at UK subsidiary say something to the effect IB UK customers...

There seems to be a lot of unknown about the actual protection offered to non US account holders. Customers at IB UK for ex. , I am not sure they are covered by SIPC, IB in fact created confusion with documents stating these customers were not covered by SIPC. However representatives have...

Do you need to change anything in your settings to run a mon off of aUSB/VGA adaptor ?

I am looking for information on JBG futures, do those trade on SIMEX and what's the symbol (on eSignal/futuresource.com) ? Also is there some website where you can chart yields and/or prices on JGB's ?

Been using Matrox TripleHead2Go for 4 years without glitches, very good product that allows you to hook up 3 mons to your laptop.

Were those managed accounts or funds ?

So let me get this straight , hype is value for you ? You sound like a 21 year old addicted to his iPhone and social media. you'd be a fool buying this stuff , did you see the chart ? It's basically a (penny) internet stock.

Ok I heard about bitcoins a few years ago, never looked into it. For me the big issue is : how do you buy stuff with it, sorry but I haven't seen a place like eBay or Amazon allow bitcoin . Secondly, in case the system collapses, maybe there won't be any internet in your area anymore, so...

this is a joke right ? All those CTA's were frustrated guys and none made money for your clients ?

emotional debate on precious metals ? I don't know of any other market that is more emotional than the gold and silver market . And frankly if someone is emotional and gets all worked up when you question their positions I would rather be on the other side of their trade .

OK maybe I am missing something, but I have read and seen on IASG etc that some CTA's have small min. I don't think all these are CPO's (i.e pooled money), actually they are often new emerging CTA's so I doubt they can go the CPO route, so it must be a managed account. And that means they are...
