its going to close above 50dma this week

In finance theory the pricing of a binary should trade at parity to an equivalent structured trade. I haven't looked at the calculations behind it but i would guess that the binary "bets" offered by brokers like NANEX have a larger spread than setting up the same trade idea using regular...

don't look too much into these afterhour trades.. it could have been a print from earlier that was reported late. No on is going to get filled that far OTM when there probably was a deep book with limit orders way lower than that..

if you need that size.. why not just trade multiple contracts? are commissions the only reason?

why is my PnL not in real time in the workstation?..my holdings tick and the pnl/ nav update every few minutes.. and also after hours, i sometimes get erroneous unrealized values for positions held overnight (futures)..

160 was an epic short level (and I missed it).. at this point IDK

What kind of numbers would get me a job right away at a hedge fund or a legit prop firm like Jane St/ Optiver? I feel like its more important to be able to consistently get base hits as opposed to random home runs. For example.. Let's say I take a 10k trading account to 100k in the span of 1...

L2 matters for sclaping, illiquid instruments, or afterhours.. but I would argue that the order book for very liquid stocks/futures/options/whatever.. mean shit, if the market is going to move.. it doesnt matter what the bids/offers sitting outside the money are. if you are an investor or swing...

is this a thread?

+1379.. was actually carrying a loss from last night so the swing was bigger than that.. see the SPY 196.5 put.. bought 20 weeklies for a day trade early in the morning at $0.30.. unbelievably closed it out for a wash minutes before S&P tanked .. should have been a 3k+ home run.. unreal.. still...

awesome action today..

here is an article that scared the shit out of me.. a determined bear.. fact is that as long as these companies keeping beating earnings... politics/ war/ yields/ gdp/ nothing else really matters "...released its latest update for second-quarter earnings season, and with 446 of theS&P 500...

just watched it tick 1960 ES Sep.. really?? 10 ES points between 350pm est and now 6am. epic short squeeze.. expecting a few fireworks today with opex one way or the other.. i would like to short this again but really speechless about this rally since 1890, never seizes to amaze me.

a bounce above 1932 would be bullish tomorrow.. would love to set up more shorts above 1950 but i dont think it will get there

not enough after hours in this thread.. its moving guys

^helpful.. thank you yes, I do trade energy, metals, fx, and rates. I greatly improved my trading skill and profitability by not limiting myself to a single market. If i don't see a trade in 6E or ES maybe live cattle is moving (whatever). I started off trading fin index products now...

never chase a runner

I'm new to trading Ag futures.. between different venues (nybot/cbot/nymex/globex/cme) and expirations.. How can I know which contract is the most liquid? For example December Corn ZC is trading with higher volume than September expiration.. Is there a better way than manually loading both up...

anyone else trading ES options? anyone have insight on these contracts.. seems to have decent liquidity for near month ATM strikes.. I made a couple profitable trades last week and now wondering why even trade ES outright

i need more information.. it could probably be any of the four, but I need to know the time frame and more historical data to establish reference.
