ThunderDog, I'm not an expert in this thing so it's just my guess. I think Nitro does imply directional exposure in any single one trade. It's just a matter of "balancing" such exposure overall.

Nitro, Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It is post like this with high content value that makes people keep coming to ET. A question pops up my mind after reading your post - If almost all option MM use such model then to what point would profit be arbitraged out? It seems to me if...

What you can do is to move key functions or incoporate security functions into a DLL file. It is very easy to do with tradestation and multi chart. That way they don't know what you're doing even if they get your EasyLanguage or "PowerLanguage" code I think it is an absolute must do. There...

this guy averages down his trades (to some extend) to exploit the perceived negative serial correlation with trend following strategies... he had a reputation in the past of digging himself out from holes faster than most other trend followers... guess it can work both ways...

I may be cynical... but country leaders can go great length to protect the interest of their countries... think of the Iraq invasion... where's the WMDs?

Talking of the rock bottom of low volatility...

The currency manipulation accusations and all that are just political shows. Congressmen want to look good and act like they're doing something, and whenever Bush is having trouble with Iraq he tells Paulson to stir up some shit and divert attentions... The fact is that BOTH countries need...

flipflopper, try go back to stocks for now if it's working for you. Making 300 trades long/short and trippling your account doesn't seem like luck at all and I think you should continue to do it. Why stop doing something that works and do something that doesn't? The future market is different...

Last time I heard IB has just acquired the HK license for FX trading... so it's now available for HK residence....

Can use try TS Globalserver? It's not the most robust of all, but if you think smartquant is expensive then maybe Globalserver would do... You can buy API SDK from tssupport

there are many ways to make money as a pit trader... some make money just by fading those who lose consistently and some would front run big orders... others simply can trade... Those who really can trade should have no problem moving to screens...

just the usual MS tatics... They lift the old product and push for the new one even though there is no demand from the customers... Soon MS is going to retire win xp by not providing new hotfixes, and corporate customers will all be forced to upgrade... that's how they retired windows 2000

I think the best is to prove he's the real deal. It's one thing if he trade in 5 lots, and completely different if he trade in 50's...

Hi, I don't seem to find any webcast on Nymex website anymore. Are they all removed or being moved to other places? L

E6600 runs at 2.4Ghz E6700 runs at 2.67Ghz That's the only difference... With overclocking, you can generally get around 3.6Ghz for either with good motherboard and Ram... I'm running E6600 at 3.6Ghz, it's good

wtf???? are you serious? This is indeed the biggest scam of the world... bucket shop try switch to futures... at least you won't be trading against your broker/dealer...

don't worry... Thomas Petterfly and friends are still holding 95%... if short of cash, would let go larger chunk at IPO... looks like a longer term cash out process...

gutsytrader you haven't thought of scaling down... with your fixed $1000 max drawdown approach, you will always end up with the original $10000... you see: $10000 (1 contract) - > $11000(2 contracts) -> $12000(3 contracts)->max drawdown hit->$10000 I think a fixed ratio will do what...

I don't get it... I took over $100K from my IB account from time to time and I got it under 6 hours EVERY SINGLE TIME... electronically wired to my bank... Why would you have this problem? One of the many reasons I love IB is that I get my money out within hours all done via a few clicks...
