Well, my best trade happens to be lucky. I was stacking orders in the Two year note future for 25 lots. (This was during asian market hours so stuff is SLLOOOWWW). Anyway, someone fat fingered for like a 2.5k lot (holy crap!) or something and 3 ticks worth of 25 lots (300 lots total) got taken...

Hey! Best of luck to you. Question: Who are you using to execute your trades?

lol, maybe this sounds stupid, but how the hell does anybody trade the bund? That is flat out nuts. Plus the note trades until 4 P.M. and the Bund trades till like 2 or something (and within 3 hours of the close it's dead). I'm more of a two year future trader though. I've been making a killing...

Well, two months ago, I was estatic that I had started a 401k when I was 18 since I was getting such a huge jump on everyone else my age. Unfortunately, my company forgot that employees have to be 21 to start a 401k, so I'm back at square one. Maybe I should start a Roth IRA. I think I only have...

Yeah he's still trading. I don't think he's going to stop until he goes blind. I guess he's semi-famous. http://www.traderspress.com/detail.php?PKey=66 I mean... The last chapter of this book is about him.

Everything I know about the eurodollars markets, I know from him. He was the one who introduced me to futures.

Lol, he definitely didn't get rich by disclosing his methods. But you are right on about the second part.

Yeah, that was freakin nuts.

Ray Cahnman has made millions from trading. I've actually seen him make a million in a week with my own two eyes. The craziest part is he made a pretty smooth transition from the pits to electronic.

I usually just use the rule of 72, but thanks anyway.

holy balls the S&P is tanking pretty hard for this shift. Good think I went long the two year note future.

Good question. We're going to get another guy trading the day shift with her, so they can watch out for each other. Until that happens though, i'm keeping a pretty close eye on her (checking positions hourly online) and if I see anything out of the ordinary, i'm going to come in and pretty much...

When I say she's an awesome trader, I mean she's an awesome trader when we trade eurodollars. She's an awesome strategist for our eurodollar portfolio and has made us 2/3rds of a million dollars in 1/3rd of a year. This loss of hers was because she started trading a new product without any...

I never said I made $1000 a month. Not really sure where you got that figure. Also I don't think she trades on ET. At least I hope she doesn't or else she'll see this and be like WTF?!

For the record... yes.

I meant that she didn't have to put this risk on and lose this much money and ultimately feel like shit. I didn't mean she doesn't have to feel like shit for what she did because you're right. It's a huge process in learning.

I can't be spitting out what company I work for as I don't want to bring any kind of embarrassment to anybody. I simply needed a place to vent. I will say it's a small private company. Also besides this, she's actually an awesome trader. Literally one of the best at the firm. The proof of...

At my work, we trade primarily eurodollar future spreads which means for everything we buy, we sell something against it. We are always hedged. Pretty much the whole company is split into groups of 2 or 3 with a leader of the group (day shift trader) who primarily makes decisions about...

I'm sure people said that about the cold war. I wonder where they are now -_-

Your gas theory would never happen. Simple economics shows that when a commodity or product reaches a certain price, buyers move to a substitute. Even if there wasn't any substitutes on the market, the buyer would demand a switch by refusing to buy the overpriced commodity/product and the...
