Are you doing futures pairs or ETF pairs? If futures what ratio are you using Gold:Silver? thanks.

You need to show how you can add value. As you ask them questions about their operation try to find any deficiencies and then suggest improvements on the fly and how you could assist in that. Many years ago, in college, I was competing for a highly coveted engineering co-op job. I did that I...

Nobody knows about TAS orders at ICE? It stands for "Trade at Settlement" and you are guaranteed to get filled at the settlement price if you enter your order before settlement time. Cocoa settlement occurs at 11:50am New York time (to coincide with London Cocoa I guess). And I'm not sure...

The Faber stuff works. The trick is to be able to stick with it year after year in a disciplined manner. If you do you'll be rewarded. But I would guess most ditch it after a period of non-performance.

Start trading OPM. Clients always want to talk/ ask questions. Also Sometimes you get fresh ideas talking to various people.

It's my understanding that the TAS is basically another version of the regular contract. For example I saw in CQG Trader if you want to trade regular Cocoa the symbol is 'CCE' but if you want to trade the Cocoa TAS contract the symbol is 'CCET'. Similarly for Cotton: 'CTE' versus 'CTET'. And...

Main flaw of the eurozone: fragmented fiscal policy with centralized monetary policy. If you're going to merge the economies of a hyper-productive society and a lazy corrupt society, centralized government collection/spending needs to be in effect.

Not sure but there should be some news out of Germany before the US stock market opens.

Right now there's a vacuum of news judging by us treasury bonds and bund movement overnight. One thing that bodes well for stocks is it looks like Cameron is winning the election over in UK, who claims he will brutally slash UK public spending and raise taxes. If tomorrow's US jobs number is...

Are you looking to form a fund or just trade managed accounts? Which regulatory body will you be answerable to? NFA or SEC? If you're going go be trading client managed accounts as a CTA then it's possible to do it yourself extremely cheaply, no lawyer parasites needed.

Looks like the exchange is offering this type of trading on a few commodities. Does anybody know which settlement time is implied by "TAS". Is it the open outcry settlement at 1:30 or the Globex settlement at 5:15? Another concept I am unable to grasp is the TAS plus or minus ticks. For...

I 'm using their demo version 'PaperMoney' and tried entering market order for June'10 ten year notes. It said "working" and never got executed. Now I was entering this at outside of regular trading hours (around 6:30 am Chicago time). Is this why? Does TOS not allow futures trading...

Thanks for your input. The reason I ask about the limits is I currently trade ZB on TradeStation and IB with both screens up at the same time. It's strange in that if I enter the same limit order in both broker screens, the TradeStation always gets filled sooner than IB. I am curious, why...

Lately I've been dabbling in intraday strategies and came up with something that looks somewhat decent for CL on 1 minute bars. It has on average 3 trades per day. Holding period is 1 to 2 hours on average, and all positions are exited at the end of the day session. My questions are...

Interesting. I've never seen this type of order. Do they guarantee you'll get the settlement price? How do they handle it if an entity comes in with a huge order?

Look at Japan. Their JGB (10 year note) yield has never gone much above 2% in the past decade. And I do see similarities between Japan's past 2 decades and where the US is headed.

Could you elaborate on which Forex company you use? Thanks.

I'm wondering if anybody has experience with either of the above brokers. Can you comment on the spreads, rollover interest, etc encountered in actual trading? Thanks.

It's very difficult to predict which economy will rise several years down the road. There are too many variables to consider. Having said that I think it's safe to say the US will be a much bigger economy than either China or India in decades to come and longer. While India has vastly...

Portugal Italy Greece Spain spells PIGS of Euroland. This is why it's destined to fall apart.
