I trade futures options through Interactive Brokers: http://www.interactivebrokers.com

When it finally spooks the bond market (which it hasn't yet) As long as bond markets remain stable, weak dollar will help the stock market.

This is why economic stimulus is pointless in globalization. A big portion of every Dollar spent by tax payers will end up in the hands of foreigners.

Be prepared to get bombarded with anti-Brazilian news in the media. Talks of corruption, crime, lack of democracy, human rights, women’s rights, gay rights, minority rights in Brazil will soon fill the prime time news in the US.

I occasionally trade the QM whenever I want to use big stops and just let the position ride the big moves. QM is pretty much the same as CL except its half the size, has wider ask/bid and it expires a few days before CL. I base my technical analysis on CL charts, even when I trade the QM...

Well said!

OTCkrak, My main reason for wanting to trade the Asian markets is because of time zone issues. I live in California and I am getting tired of having to wake up 6 am every morning to trade our markets. I figured trading the Nikkei would be the same as trading ES so the transition would be...

Anyone here trade the Nikkei from the US? Do you trade the Osaka or Singapore exchange? I am thinking about trading the Nikkei (Singapore) through IB. I have never traded in foreign markets before and was wondering if there are things that I need to be aware of, like impact on tax reporting...

You realize that Goldman's Sigma X is one of the biggest dark pools? :D

Wall St would find this plan very unfair and somewhat communistic. A better plan for them would be to impose an extra 20% tax on society, and use the proceeds from that to support current banks. Half of that amount could be used to pay out exec bonuses. Anyone that disagrees with this plan...

NCWoods, Don't waste your time and money pursuing a dead career. Trust me, you'll thank me later for giving you this advice. Your odds of being able to code for a living is very slim. High tech field has been completely taken over by foreign H1B workers. American software engineers with...

Good job! What tool is that? I use IB as well, but I do my profit loss break down on a spreadsheet every day and its a pain.

Yea, the markets are acting weird these days. It seems like everything moves with ES.

Gotcha! I was brain washed during the mid 90's in college with the whole "creative destruction" theory, so I was a big fan of him until I read the entire book ("Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy" ) for one of my senior econ classes. Boy was that disappointing. Aside from the poor...

You realize that Schumpeter's main thesis was that capitalism would slowly evolve into socialism over time? Schumpeter would have a hard-on for Obamonomics if he was alive today. Better re-read the book :) http://www.amazon.com/Capitalism-Socialism-Democracy-Joseph-Schumpeter/dp/0061330086

:D so true

Nice! It was a about time someone started a bond journal. I'll start following this thread.

I like the slick design. I wonder if I can buy one of those in California.

This point is mute! That’s like saying, people shouldn’t group drug dealing with violence. The reason HFT and front running is group together is because HFT shops are front running.

lols, welcome to the club man! US Gov has been taxing me since I started working at age of 16, and now, they are putting my tax money in the pocket of AIG/Goldman crooks using gov bailouts. When I build a decent size account, i will move it offshore to protect it from these crooks. As...
