OMG, where do you get these unfounded fantasies from, the movie "Trading Places"? :D

The NG contract is for physical delivery, and the HH contract is financially settled. Although the HH contract settlement is derived from the NG final settlement - the basis for physical delivery (the pipeline and storage basis) provides a "wildcard" differential between the two. The HH...

You can PM me over the most mundane minutiae - but you can't PM me over something actually important and trading related? :rolleyes::D

Clients have been taking STIR and longer dated expiry yield curve trades the past few weeks. Heads up ! ;)

These new contracts are always "Roach Motels". This was an advert for a Raid brand home insect trap decades ago, where the motto was: "they can get in, but they can't get back out".

If you had even bothered to read my earlier posts to Beautiful Stranger in this thread, you would have realized that was exactly what I was saying to him. He brought up the idea of the Chinese attacking the US (on the US mainland no less) through the use of Chinese Special Forces and...

There will always be a "perpetual" bid from 401K and pension buyers, but let there be no doubt that Selling can overpower Buying.

I personally don't put much stock in Russia being a legitimate national security threat to the US. Certainly not on the level of China.

Well, China has only made things worse in terms of their antagonistic and highly confrontational relationships with their neighbors like India, Australia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

I can think of nothing more asinine than for China to directly or indirectly orchestrate subversive terror in the United States. The United States is their largest export market and the EU at number two is a distant second. With a stroke of a pen, under such a circumstance the President of...

Probably safe to say that if he's gone public with his position - he's feeling considerable pain.

Well, the short covering exhaustion bid is typically the final leg of a rally. :cool: :vomit:

If most shorts tend to take profits quickly as you stated - then how exactly did 2020 become "one of their worst years ever"? Do you work for BuzzFeed by chance?

It sounds like IB has a superior method for traders to hedge FX fluctuations. CME FX is NOT illiquid for the larger names. Many small lot orders, but the order book is populated. Yesterday the CAD Dec future traded 64,162. Volume in March was 4,681. The Dec-Mar calendar spread is one tic...
