Hi, can you please tell me where on cme's website you can buy the historical tick data (just normal time & sales) for es mini. It has the historical data for free going back a max of 5 days only. I am looking for historical es tick data going back 3-5 years, probably a few gb worth. How...

Does anyone know anything about the shanghai office kershner is opening? Do they have the same training/mentoring in shanghai like they do in austin for new traders? Is the shanghai office even a prop trading location. Thanks

nooooo, lets talk about the x and o!!! it's all about the x and o!! :D

Hi HG/Howard, thanks for the great thread. I just finished dorsey's book and read through the first 1/3 of this thread and want to summarize for my own benefit and also to confirm my understanding and some questions. If any of the below is wrong, please make the correction. Patterns...

the problem with iran is not their military, if US were to engage, it would wipe out the iranian military like it did with iraq in mere weeks. The real consequence is the massive amount of underground networks and support iran has. And it's truely scary. Think of it this way, US is...

when did the indymac story first break on the news? not rumors, but when it was first officially announced that fdic is step in. Was it after the closing on 7/11 or before? The afterhour trading of 7/11 didnt seem to be affected by the news

does he trade for himself or work for a firm? If he's trading for a large ibank or hedgefund then it's definitly possible, of course it's not "him" making 100k/day then. But if you are telling me it's just some guy trading by himself, then 100k/day is crazy. What does he trade?

err i dont think that's what atticus meant by ncst lol, it makes no sense.

i dont get it, what does n c s t stand for? :confused:

i am confused, why would ninja trader have downtime? I have been using it for a long time and from my understanding it's nothig more than a front end gui that connects to whatever datafeed/broker source you specified. So if there is downtime/problems, it has to be on the source side no? Ninja...

IT'S ALIVE!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!

joking or not, good call.

oke fine so it does that, and the stock goes up. Then when everyone start looking at the books and realized its cash reserve of $18 billion is now at $9billion for example after the stock buyback. Take a guess what will happen? yep stock falls right back down and bsc has even less cash reserve...

I agree raising rates now is not a good idea. Environmental concerns aside, speaking purely from a economic point of view: Lower oil (allow offshore drilling, stop reserve, etc..) -> market goes up (market currently has a inverse relationship with oil) -> start raising rates gently at 25...

yes that was my question exactly, wouldnt it make more sense to calculate vix based on true volatility - make vix moves up whenever the market makes a big push in either direction, and make vix moves down whenever the market becomes flat again.

have a question on vix/iv in general. I know its behavior make sense based on the formula to calculate iv, and vix. But just in general looking at it logically, if the sp500 were trading at -1% to 1% range, then suddenly gaps up say 10% in 1 day(for argument sake). Why would volatility not...

LONG 10x JAN 2010 109P at 21.7 SHORT 10x JUL 2008 104P at 1.2 SHORT 10x JUL 2008 99P at 2.5, EXIT at 0.9 +1.6 Oiled looked very strong earlier today, appears to be breaking out of the range, so decided to play conservative and get back in the position. Anyway that may be a...

GM products arent attractive anymore. I dont think they have a good line up. Their flagship big SUVs / trucks are now getting crashed because of oil price. Their cars are below average at best, most would still buy one of the japanese brands instead of a chevy or pontiac. The only good brand...

I try to explained every point you raised, yet all you keep doing is writing this generic shit. Good riddance.

Again all you are doing is just reading through generic option rules and copy pasting them because my journal's subject has keyword "monthly income" + "sell options". I agree with those rules in general. But: 1) I am not a full time trader, this is just a hobby, i make few trades a month...
