i think republicans control governors, mayors and courts.

what i've found to be more important than that is watching as the furthest away bid / offers are revealed and identifying overly large bid / offers that are resting orders (at least 5x normal bid / offer depth)- those won't be filled unless they are good for at least a little bit - there is my...

i'd rather be a big trader at a prop shop than a wallstreet trader right now- not the same level of scrutiny yet.

what he said is he is long gold and short the pound against it. if you both buy gold and sell the pound at the same time each time you do a transaction in the same amount it basically makes it as if you purchased gold in that currency rather than in dollars. so basically he is saying he's not...

i'm realistic- if this crap gets passed i won't be using it. i'll pay for real health care on the side so i won't have to wait until my leg falls off to be treated. the worst thing about this is that it really, really hurts the 15-95% group of this country (you know just 4 out of 5 people)...

if i'm willing to lose X$'s on any given day, my goal trading is to make at least 1/4X$'s but hoping to get to 1/2-2/3X$'s- with maybe one or two days a month equaling X$'s. it has worked for me well

goldman's fat finger in the euro's last fall was pretty costly- a 250 tic move on a sweep in the ED's

if you are trying to come up with your own strategy i'd say the 90% could easily be true. if you have learned a working strategy or even just realistic theories of a working strategy from someone i'd vastly improve your odds to say only a 50-60% failure rate. since i started working at my prop...

it's referred to as fat fingering in my world as well

i'm a quite profitable trader and have thought about offering training services like this at times, but i am sure i would charge more than anyone would pay, and there is no way in hell i'd give my strategies away by giving away statements beforehand. it's just one of those game theory...

potentially blow out interest rates a bit

if liquidity is a problem in your market just keep climbing the liquidity ladder until you end up trading treasury futures- i'm pretty sure those are the most liquid instrument around.

look down at the bottom at "liablilities per person" so that you count all the debt we've changed the accounting rules not to count.

if you are spending that much to get a mac just go ahead and get a good windows comp. it will be better by all standards for trading.

i'm there for another 8 months, i don't want to speak prematurely but i'm leaning towards trying out on my own at that point. we'll see though 1 more year with them would give me better stability to start off hiring a trader or two to start my own shop... that's the internal struggle i'm having...

what are the best rates i could get for 10 mil / year round trip in treasury futures. i'm at a prop shop now and just trying to calculate what my fee increases would be. i think i'm paying about 33c/round trip right now after leasing a seat.
