For the life of me the multipliers of futures contracts confuses me. I still don’t understand why bonds are priced like “131’12”... why is ‘ used and not the normal .

inagree man. I use all these indicators for second hand confirmations of what price is telling me. But I do use bollinger band width as a proxy to see how realized vol expands as spot drops. Eventually there will be an inflection point where the width can only diverge so wide until it almost...

So what type of futures trading do you classify yourself? And what products will you be trading?

I've always been fascinated with Bollinger bands, as well as ketler channels and other methods of plotting price volatility on charts. Indicators like BBands are mostly interpreted wrongly by those who "use" them. In my opinion, I actually use Bollinger-Band Width more so than the bands...

Earnings season is on its way. @TheBigShort hope to see your posts soon!

Hey guys so my professor just said we will have access to Bloomberg terminals for the semester. I was honestly shocked and I am excited because I've never used one or seen one in person but am wondering if anyone here uses it or has used it? I'm wondering your experience using terminals?
