Sold another 2 aussie at 93.14 average is now 4 short at 93.60 Im out of my hog spreads at -1.75 for a $200 loss there. They just weren't doing anything. Looking to get long the british pound today......don't have an exact number but as always I want to get it bought as cheap as possible...

Looking forward to your journal. Do you mainly play directional stratagies or are you trading purely volatility most of the time? Good Trading

Awesome thread guys. How did you find out about ccu? I know this is off topic but if we are talking about butterflies what do you guys think about buying a may 29/30/31 call butterfly in msft? Total cost of about $43 while total profit of about $57. I know probably not the greatest R/R...

Aussie declined about .0047 today. Whenever they take it up to around 9435 or so they just can't hold it and we start to sell off from there. This market feels extremely weak and I expect it to selloff rather nicely over the next few weeks. I want to sell some vol in the sugar market...

kingppo I try to get spelling right although I don't always get it spelled right lol. I have read about Jim in the Market Wizards book but that just about all I know of him. I don't really know whose style I trade like but I try to read as much as I can about the best traders in the world...

Still short aussie however it refuses to break! If we break today's high tomorrow I think I will just get out of the damn thing and look for another opportunity because if we break that high I think we could make a run for new contract highs and I don't want to be around for that. Out of es...

ammo I thought you live in Iowa? Anyway here in westcentral Iowa most guys have their corn already in and are just waiting for it to dry up so they can get the beans in. I know guys that have planted corn 3 weeks ago and its still not in!!! The ground is just too damn cold and a little...

Cutten Now your getting all technical with me man lol!!! I just did those trades because they looked good on a chart and its a moore seasonal trade (I like the KISS rule). I'm out of my canadian actually but im still short the aussie and expect it to pay out nicely. I do agree with you...

Still short my es and I will continue to hold on to them. Market just feels weak imo and im looking at 1350 as a target. Still short my 2 aussie dollars also. Profit target is around .9000 for that trade but im thinking of holding onto it until .8500.........just have to see. Still got...

Actually the reason I ask is because I will be graduating high school a semester early next year around February and will be coming down to Chicago to try to find work on the trading floors. I also plan on attending DePaul University.

Thanks Thats what I was looking for.

Does anybody know roughly how much volume is still traded via open outcry at CBOE? Also does anybody by chance have any connections on the CBOE floor (brokers, locals, clerks, etc)? Thanks YT

Reaver Any thoughts on Aussie dollar here? Im short a few at .9404 and it looks like we could take it to at least .9000 but Im not for sure. YT

Liffe is 15 deep and Eurex is 10 deep. I totally understand where you are coming from man. 5 deep is just not a transparent book.

Short 2 es at 1398.50 Also im out of my canadian dollar longs at .9961 for a $3100 profit. Keeping my aussie dollar short however. still got the hog spreads

CollegeTrader Your name sounds familiar like you have posted on this journal before. I can tell you are an extremely intelligent dude just from what you have wrote so far. Let me talk about one issue at a time. Fist off as far as the acres planted goes. The last report showed 27% of...

Pabst sorry to hear about the accident man. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Shorted 2 aussie dollars at .9404 (I think). I expect this to work out really well. Bought 2 canadian dollars at .9805 I also expect these to work out well. Still short 2 oct/dec hogs

Did pabst die? I heard on the radio yesterday on my way to school that a chicago native died and was burried with pabst blue ribbon beer in the casket (no joke). :D

Uncle Ho (dude I love that name lol) Thanks for the heads up on everything. You have some pretty good ideas. Im bearish corn also, everything imo is priced into the corn market and I expect crude to falter very soon and I also expect a pop in the US dollar. Which both are very bearish...
