guess we can stop looking for MF's missing millions then....

Yes, it really needs to be seen to be believed. They have old men who probably should have retired years ago working as 'security guards' at stores and working with road work crews to stand there waving on traffic, when they are fixing a footpath..... on a back street..... at 2am in the...

right, so your saying you want to set yourself up as a brokerage? Thats a pretty big investment there not to mention the time investment involved there.... Some one may correct me here, but seems like there are much easier ways to receive similar returns on your investment......

Michael, even if legally the setup you are after WAS possible, what makes you think people will stick with you after the course. I would happily take your course maybe even open up an account with you and make a couple of trades to keep you happy. And then IF your strategy turns out to be...

I was looking through the exchange traded spreads for financials and while I think I understand the calculation used Im not sure I understand the logic..... Why are they calculated from the previous days settlement and not a more convential calculation? If it is just the difference in the...

Bone, I'm sure you have more spreads on your screen at anyone time than I would look at in months of trading. I actually enjoy reading your posts on spreads I've never even considered and apologies for my vagueness hampering your ability to respond. Wasn't my intention. I was trying to avoid...

Bone, thanks for the reply. I agree with the line of thought there however I am already well on top of this. Already using PC span and a variation of ATR to calculate potential losses. The question I need to find an answer for is how big is too big...... I probably havent explained...

Without getting into too much detail 95% of the positions are either calendar spreads or intermarket spreads. The remaining 5% are intraday occasionally overnight outright positions. Markets traded are u.s and European energy and metals as well as some grains . I also trade intermarket spreads...

Snake Eyes, I can't agree with you more about the risks of trading leveraged instruments. Have been at 40%-50% before, not nice, but survived. Learnt some very expensive lessons along the way.... But for the sake of this argument, lets pretend the size of my account is more than enough to...

Let me start by apologizing for the vagueness of my initial post. By not being more specific on exactly what I class as 'Illiquid markets' and 'quite consistent' it makes it difficult for those who posted to give accurate opinions. (to clarify slightly, I'm not exactly talking far out Orange...

I have a basket of semi-automated strategies that I have been trading with very small size and have proven to be quite consistent and am looking to slowly increase position size. I am in the process of developing a max size calculation as some of the contracts and months I trade can be...

Can anyone help with a site/sites that publish expected numbers for the Oil Inventories announcement? I have used forex factory to date but am after something that goes into a little bit mroe detail (more numbers than just the Crude Oil figure) Thanks in advance

so we did go a little over the top there.. glad thats settled. I do agree these reactors are toast though. Although that was pretty much certain the moment they pumped seawater in. While it seems (and I use that term lightly) containment is heading in the right direction and barring...

Kanzei, this looks like a pretty complete list of currenct reactor status, your comments to date seem to suggest this isnt the case though. Being a resident in Tokyo I am obviously pretty concerned about this, can you post some links that you have read that prove other wise?

I agree that this is extremely serious, but cyborg. please take the time to read the following 2 articles and comment. Everyone is entitled to form their own opinion on the facts, but lets make sure its the actual facts that we are dealing with...

Kanzei, any thoughts, on the following report. Will try and get some info on the other reactors you speak of, but as far as this one goes, while the situation is highly critical, it seems we still have a way to go before we hit the 'massive amounts of radiation spewing uncontrollably across...

For the moment, levels in tokyo as well as parts around the site have fallen. (according to the official reports anyway). Some people have already left Tokyo as a precaution and while some countries have reccomended non essential staff leave Tokyo, they are still in the minority.

Pocket change, check the cme website its all there limit down, cant trade any lower today

Grandluxe, I believe i have neccesary 'credentials' to understand the ' various cultural intricacies and subtleties ' Ive been here bloody long enough. and its definately in my best interests to try and figure out as best I can what the hell is going on. Yes we are looking at a major disaster...
