Spreading is a great way to make a living. Yield curve spreaders can easily make seven figures per years. And with entry of EUREX US other, cheaper, opportunities are going to present themselves. But there's all kinds of opportunities, Oils, Grains, Meats, Time, New Crop/Old Crop, FX...

Go job, but go easy. Remember, it's never as good OR as bad as it seems.

I think the market gods saw Waggie all over every thread tooting his own horn and just wanted to teach him a lesson. :cool:

It was a discretionary play. But generally I agree that there are better plays than shorting a gap down. Usually I'm a buyer of down gap. But was already short form the day before. The put/call ratio was was the lowest in three and half years, the yield curve is starting to flatten out a...

Okay, I'll ask you this hypothetical: Do find it possible in your trading to be short bunch of NQ intraday while at the same time holding an entire sector of say Homebuilders, Gold's or Banks as a position? If yes, then that's all I'm talking about. If no, then I find that baffling...

Like I said, dancing between the periodicity's Regardless if you trade 1) day 2) swing 3) position or 4) all of the above, it's all the same market. Green on the screen.

I suppose the gap down and early morning sell off would be a good clue.

Can you not dance between the periodicity's? It was absolutely the right play to be short into last night close just as it was absolutely the right play to get long on today's strength. Whether you pretend to be a Trader or Prognosticator, it's all about green on the screen. Dr. Zhivodka

The text of the speech has been out for several hours. Markets are still slightly underwater. I doubt if there will be any upside surprises. But you never know. This Put/Call ratio is something to behold. And yeah, I'm talking my book. :cool: Dr. Zhivodka

Well I do know her. And never said cross a word about her. In fact, in all my dealings with her she was a professional and very nice doing so.

Pipe down Francis! I've known Eddie Franco since '92 when he began to this system up. I'm just yanking their chain.

Wow, that's one hellava, three-keyboard having, mouse-driven, radiation-spewing, redi-plus-order-losing system you guys have there. What, no Quotron or Telerate? :)

No I haven't Pabst. I don't follow the meat complex all that closely. They have always been kind of screwy markets for me. I know the floor guys and the spreaders do okay though. I just know from experience how these things work. I've seen it a number of times over the years in Stocks...

Exactly right! You beat me to it. :) Option I.V. soars in this case and makes it very expensive to bail. Dr. Zhivodka

I wouldn't be surprised to see Feeders and LC locked limited for a few days.

What, is this some sort of riddle that I'm missing? The obvious answer is too look at their statement of Cash Flow. It's on line and tells you everything you need to know. Then cross check with the other fillings. ?

Uh...thanks. Care to expand on that a bit? Dr. Zhivodka

Greetings, I've noticed the J-trader v TWS thread. What I really want to know is how does J-Trader stack up to X_Trader. I'm not concerned with a cost/benefit analysis. Price doesn't matter. I'm interested strictly in functionality. My impression is that X_Trader wins in functionality...

Why ...this thread was started with BS...wasn't it?
