    SNAP popped, but will it Crackle?

    Remember SHAK guys. Don't rush into this one shorting early.

    SPY takes in most cash in more than two years

    In the US the futures are much better tax wise from the both a rate and accounting perspective.

    Australian housing bubble thread

    +18% yoy is clearly not sustainable IMO. Something will break (and most likely soon).

    Crude is screwed, man.

    He said physical traders not physical producers. Yes sometimes there's overlap but the intent was clearly on the large physical PLAYERS aka Vitol, Glencore, etc.

    Help! An big error was made on my gain/loss but the brokerage does not want to fix it! Attached imag

    This kinda sounds like something related to cost basis reporting changes. Look at the section that says "cost basis" and you'll notice it says 0 which is clearly not accurate. Prepare to go through hell as you figure out the real CB for all the trades.

    Execution of butterfly spreads

    Hmm something's up there. It comes up fine for me on both Excel and Numbers. It should look something like this (you can also scroll to the right to get more fields):

    List of CME Exchange Traded Spreads?

    It's not an issue of others seeing your stops or anything like that - it's a matter of having something other than the exchange manage a fly/condor/double fly/etc type position where the exchange provides a sub-par book for the native spread. If you look here you'll see differences in implied...

    List of CME Exchange Traded Spreads?

    eSignal can provide this. Use the explicit exchange traded symbol and then go from there. If you know efs you can even automate the per month volume stats. I made a related post on this in another thread but the reality here is that to get the best execution on oil flies you have to use the...

    Execution of butterfly spreads

    BTW this is product dependent. They do not always cascade the implication from lower order spreads to higher order spreads for all products. You have to check the Globex reference sheet for each product and spread type (eg SP, BF, CF) first for implication availability. There are basically...

    Lack of volatility in ES getting brutal

    Best time to trade any of these US markets is when VIX > 20. Otherwise it's just HFT trash and CB fuckery.

    Ag trade ideas

    I agree, the triangle is sorta iffy. On first glance it has that classic descending/compressive triangle look (which these days might as well be flip a coin), but if you look at the PA on the K contract specifically it's got more of the falling wedge/3 drive thing going on. My gut is telling me...

    How do you approach trading spreads like this?

    CTS trade sniper can.

    What is with exchange fees...

    ICE does huge volume/OI in both Brent and Gasoil and it behooves people to not be stuck with *only* CME as the only game in town. ICE jacking up fees is one thing, but CME being the only player around would probably be worse in the long run.

    Can you actually be short on the market?

    Buy until 2225-2250 then start thinking about shorting. Markets never dump "because they should." They need maximum bag holders first.

    IB suspends Intraday margin

    I'm an IB and TD customer. Aside from the higher commissions TD isn't *that* bad. Unlike IB they know how to actually margin an option spread without screwing you.

    The ACD Method

    What are your thoughts on the curve now, Mav? I've had a smallish long NOB position that was up quite "bigly" during the election but has since pretty much gone to break even. Are we expecting a retrace back up and continuation of some of what we saw duing election period time or was it a...
