    If you are that insecure about your funds what with SIPC and additional ins coverage by the Clearing firms themselves, maybe you shoud'nt be trading electronically where your chances of losing due to system outage is far greater than clearing firm going under. If you do use your mattress, just...

    WAR IN 72 HOURS... TIME FOR UNITY... WHATEVER OUR DIFFERENCES...

    I think the next speech would be an announcement of an ordered attack as opposed to "We are going to attack in the next x days" No commander in chief would do that for it would negate suprise element as well as invite preemptive attacks by the enemy. As far as warning inspectors and...

    WAR IN 72 HOURS... TIME FOR UNITY... WHATEVER OUR DIFFERENCES...

    I have this sickening feeling that Bush's address to the country possibly tomorrow won't be "Saddam has x days to disarm..." but more like "Approximately 6 hours ago I ordered the 5th division of the air force to attack...." I hope and pray that something good will come out of this. I fear...

    Forex Trading Strategies

    If you came across a stock or future firm that charges $35 per side per minimum lot which is 100 shares or 1 future lot such as 1 emini would you trade that instrument? Such is the case with spot forex where due to the leverage and execution platform you would be behind by at least 30-$40...

    Scalping within a long straddle

    Doubter, That could work provided the difference in IV (bias) between the two months is substantial enough to protect you against a vol implosion. If bias is not big enough and xyz makes big up move and you sell a call against the straddle you will get whacked due to short gamma on the call...

    Pairs Trading Strategy Model

    Such is the nature of reversion trading strategies, you make $ 8/10 but the other 2 times you lose most if not more of what you make. Commodity pits are littered with stories of traders doing these spreads. I personaly clerked for an oil trader who went through the cycle at least three times...

    NYSE Specialist Fined

    25K is what they can make in a couple of trades with the prop info they have. Imagine cuffing a 3000 lot order 10 cents everyday for x months. I can't believe it. A lot of guys in coffee pits got caught by CFTC, suspended for 6 months bail money in the six figures. Now that is an effective fine...

    SMW Trading Company

    Typical path of SMW traders are fresh out of college with good grades specially in Math. Clerking/runner for 6 mos. to a year then getting sponsored for a seat. This is what a real prop firm is. Not the dime a dozen ones. No $ risked just sweat equity by the traders in return for 0% losses and...

    Cocoa market anyone?

    lescor -that mini coffee is really not what you'd expect. All it is is sorta like a DOT machine where your coffee order supposedly goes into a hand held device held by a broker who then competes for your order via open outcry.
