BTW, with regards to that Cotton NZ14 spread they referred to later in the article, the last minute liquidation before FND did seriously disrupt the market (although not really a market non-commercials would be in at that point):

Well my point was really about the fact that they're not even selling houses anymore - they're selling "the dream" aka the American one. In reality the real middle class can't afford any of this shit, this is dual income smug tech worker American dream type stuff and they'll gladly pay just to...

Your trouble here is purely about settlement prices or not. If you're trading daily/weekly, you could just go off of settlement and go from there. If you want more "data" you could consider everything and just pull overnight+RTH on RTH close.

You gotta love how we're going full circle from granite countertops and stainless steel to "retro 1930s". Think about how insane this is, flippers ripping out old school stuff to replace with modern McMansion nonsense and then trends changing such that they're tearing out the granite and...

With the rate the SEC has been going the last decade or so she'll probably be a commissioner within a year.

By far the cheapest (and IMO one of the best besides CQG) for charting is this: 1. eSignal Classic (aka on demand [one caveat: does not support custom EFS studies]) 2. eSignal delayed service bundle for all North American, European, and Asian futures, stock exchanges, and FX. Just get all of...

It's totally possible to find a 1BR outside of the city proper for less than 2400$. Anyway both SFBA and Sydney are insane bubbles so just sit back and be patient.

To all the people saying they'd love to see TF move to CME because you don't want to pay the "exorbitant" 120$: You'll be paying that and more in losses once the Russell gets arb'd to death on CME as cross-index margining will be much more direct on the same exchange. Anything you like about...

IB only uses continuous contracts when you request the continuous contract symbol. isotope, what specifically is off about the IB data that you're concerned about - and on what timeframe? I have access to a few data providers and can cross-check if you can point out what the problem is.

Well this is just the other part of the fun out there. HFT/MM entities trying to force price insensitivity. Just because it's dumb money doesn't mean you're going to get a "great deal."

You'll distinctly notice futures missing. C'mon folks this is all about monetizing order flow. If flow were regulated such that internalization was disallowed and NBBO was forced this stuff would be gone in an instant.

So these spreads are known by these symbols: GSR: Gold/Silver ratio spread. "Once a reference price is established for Gold, the Gold reference price will be divided by the settlement price of Silver to establish the settlement price of the ratio spread." GPS: Gold - Platinum spread. "Once a...

NIRP.

Don't believe the "supply" meme folks (yes, there is a supply issue - but don't buy into it so much). Find the appropriate instruments and prepare for what will undoubtedly play out.

When it comes to metals (or livestock) I recommend this one:

IRS specifically looks for this and if you're not careful you can reset your holding period.

Name one thing substantially similar in prior bull markets other than prices going up.

Glad to see the "this time is different" / "new paradigm" crowd starting to show up. Because QE'd/ZIRP'ed out CB circuses in structurally and demographically unsound contexts are somehow on par with 1942-1966 strong middle class boom-time markets. You know what's dumb about these charts? They...

So how many of those past bull markets were based on ZIRP and QE?

IMO: Stay away from livestock and seasonals unless you like getting punched in the face repeatedly.
