We needed real and meaningful reform decades ago. The insurance industry is so bloated and abusive to to consumer/employers/medical industry that it is truly embarrassing for the nation. Ripping off Americans on medical expenses has gotten so out of control that it is laugh out loud...

It is kind of crazy yes. But, it allows the EU to develop their own brokerage and banking system for foreign clients. I'm sure it has a lot to do with banking regulations. Can't EU clients easily set up accounts through UK based brokers? I have only dealt with US based brokerage as an...

Here's another thing. When the debt gets large it actually increases wealth and power of the nation in a debt based system. Why? Because the sovereign pays interest. This actually creates more money. If GDP can keep growing (competitively) and the economy keeps growing (nominally) then...

Healthy? This is the reset. Long ago the countries/kingdoms were in a competition. Then they competed, in this order crude technology, alliances, and political regime (royalty, religion) engineering and navigation industrially military technology territory fiat currency (debt) regimes...

I don't think so. I think what is going to happen is that there will be a very long period of sustained (nominal) growth while the debt increases indefinitely. It will get so large that there won't be anywhere on earth that the capital can (safely) go to. It will have to stay in the...

China has tons of debt that is off the books and is undisclosed and/or in gov backed enterprises (or wholly owned entities). They are manipulating the yuan exchange rate and creating tons of debt in secret. Secret bank write-downs. They are just papering over bad loans to keep growing the...

I love this retarded shit. Here is a little lesson in day trading, AKA speculation. Good traders know how to trade size. You read that? I just said good traders know how to trade fucking size. Learn how to use leverage. This beat the market shit is for pussies. That and idiots that have...

I only really know stuff about the industry because I was studying to become a trader for years. I just got addicted to studying the stuff. Banking, economics, finance, trading, treasury, equities, the history of markets, etc. Years started to go by while I was doing a degree in Math. So...

(FINRA) Rule 2090 (Know Your Customer) and FINRA Rule 2111 (Suitability) Overseas customers are more difficult to accurately identify, and monitor. Brokers need to run checks on potential clients (criminal, FICO, including legal and industry checks). The regulators don't want illicit funds...

"Trump says China trade deal 'close' but dashes hopes for signing ..." "Trump threatens substantially more tariffs if no China deal ..." "...can a so-called phase-one mini-trade deal with China be signed?" "Trump said he hopes U.S.-China trade deal will be signed ..." "US-China trade talks hit...

Just thought I would post this here. I can't even imagine having to deal with pits and shouting matches with spitting and signalling. Running actual corded phones at all times. Real traders are what inspired me to become a trader. Huge respect for the pros. Heroes to me.

I knew something was off about this guy when he kept writing posts that were waaay too long. He also didn't act like a professional. "Periodicities" was overused. There was a suspicious lack of sophistication in his analysis and commentary. Whenever somebody has to use the same word over and...

If you buy a put and sell a call same strikes, same expiry then you are short. Buy call sell put and you are long. It's crazy that you can be short one expiry or pair of expiries, and long another. You can mix longs and shorts across the calendar, pair the positions against each other, and...

Just my 2 cents, but.... The guys that get jobs at Investment Banks on the dev ops side are superstars. They got resumes with stuff like Math Olympiad, Programming Competitions, Ivy League Undergrad, Ivy Grad, Ph.D and/or top level credentials in various fields like aerospace engineering, EE...

There are many things that are moving the index. Eurostoxx50, FDAX, treasuries, sector rotation, price action in the individual components, and even (like Overnight says) Trump tweets. There are even robot speculators that build up $100,000,000 positions and dump them as soon as they are...

This sounds like the stuff I need. Would like to have some real-time insight into the cash market but haven't really got serious about it yet. I am moving towards rate futures a lot more just because they are so good for trading. Leverage, spreading, price action, margin treatment, lower...

But what about rates traders on the long end of the curve? Will this change things? The spreads get wide sometimes bone. Other times there are huge imbalances and aggressive taking of liquidity. They take ALL the liquidity and then start trading inside the spread! I know how to read a book...

He's saying that the US index micro's are not liquid during off hours. That's why he wants a micro CL. steve2222 wants micro contracts to trade that are NOT based on US timezone. If I remember correctly, CL has a lot of action during the Asia/Middle East/Europe timezone....

I'll just add something to this discussion. If you don't like the idea of applying TA to the indexes I will offer you an explanation why this does work. But, it's kind of advanced! Look at this chart. It overlays two instruments. The long bond future in red and ES in white. If you can do...

This is actually true. Very good point. In fact, traders should be looking into this. I have built a system that tracks and measures this very thing, and the result is most impressive. Chicago hosts an exchange that trades derivatives on indexes. The index components are trading in New...
