certitude?

the only thing foolish to me is certainty don't be so certain

if not mistaken, the last time silver had a single-day move with the magnitude we saw in April, was in early 1987

i would bet that if the cftc did a study, and randomly entered er2 a few hundred or thousand times, in random directions, times and timeframes, they would find that it consistently runs against the position in a statistically significant fashion, regardless of conditions does that imply...

fair enough. the paranoia is a little severe at times. i just remember in early 03, when the er traded about 10-15k contracts a day and it was like taking candy from some poorly informed retiree somewhere. my friends at the time said it was like 'watching turtles make love' and wouldn't...

i'm sure they can if you can do large business and make it worth their while. as far as i'm concerned, anyone trading 10,000 er's probably has me cornered lol

hmm, i was just navigating the TS site to make my first withdrawal, and it indicates that before any can be made, the user must fill out and return the following form, which usually takes about 10 days for approval. LOL...

it's interesting you bring that up, good question, i'm not sure about institutional limits vs retail from the CME site however: Effective 4/21/06 – Position limit increases to 10,000 contracts on CME Russell 2000® contracts. http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/overview_ER713.html is it...

i think i looked into neoticker a few years ago when i was choosing a charting platform. its advantage as i recall was language flexibility, but aside from that no i haven't given it serious consideration. what do you like about it? i'm really comfortable with ts at this point, all in all...

to be fair, and this may sound conspiratorial, one reason i haven't moved cash so far is that my TS futures positions generally feel like they have noticably less adverse excursion than my IB positions. I've assumed it's some sort of bulk hedging or algorithmic sophistication on the Timber end...

thanks for passing that on, that was insightful. i didn't realize the degree to which interest income is one of the fastest growing profit centers for the company. the analyst that asked the question really hit the nail on the head as he phrased it in the context of a rising interest rate...

IB to scale up on eq trading, or maybe a cash mm account like Emigrant or ING. I haven't used Treasury direct, but considering it. There are probably vastly better solutions, but admittedly I've always neglected the cash side of things until recently

it would be nice to see TS offer real interest. i was reading recently on their forum about the difficulties and inconsistencies involved in having tbills purchased for a TS account, and am considering a bulk reallocation out of TS to keep that money working without any fuss.

you know the people in Black Jack fighting for this law are probably the gayest ones in the town. they should just accept it already and not exact their denial on others

jurik only grudingly provided screenshots of his stuff to me a few years ago when i politely called to express interest in the products. he was shockingly nasty on the phone.. beware i would imagine if anyone's trading needs smoothing to that degree, the free Tilson T3 will probably get you...

with 25k margins comming on copper it's tempting to assume comex wants retail and small spec out as opposed to in i made my first few trades via access recently, kind of similar to using a telegraph

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/markets/commodities.html "The margin for copper will be raised to $25,000, a 72 percent rise from $14,575 for each 25 metric-ton lot of the metal" lol. thats approaching 30%

ditto that, nymex via ib will be great
