    RBOB Sep Vs Oct

    Hello energy traders, Can you please explain why all expiries up to september trade in the 2.30s and after that they are all in the 2.20s. Is it related to the end of the driving season ? Why such a drastic difference? Thanks a lot.

    Daytrading quickly becomes a bullsh*t job, and as such people justify it?

    Millenium Man made 280K$ yesterday. For sure decent is different for him. For you it's just pleasing your boss, adding lines to your resumes , be respected in what you do and get in line/slightly above in terms of income, but not him. A lot of people would accept a diminishing income for...

    GLOBEX option spreads with IB

    GLOBEX option spreads with IB

    It's up to the MM who post bid/ask to the butterfly market to be in line with the implieds. If he is making an error, somebody will arb and he will lose money. However, since there is just one spread compared to three if you leg in with the components, it is usually a narrower market, more...

    GLOBEX option spreads with IB

    I don't know at all. Nitro was talking about the "complex order book" of CBOE one day. It might be related.

    GLOBEX option spreads with IB

    Christian, an ES butterfly is a market on its own just like ES futures or AAPL stock. There is no legging involved, no need to check what the related markets are implying for the butterfly. CME has created butterfly, calendars, straddle, strangle markets that are independant from their options...

    Corn short

    Caroy, I am not a fundamental trader and I find hard to get which reports are important for grains and which are not. I use the calendar from USDA website but most of the time there is no particular market action at the time of the reports. For example, every tuesday there is a...

    GLOBEX option spreads with IB

    Atrocious, I retried today and IB's submission is even weirder than what we thought. If you enter a 1100-1150-1200 butterfly your order will show in the book but if you choose a more obscure OTM one like a 1060-1080-1100 fly, your order won't appear. Is it globex limiting spread markets to...

    money management and ag trading

    That's my definition of blow-up too. It's really rare/dumb to blow-up ( and eventually end-up owing money to the house) in one single overleveraged trade.

    money management and ag trading

    I have never blown an account since I started trading futures, even at the beginning. Got from 9 K to 12 to 6 and then never looked back... That's called ... well... just luck.

    A truly riskless system?

    Hey guys, stop buying Eur/Usd or Usd/Eur, and start buying Usd with your Eur or Eur with your Usd and things will come back to normal. Just like you buy candys with Usd or Usd with candys.
