I guess I am slow with this HFT/flash controversy,( sorry, futures trader here), please tell me where I make an error. From what I understand, flash orders are limit orders placed in the book for a really short time in order to deal solely with other HFTs and spot their algos. What does it...

Thanks for your answer.

How do you hedge your options positions with futures? Are you initiating a long futures position when a call gets ITM for example? What do you do if it reverts and gets OTM again? Thanks.

It must be a dream market for you. Efficiency is at its highest level.

I know you don't know what henderson knows but as soon as you ignore you don't know what you should know, then I guess you are fine.

LOL... One of the best traders around...2 days out of 5.

Be aware there is a per contract outrageous extra fee if you are not US citizen on OEC...

High Frequency What? Never heard about such a thing...

I agree that in general futures traders have less regular / consistent returns so in the end they must be making less as a whole. However, there have been some futures traders on the P§L thread like Heavyhitter78, SpoozTop or XXXSkier that were making reallly good money. I am also sure...

Really nice Evolution Jorge, Good job. What are you trading?

:eek: If there is one category of person that should really be paid high salaries, it's them. They are accepting to do the most tiring job, often in really bad social conditions, while sometimes risking their life and in the end dying earlier than us because they worked their asses off...

I am not an ES trader but I find 5.58 $ a RT pretty good for this instrument. I am sure some blackboxes average 1-2 $ per contract to make 10 M+ at the end of the year.

I saw an article about one trader that did the trick. He had exchange membership, black box collocation and access to insider info. After his interview in the market wizards, it had been revealed that he only made 47K in the second year, so I guess nobody on earth did it to date.

Hello, I am interested in getting historical daily datas of calendar spreads, for meats mainly and grains if possible. I don't want to get datas for every spread possible, just front / deffered, front/second deferred, deffered/ second deffered for example... I think it would be tough...

I would have no problems with those huge bonuses if they had a downside risk on their personal wealth, even a lot smaller than the upside potential. Introducing personal financial responsibility is enough to stop that kind of frightening behaviour, we just have to introduce maluses for people...

LOL... I might choose apple or red bull instead of Sunny D for today.

This is getting boring....It's the second day of the week I lose all my gains of the day on this kind of crap.
