I feel really lazy now... It's my first year as a professional and I take 2 months off...LOL On a side note, July and August have been really slow for me...I'm making less than half the money I was making during winter and spring, same regularity but just fewer trades... so it was OK to quit.

Off course take vacation... What does it mean to work every single day of the year?... Why are you making all this money for? ... Especially if you're up big for the year. Took 10 days in Andalucia at the beginning of the month and it was one of the best trips I have made...Also took one week...

Hello fellow ag players, I just noticed the change in agricultural matching algorithms on globex( dated July 3rd apparently ). I was having a bad time figuring out what was happening lately. Now, every ( if I remember correctly ) grain futures is working with the K algorithm ...

thanks a lot.

Hello, I remember a webcam of a man losing about 25 K trading ER2 futures 6 month/1 year ago. There was a thread on it. The guy was acting crazy in front of the computer. His name on ET was john something. Does someone still have the link? Thanks a lot.

It's here since a month or whatever... I started a thread about it but the moderators deleted it. LOL.

I concur to that. At one time in this thread, when he was talking about Dax behaviour at dow open, I was afraid that he had begun to watch useful things, but things are coming back to normal with his daily instrument and method changes. Now that he has( finally after 1 year )solved his...

The guy was selling "student loan backed securities"( subprimes ).... LOL: http://www.efinancialnews.com/usedition/index/content/2451412045

Although Xtrader is better, TS order entry is not that bad. I scalp and make 50 + trades per day with TS Matrix.No big problem. Problem with TS is their FEED, missing sizes everywhere. TT feed is way better for scalping.

Hello Euler, Thanks for your post. I am not enough motivated to learn a real language like java( with all the trading architecture, data feed process ), and I don't really have the time for it( I trade manually 9 hours a day for a living and can only program in the WE ). What I woulld like is...

Hello, I was a TradeStation automated trader turned manual last year and I would like to give another try at automation with different ideas. What I would like is a trading dedicated environment that can handle : - IB feed and broker - real time bid/asks and B/A sizes from IB feed and...

Thank you all. I knew MRCI but not time and timing. Their spread search engine is really cool, I think I will subscribe to the free trial.

Hello, I'm getting interested in ag seasonality, especially spreads. What are the good books, researchs, websites about seasonality? Do I have to study it commodity by commodity or is there some more universal knowledge to get before? I am interested in grains, meats and softs. Thanks a...

Hello, I would like to know if summer trading period has been beneficial for you this year. For me, it has just been what summer trading is known for aka slow activity, fewer trades, less profit, boredom... It also seems that dumb money takes holidays more than smart money, I am opposed to...

ET, NuclearPhynance, Financial-news us, pro-at( french trading forum ), bloomberg... Sometimes I read sport magazines. I used to watch porn but it's really bad for performances LOL. The more I trade, the more I have to be focused on working orders...and the less I can do other things. Now...

TS is more reliable IMO but excel can handle real time bid/ask quotes, TS Bid/Ask is only snapshot = useless...

Hey IncreaseNow, Why not trade HSI or kospi? HSI is about 2 DAX = 5 FTSE = 18 YM = 42 Corn tier 1 Calendar spreads = 22, 8 fed funds futures against 43,6 live cattle, Kospi is like HSI*1.435( yes, you heard it right ). Make the count... Lots of savings in the commishs....Not to mention the...

I think I get it now... What is statistically considered a fat tail for spreads wouldn't be considered one for outrights because of the less important standard deviation? Still , who trade trends on spreads and who trade mean reversion here?
