A little update on this issue : The error was that IB accidentaly filled my trades in the wrong months( July instead of June ). I made a complaint and they offered to credit my account from what I lost on NYMEX gasoline( 1400$ ). IB is a really great broker, I never thought they would do...

Last time I was in Firenze( 2006 ), I saw one pasta hall next to the Duomo...In fact they used the Duomo as a public pasta hall... No just kidding, last time I got there, all I saw was incredibly cute brunettes, "galeria dell'officio"( boring ) and salad on pizza( unusual for me ).

Hello, I live in France and I have never seen talks on TV, newspapers, or public debates about coming back to francs. In fact, I discovered on ET the need of europeans to reestablish the former currencies...lol. However, I know there are debates in Germany about it, but despite its...

Is it possible to create option positions on 2 different months that would result in an option position on the calendar spread? Let's say July/ September ZC is trading at 12,5 / 12,75 and you want to sell a September call on the calendar spread at 15, can you do it through options positions...

I would really like crude to make a top, but if it isn't, be aware that, from what I know, Johnny is residing in Plan de la Tour ( a nice tiny village near St Tropez ) in the summer and in Annecy in the winter( He can usually be seen in Marc Veyrat's famous restaurant ). This can shorten...

Thanks to Mifid directive, ECNs are supposed to be created soon on Euronext. And I think some dark pools are already available in Germany. NYFIX Millenium Europe is supposed to be created but I don't know if it's available.

Hello, I realized lately that meats are among the few commodities that have more volatility in back months than in front months... I recall someone on this board said it was because of the 3 day averaging effect or something like that... What does it mean? Thanks a lot.

Nothing related to the topic, but is Barbados nice ? I will cross the ocean from Capo Verde in december on my fathers' sailing boat and probably spend one week in Barbados... Thanks for advice... We can still change direction from Africa( LOL )... Barbados is the closest.

Trade the asiatic markets (with IB for example)... Plenty of action there on stocks and futures...

I don't know if there is a link but it reminds me of a simpson episode when Homer is drunk as usual, and Moe gives him a token for a brand new machine called alcohol-o-tester or whatever, and Homer reaches the supremous level called "Boris Eltsine"... Perhaps this "Boris Eltsine" level may...

As I have sometimes traded after a few drinks( in the last hours of trading instead of before trading ), I can say that it's not good for trading: you lose focus, rapidity, you notably forget staged orders if you're used to have a lot, you spend too much time replying to threads thinking you...

Don Bright is the man... The fact that he posts infinite "LOL"'s in his posts makes me feel right about life and stuff... Will you be quoted on WSJ one day ? I doubt...Real pleasure to get such guys on ET.

One day, I happened to make a profitable trade. Chuck was on the other side. The rest is history : http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=127269

Chuck Norris was trading at Tuco and got his money back.. ( well, not so funny... Hope you will, guys )

I didn't watch quotes, but it seems weird, further months have generally less activity and volatility, hence the lower margins the further you trade. It may be a 8$ move due to several days without trades.

LOL... There's just one thing in the entire trading world that Chuck never understood and mastered : It's called a "butterfly".

They called IB apparently 'cause the sales on the phone said they 've been noticed of the bust. I've called the trade desk and they said it was impossible to have the trade back. I don't know ICE trade bust policy but I can state that it's great to be a market maker on ICE if they bust trades...

Not a problem with access to enter trades, problem is they noticed the trade bust one day after it occured. I was arbing ICE vs NYMEX and it's rare that there is any arb available. Yesterday, there was and I got in for 30 ticks on RBOB vs RB. It's true that I was quite off market but not that...

Wow... What an evening. After posting, I had some sort of freeze on TWS and my IPE positions on WTI and HOIL seemed to be offset too. Off course, for each position I had on IPE, I had one inverse on NYMEX, and I immediately offseted my NYMEX positions. After restarting TWS, my WTI and...
