By the way, is your firm trading only financial or physical as well?

Lol...I hope it won't become like rates where everyone had the same position at the same time until it eventually stopped working... It seems weird because my trades are based on multiple strategies, some on seasonals, some on the curve "inefficiencies", some on fundamentals... But we tend to...

Does someone know what Igor was able to generate in his prime? I remember reading somewhere that Paul Rotter was making something like 50m$ per year spoofing...

Thanks a lot for this. I loved his book, he is definitely a great trader. What is fun is he doesn't look like he has a deep understanding of the markets:" More than 90 % of options expire worthless" " European options didn't move when the VIX did" "Virtu only had 1 losing days so they must be...

Really strange market. Former price spikes in February and March inverted 2015 crop and this new one 2014 crop. As if the former were acreage driven and this one stocks driven...Whereas news are just saying the contrary...

Scratch @ -1.77. It was going nowhere. Too late to the show.

I remember there was a journal 10 years ago from someone affiliated with him residing in the Virgin Islands. It was a pretty good journal.

Short Mar/May 16 Cotton @ -0.17 on seasonals Short Oct15/Mar16 Soybean oil @ -0.53 on seasonals Short May/Jun Milk @ 0 on a curve play. On any of those spreads I wasn't able to get even 1/2 of the desired position. I guess they will be good trades...

I guess it is not indefinitely stockable like soyoil and in greater demand in general.

So I guess it is the same as Prophet X, intraday it uses stale quotes which results in false curve...

-0.8... It 's like I don't have a clue lately.

Indeed you can with DDE links but its a pain in the ass to look for every IB contract number to create a "combo"...

I have it real time on DTN Prophet X but IB settlement curves are in fact more useful. Stale quotes on one expiry make real-time completely false...You always have to recheck with previous day settlement. What would be great is one real time curve based on native spreads midpoint but most of the...

What is this? I thought it was the soybeans curve and you meant ZM V/Z was linked to ZS U/X, but ZS U/X never traded at a carry recently...

A bunch of post-report long old crop/ Short new crop volume sent it back to my entrypoint...Check the curve. If that's not a screaming buy, I don't know what is... What do you guys think?
