Hello, Can someone help me find a good simulator/demo account for US Stocks? One friend wants to give it a try...I know it is impossible to recreate this HFT environment...but I am looking for the closest to reality. Thanks.

Thanks. Fair enough. A lot of times I can't understand how I got a fill according to CME's algorithms but don't investigate further( which is completely stupid ). Generally, second generation implieds are my scapegoat when the brain gets lazy...LOL 500-8K$ per spike several times a day...

Garachen, would you care to share the trades you are talking about if it has dried up? It seems like capturing small spikes with limit orders or something like that.

I have never traded milk options, pit or electronic. I loved milk until around 2012. It had 6-7 ticks spread, a 20 dollar tick and really clean trends. You didn't really have to be a genius to make 1K per day or so...The problem is that sometimes you fall in love too much with a product... Even...

Oh well...I still trade it at times but it has become a lot more efficient... Class 3 Milk:)

This is so true... In 2010 about 70% of my trading income came from one quite obscure instrument, I rent a desk for 3 months at the Board of Trade and the first thing the other trader in the room tell me is " Hi, ( instrument ) trader "...F***...I had never told anybody about it.

LOL @ the black dudes with the red AMG mercedes

Thanks a lot for the work:). It makes more sense now. Did you choose march because it is the most negative margin next year?

There must be something wrong with the typical ratios we use( 1-1-2, 5-4-10...). They all show negative feeding margin while it is supposed to be a profitable period for feedlot operators...:confused: IMO 1 corn contract is not really representative of the input costs...

Ethanol is a really complicated market. Supply and demand depend on Renewable Fuel Standard Policy( the amount of ethanol the government wants blenders to put in each gallon of gasoline ), on the quantity of RINs they can buy as a substitute to ethanol production, on corn and gasoline...

Interesting trade but why did you choose 4-2-8 and 5-3-10? Generally it is 4-3-8 and 5-4-10...
