Never traded bonds but this is as messy as it gets. IB - I hope you guys are working on this.

A little correction - Where you land post your 2 years at a top B-School gets determined more by how much "hard work" you have done at the School rather than networking/partying/travelling aspect. :) Wishing you the best.

Its cool that the idea has impressed the ET Lord! :) I choose those colors just to explain my idea. Please feel free to modify those colors as your deem fit. I hope we are going to see this in production soon.

Good points. Thanks :)

CME Exchange fee is 1.14 not 55 cents, so a round trip on ES costs 4.02 (2.01 per trade). 55 cents is for futures options.

Curious if you got any leads till now?

heywally, Frankly, thats some extreme planning you are doing there. Sill, i don't think you considered following scenario: Some big bad news happen say a nuke strike or whatever and ES sells off 80 points and they shut down the market. Your stop is 100 points down, so your stop doesn't...

Such an improvement will allow a user to quickly get to the content he wants to read. What say guys and Baron :) ???

So, instead of the current main page displaying like below: Best trading system Using a hedge instead of a stop Ninja license “You see, the medicine will become the poison.” The Return of Glass-Steagall? the main page will display as: (elitetrader.com/vb page will also have such...

How cool it would be if we the users can rate the threads they like on a scale of 1 to 5 and the fonts in thread titles get displayed using different colors depending upon the ranking of the thread for that particular user!! This will add a huge amount of customization for each user - and so...

NT, MC etc. are useful if you are a complete newbie starting out. However, as you become advanced you will find that a lot of things you want to test are not testable due to infrastructural and design limitations of these software. So, as you become advanced and successful, you will be forced to...

It is my opinion that there is nothing to worry here if you have 5-10 contracts. However, it is just an opinion and I haven't tested this. Few months ago, there was a twitter news saying obama dies in a terrorist attack. ES dropped 15 points or so within a minute or two. Go, find that date...

Thanks for sharing your experience. So, apart from having one point of source for interactive with IB, what other benefits did you experience by this arrangement? Specifically: 1) Did you experience a significant better service from this one representative like he would pick phone within 2-3...

abattia - I don't want to comment on all the patterns and what happens to them over the long-run as there are too many factors and no one knows what will happen in the long run, in the sense which factor will outweigh others, how markets will change etc. But specifically the Jan effect has...

He is already simulating, so a large variance or small, he should be getting the correct mean value. His question is: when he is using IVs > HVs, then also straddle PL is negative. Why?

fair point.

You have already mentioned that IV is usually higher than HV. 1)My first question would be which product are you simulating straddles on? 2) On this product, what is the difference between actual HVs and IVs? Is it 1.3:1 or more in real life. I have never run this test, so I am just trying to...

Your simulations will differ from reality because of this assumption. This assumption is incorrect in reality so your simulation will actually end up preparing for real life through testing a faulty model. A better approach is bactesting on actual historical data and then if you want to...

Lots of truth to this statement.

This thing caught my attention. Can you write in more detail what exactly are the benefits of this special support line and how one can qualify for this special support line from IB?
