    Making A Killing In Index Futures

    If it's any consolation, anytime you get tired of the bickering on ET you can head on over to pprune for some more bickering!

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    I played the shit out of that in highschool. Lined up those quarters on the glass. All the different super/turbo variations, etc. Good memories. :-)

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    Such a hilarious image to imagine the computer belting out a Ryu-style "hadooouuuuuken!" on market open.

    Black Monday

    Even MORE reason for some to be over leveraged when returns are low.

    Black Monday

    I'm sure Yellen is touching up her speech now on why rate hikes will be delayed until further notice. Further down the rabbit hole we go.

    SGX A50 Index future

    There's also MHI and MCH minis with reduced commissions (although they're not completely proportionally reduced unfortunately).

    SGX A50 Index future

    You need to factor volatility in. It'll move 10 ticks quickly so that 1 tick in commission payed is already fairly offset by a move if you're on the right side. It's like the difference between trading ES vs TF or YM. I'm personally still trying I learn all the nuances of this particular...

    SGX A50 Index future

    I trade this. Fill quality is good. Liquidity is very good. It can be volatile at times with some fakeouts. Price action knowledge and sound trading basics are a must. Keep your stops more than a couple ticks away from where you'd normally keep them - it likes to tick you out. Chop and then...

    IB TWS - Complex (Multi-Leg) Positions Setting Disappointment

    I can personally verify that I've seen myself become the new top of the book at that point.

    IB TWS - Complex (Multi-Leg) Positions Setting Disappointment

    I'm surprised the bid ask spread is even an issue with smart vs native. What happens if you submit a limit order at midpoint with a smart order? Does it just reject you or throw an error? I do this with outrights and futures spreads and never had an issue with smart preventing it and these are...

    Grexit (Greece exiting Euro) what would be the consequences?

    I also consider this a possibility that Greece is just a canary in this experiment that is the Eurozone and EU. You cannot have a sane monetary policy that works for everyone with disparate political structures and no *real* union. This is not the United States of Europe. Also ignoring all of...

    HKEx becomes the largest Exchange Operator

    I'm not sure why we're talking both about both the stock and exchange. Who cares about the exchange's stock. The point is about the instruments on the exchange. It's like saying "CME has the most volume of US futures exchanges" and then critiquing the trading of the CME stock itself. Anyways I...

    Cup on /CL 240 minute looking good

    I don't think this is a cup and handle - its just a range. In fact on some of my medium term charts things looked slightly bearish more than anything if I remember right. There's a continual liquidity area around 59.30 for weeks now that price likes to return to and then bounce off of. And...

    jasinhbca's quest for discipline, knowledge & profits

    Unless a really good opportunity presents itself you might even consider just watching things on Monday. With the whole Greek saga going on things might be quite volatile. Volatility is a good thing for trading but not if its bad directionless volatility.

    Interesting new quantitative mutual fund

    Sorry you're entirely correct that this is new for a mutual find. Even though you originally stated it quite clearly I somehow translated fund and Janus into hedge fund.

    Interesting new quantitative mutual fund

    So a mean reversion fund. I'm surprised this is actually a new thing.
