Why would you want to trade those when all the real action is in FTSE A50 futures on SGX? This is just CME doing it's thing.

I can see their marketing is working. Go look at the skylake stuff I referred to earlier. Same chip.

Where the heck is Rickshaw Man? Tonight's his kinda night.

IB fits your bill.

There may not be but as a thought experiment you could take two separate weeks of both COT and OI data, measure the deltas, and roughly extrapolate from there (and also consider that most spec OI will be near the front).

Completely unnecessary given that it's just a Skylake based processor of which the i7 variant also is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylake_(microarchitecture) Do you really need "System Bus 9GT/s, max memory bandwidth of 34.1GB/s dual channel memory"? Seriously doubtful you'll see *any*...

I just find it amazing/suspicious how the contract hit a key level, then suddenly no one can open new positions when rolling to the next dec contract, it dumps hard, then everything is normal with trading allowed again.

So revisiting this after some time... If I take what you say literally, we have: dec-jan jan-feb feb-mar mar-apr apr-may may-jun Which of course simply cancels out to just dec-jun. However, we know that between dec-jun there could be all manner of stuff going on that could dislocate the...

As expected, it dumped hard. "Amazingly" IB is now allowing trading on this product again - but not before everyone missed out on that trade. Note: the "allows new positions part" is approximate, as I haven't been trying it every day or anything, but it did work last night.

Unless there is an independent audit of their switching fabric then consistent cable lengths mean squat. They could still incentivize by prioritizartion of traffic post cable.

Which FTSE futures are you looking at? Last I looked Z (ICEEU) wasn't exactly thin. Definitely not as thin as FDAX.

The reason you're not going to be able to trade ES with 2000$ is you'll be risking over 5-10% of your account just to have a reasonable stop loss given how ES acts. Even a 1pt stop is 2.5%. So you either have to have great entries and expectancy or you'll just get nickel and dimed to zero. This...

Use the search function dude - it's been discussed a million times before. The site doesn't revolve around you.

Yeah I'm not disagreeing with it at all and I do it myself. But when you have a great trade, and it's highly evident it'll continue, you *should* add.

Yes and this is perfectly prudent plus a great idea in general. However it's not mutually exclusive with pyramidding - which is purely a function of just how well said bets are working for you. I think one of the things you're implicitly focusing on is the psychological aspect of big positions...

Picked up 2 more ES APR 1850 puts. Sticking to my plan, this is the start of the fade zone. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, and it's not like the entire account is being wagered on it. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit more bag transferring going around between now and FOMC. Hopefully not 6 months of...

Who said anything about arbitrary? The post was partially tongue in cheek. What I really meant is ill look to see how things go between 2000-2020-2040 but I'm not ready to short the pig quite yet.

Waiting for 2k myself. Envisioning a bunch of "SPX 2000" hats are being worn out there right now.

For fucks sake, if you can buy long puts then you can just as easily buy your short puts back. And don't say "but it wouldn't be at the same strike" either because that's what you were implying with your "2 accounts" nonsense. You are going to receive quite the interesting real world education...

Do you even know what vega and gamma are? Let me tell you what they are: they're the things that are going to tear you a new one because you refuse to listen to those who've been there before you. I can't tell if we're being trolled here or you're really that hard headed/unwilling to listen -...
