    New Measure of Investor ‘Fear’ as CBOE Introduces Weekly VIX Products

    0.01 IMO. Just make the spreads and outrights have the same tick size.

    Hillary proposing higher short term capital gains taxes

    This sounds like total cherry picking and I don't believe for a second this is why new immigrants come here. They come here because of absolute lack of opportunity or forward outlook in their own countries not to exploit the system. Heck the vast majority of "illegals" who arrive here work...

    New Measure of Investor ‘Fear’ as CBOE Introduces Weekly VIX Products

    Anyone else think weekly VIX futures are kinda weird and probably won't get any volume?

    New Measure of Investor ‘Fear’ as CBOE Introduces Weekly VIX Products

    CBOE Holdings Inc. is introducing another way for investors to bet on its “fear gauge.” The firm is narrowing the timeframe of certain futures and options in an effort to make the derivatives more closely track its volatility gauge. There’s often a gap between the CBOE Volatility Index, a...

    Bypassing IB minimum deposit by opening account in wife's name

    You may be fine from an opening an account aspect but you're not remotely fine from a capitalization standpoint. This is a bad idea IMO.

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    Anyways. What's everyone's ideas for next week? Continual sell off or temporary reversal to punish the shorts and then resume selling off? Seems like we've still got some remaining earnings results to get through although a large portion of the more hyped names have already reported.

    How long did it take you to become a **consistently** profitable trader?

    Haha yep - like 4+ pages of 2 dudes going back and forth with each other. Too bad it didn't hit full retard with a random 12 paragraph peyote driven mind dump from jack hershey.

    The Banks are at it again

    Until the government not only fines to remove all profit (+additional damages) AND starts CRIMINALLY prosecuting these entities we'll see this again and again and again. The banks know they can get away with almost anything at this point. Thieve a shit load of illicit profits then pay a fine...

    Hillary proposing higher short term capital gains taxes

    Its just BS campaign speech. None of these people are going to do anything they actually say if elected. The position of president isn't even where the real power is but unfortunately Americans either lack the critical thinking capacity or discipline to actually care.

    CME Fined Trader $55,000 for ‘Spoofing’ Treasury Futures

    I notice "them" doing this other thing lately where they bound something on both sides with larger orders far out on the bid and far out on the ask - almost as if they're trying to hold the price within a narrow range. I'm also convinced that even though some of these larger orders fill that...

    How to best represent partial trade liquidation in backtest reports

    Well you're totally free to do that, I just meant store the trades per row and represent the position as a calculation based on the trades. Maybe I'm missing something here and you're just talking about a spreadsheet or something. I figured you were talking database. Either way - the position is...

    Losing Trades Archive

    Not a loss, but this definitely annoyed the shit outta me: I killed off TWS so Sierra would keep the orders up just to show how dirty that was.

    How to best represent partial trade liquidation in backtest reports

    How would there be multiple exit dates for the same line item? Surely you're giving each *trade* its own row. I don't see how you have to track anything additional here. Positions are based off of trades, they're not something you store and modify - although if you have 1000s of them you can do...

    CME fields complaints on soy crush spread after futures pits close

    Bone I think their contention is that in theory anything is possible on the screen but in practice its not happening as planned. Aside from the consider the source angle this wouldn't be the first occurrence of higher ups making a decision without consulting the on the ground types on potential...

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    Shouldn't be too difficult now that they've "leaked" their own opinions due to a "glitch."
