Only to suck you into doing something that you'll regret :D

I became expert at working bids and offers on the screen because I was legging into and out of spread trades. I knew where I was going, because I required certain price level differentials and I had the patience to be effective at it. I was trading the price differentials between highly...

Name one piece of legislation that Biden will get done that was in his platform. Keep in mind the Republicans have a strong minority in Congress now (they picked up something like 20 seats) and they hold the Senate. Corporate tax hikes? Capital gains tax hikes? End fracking and fossil fuels...

You are living in real history, because this media and pollster-driven narrative about a sweeping blue wave was just flat out wrong. Again. Sure, Trump probably gets replaced but there is absolutely nothing for Biden to do the next four years other than eat his apple sauce and drink his Sanka.

Jesus to the moon. Learn to love the gridlock. ;) Hispanic vote for Trump way up in Texas and Florida offset the liberal white suburban Moms. Dumbfounded mainstream media and pollsters who got it oh so wrong once again... :rolleyes: Bernie Sander's campaign manager, Chuck Rocha (who is...

Just my own two cents: Wall Street loves gridlock. And that's what we have. No sweeping popular mandate for Joe. No broad blue wave of gains that's for sure - just the opposite, there's now a pretty healthy Republican minority in Congress and it looks like McConnell holds the Senate. No Supreme...

I spent considerable time at proprietary firms and a HF desk. I've also done extensive consulting for these firms. From my observations, quite a few of the automated trading bots are built to "game" the order book and the order queue. They exist and indeed thrive to lure then squeeze small...

Keep in mind that the Bots and Algos and the flippers play all sorts of games with the order book in terms of creating the appearance of bias by stacking the book and flipping size bids and offers. And depending on the exchange there is order crossing to create the false impression of a price...

Minority business owners getting looted and ransacked and burned out by the Maoist wing of the Democratic Party. Sounds about right.

Well, to get back to the OP, I just don’t see Biden giving China a free pass. If he cancels economic tariffs he’s going to have to go for economic sanctions for human rights abuses and /or extra-judicial territorial claims. If he gives China carte Blanche - he loses both houses in ‘22. Not to...

To view the implied prices as disseminated by the ICE Gateway host in the inside market, you must select the Include Implieds in Market columns and in Depth checkbox under the Trading tab of the X_TRADER®Properties window. Alternatively, you can view the implied prices separately in the Implied...

The Bund ain't what it used to be. Not by a long shot. The US Ten Year Note future trades about twice the daily volume. Eurex pretty much destroyed the market in early 2000's by letting the Bank Members get by with all kinds of shady shit, including outright market manipulation of both the...

This is an incredibly naive and misplaced POV. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/10/02/biden-trump-trade-wars-election-2020/ https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-election-biden-china-idUSKBN27E2BI For the sake of argument, even if Biden were to lift the tariffs, he would replace them with human...

About ten years ago, (as I recall) there was a flurry of enforcement action from the CFTC and the NFA on firms that were deducting "education" and "training" fees from what the customers were led to believe was trading account equity. The CFTC has very strict rules about segregated customer...

That's not really true on the futures side. There are firms like DRW and TransMarket Group who hire traders as employees, pay them on a W-2, and have a full benefits package like medical insurance and paid vacations. They pay you a bonus depending upon your performance. And before you dismiss...

I've been through this with the OP in other threads. If he does not have implied pricing enabled, he will not be able to see the exchange supported orders for the dated expiries. The exchange supported spreads account for the vast majority of traded volume and bids and offers for the dated...

To be fair, building hotels in China and importing branded Chinese goods for resale is more entrepreneurial than sending your crackhead kid to collect bribes in the form of phony board remuneration fees and “loans” with no repayment terms. And I do think that government business should NOT be...

Has Xi been a real estate developer since 1971? I thought not. The Trumps have been trying to develop real estate in China for decades now, so there is indeed a plausible commercial reason for the bank account. If you know anything about China, it’s not very practical to conduct business...

Enable implied pricing. And I’m not confident that the SIM environment has all of the dated expiry implied/exchange supported data.
