The Yuan can never be a World reserve currency on par with the Dollar - or even the Franc for that matter. The Chinese Communist Party expends huge resources pegging it artificially low against the Dollar. That is one of the central tenets of their trade policy. Chinese exporters that take in...

NASDAQ doesn’t appear to be playing nice with all of this.

And this is how server farms get moved to Nashville and Austin. It truly takes an idiot to think that taxing servers is a captive source of easy tax income.

Don’t even bother. It is for Commercial producers and users - with hundreds of millions of dollars in bonafides. Yes, 1000% vol in Summer hourly markets at times. One of the things you’re going to have to learn is that you don’t want to trade off-hours against other independent traders and...

Look at the PJM-West contracts tomorrow between 7-10am US Central

Those Energy Swaps take a shit ton of capital to trade.

Geez none of that stuff has any volume. Look at the exchange website settlements before you bother - if it has less than 5K daily volume in a particular expiry don’t trade it.

You could sign up for the free demo from TT and trade the CME currency futures. ;) If you stick to the prompt month it will be accurate as the price feed is directly from TT’s servers.

The only demo that I’ve personally seen was the TT demo. https://www.tradingtechnologies.com/try-tt-now/

It’s possible for implied spread orders to get filled when there is a thin market and someone comes in with a firm outright order in June ‘24. But the Oct20-June 24 spread would be very thin as well. Like in the tens - certainly not the hundreds or thousands. There is a common theme here -...

TBH, submitting market orders for 500 and 1,000 lots in ridiculously thin markets is what we call in the business a “fat finger” - it’s a mistake of epic proportions. In fact, in 2002 a brand new trader for Deutsche Bank placed a market order for 2,000 in the Dax during off-hours and it was a...

The composition of the NASDAQ-100 in 1999 looks virtually nothing like the current index composition. I think that it's fair to call it overbought in 2020 - call it a 'bubble' if you want. Other than the name of the index, though be careful about comparisons.

There have been a few of these "I made a billion (millions)" threads started by newbs and they are eventually caught out and several pages into the thread they show a SIM account that is just whacked. One of these guys was supposedly trading Ten Year Note calendar spreads - eventually I told...

Every other car maker in the world would kill to have the EV vehicle miles and the software and the data and the engineering that TSLA has to date. Not to mention the Gig Factories all over the globe.

I'm not sure how many clients I have left that are long NQ short ES as a weighted spread. I got out months ago, because there was no precedent for that scale of a move.

At some point in time you’ll create a hyperbolic thread about the price of isopropyl alcohol.

It means that the ECB is really F***** now. Draghi went really negative rates to devalue the Euro against the Dollar - and now Lagarde has nothing. No bullets.

Thanks for the amusement. Good to know that you are 23% of RJO’s entire customer segregated account capital. :p We can take comfort knowing that you overcame the wide bid/ask spreads. “Con” is a great handle, btw. :rolleyes: https://www.cftc.gov/sites/default/files/2020-06/01- FCM Webpage...

Futures at 3522.25. Time for a new thread. Again. For the XXXXth time.

No irony at all. I sold stocks in December 2019 that I had bought since 2000 and bought STIRS - did the reverse in March on half the balance. Sector rotation works really well in a 401K.
