Well, the ES margin is about $2,800. You are looking to make 8.92% daily profit. That means is that you are planning to turn $2,800 into about 6 trillion in one year. That's about half the U.S. gross domestic product.

Hmm, how about this: long 1 NQ 1775.00 stop 1750 $500 - risk $2000 - reward

Indeed, about as rare as the coin landing on its edge when flipped.

About the same as the odds of flipping tails 10 times in a row.

I agree.

But according to dst, futures can have the same price levels in more than one row of market depth, and it's not a bug.

Well, with the SPY as it's shown in the TWS Market Depth Window, this makes sense. Multiple market makers (obviously distinct ones, as indicated by their names) may bid the same price level and may offer at the same price level. But with the ES contract, the TWS Market Depth Window shows only...

So, this means that no TWS upgrade would be required, is that correct? When is the "backend fix" expected to take effect? So, in this case, why is the granularity evident on the bid side, and not on the ask side?

dst, Can you please indicate which TWS release will contain the fix? Also, can you confirm that this fix would address the market depth problem as in the attached image? I believe this is a corrupted DOM as there should be only one price per level for the ES Globex contract. Thanks.

It appears that the results will be released on Thursday, May 7, at 5pm EST.

It's really simpler than what you seem to think. You bid at $100 and offer at $101. I submit an order to buy at $101. The trade occurs at $101. What's the mystery?

It looks like your average trade is about $18 ($49600 total profit divided by about 2700 trades). Is that correct? How did you manage to make 2700 trades in just a few days? Are you running some sort of automated trading system? The other thing to point out is that your broker must be...

Consider automated trading.

Good stuff. Keeps one's reading comprehension skills sharp. :)

I am listening to "Thirteen Moons" while driving. It's a book on CD. Ever since I've discovered that I could listen to books on the road, driving in traffic is a joy. Sometimes I wish there were a congestion on the highway, so that I could get a bigger piece of the story.

Only two moons, actually.

That's not a proof, but a conjecture.

According to my calculations, if both C and BAC go to $0 (and everything else stays the same), the Dow would be only about 48 points lower. This surprisingly negligible effect is due to the fact that the Dow is a price-weighted index.

5 points.

Today's selloff feels laborious, for the lack of a better word. I am long from ES 778 as we are heading toward the close.
