Just calling out a bomb-throwing hypocrite who makes value statements about others. Because he is an atheist, he allows himself to sit in judgement of others.

Agree completely. Although if you had a substantial deck and got great fills for your clients then all is forgiven. So how close does your arb clerk in the headset stand to you ? Cheek to cheek ? (kidding) The problem with the preachers is that they are saying one thing and doing the...

Stephan, of course. Just dispense with the hypocritical value statements and personal demogoguery. I could care less otherwise.

I will bet you $10K cash that any third party of my peers reviewing my posts will conclude that I know more about trading than you do. You and your "long term stradegy" (and I quote). $1800 in a Best Buy employee 401K plan does not count.

Just as I suspected. You know dick about trading. And you also like to make very personal judgements about other people's belief systems. You love to mete out value statements about others. Your responses get personal and in the gutter rapidly. The ultimate abortion to logic and...

Nobody seemed to complain when the evil speculators crushed oil from $165 down to $35 during the second half of 2008. Saw cuts both ways.

The fact of the matter is that the website is a trading website. And I have yet to find post number one from FT related to trading. Maybe he and his cause would be better served on the Daily KOS with the rest of his ilk.

This entire notion of the government picking winners and losers and setting commodity prices has not worked very well down through history.

Totally unrealistic idealism. Farmers love the high prices. Consumers love the low prices. No way the government could make that choice with so many competing interests. BS false choice and a silly notion.

Last time I checked, NT did not support exchange implied spreads. In fact, the clients I take on with these more 'retail' oriented platforms (including IB) almost always find that they have to switch over to a clearing firm and a platform that will support an exchange implied spread. Most...

More sheer brilliance. What he said also. BTW, you could find faults with just about every human endeavor. And no, restricting speculators would not, in fact, lower prices. At least half of the commerical dynamic hedging community (usually the commercial end-users of the commodity who are...

Do you ever post anything trading related ? Before you retort, please review your post history for the past several months. This is, in fact, a trading forum.

What he said.

CQG IC or TT Pro in "AutoSpreader" mode with a generous payup tic setting. Takes the humanity out of the equation. Of course, mind your exchange message-to-fill policy limitations in terms of automation injecting messages into the ECN.

For me personally, if I experience two losses in a row in the same market, I cut my size back to a pre-determined level.

I have some clients who have made more money by their late twenties than I have made in a lifetime. And of course they did it before they hired me. I've also shared a couple desks with some 'wunderkind'. Personally, I don't have what I would consider to be 'FU' money but I have made a very...

Find consistency. Put together a modest string of positive days. Document everything in a journal in terms of what it took to yield those positive results. Your mindset, your charting, your profit targets, your stop-loss levels, your position sizing. The worm will turn for you when you can...

Simple reversion will not hold up over time, especially for the higher frequency durations. In fact, the "shake" algorithm has been largely abandoned for pairs in stat arb as far as I can tell. What rules are you going to use for a stop-loss ? That is the major consideration in my view.
