Well, Illinois is just a utopian nirvana for progressive Democrats. The entire government apparatus in Illinois has been completely dominated by the Democratic party. Illinois chose to address the 'revenue shortfall' by sharply raising taxes on individuals and corporations. Why? Because...

I have no idea where you get the idea that a bank desk or a hedge fund is going to let you sell into a rally for weeks and months on end. The guy running that desk or the PM will not suffer that drawdown - guards will escort you out the door. It is a collective effort for monthly performance...

Wrong, that's not "smart" money, because if you do that you will rapidly run out of capital or get fired for the drawdown. Can't do that in the real world, whether it's your own money or someone else's.

The price of crude has turned the stock market, it will thwart QE2, it has already lit the inflation fuse, and the fact that the Obama administration has used the BP spill as a foil to stop domestic oil production has ensured his tenure as a one-term President. At full production, the U.S. is...

I could definitely see the case for fresh newly established shorts from "smart" money entering the market in here. 1218 and then 1126 would be your targets. Once we tip over a bit more into 1250 range they will add to it and press.

To me this thing is like the Bund vs. US Ten Year - why bother. I would never slight anyone who had this thing nailed cold and could consistently take money out of the thing, but honestly, there are certainly about 500 'better behaving' futures spread combinations out there.

Mark my words, this will be a very big issue next year. In fact, by all rights, it should be a defining issue for him. He has no standing to blame Bush for this beauty. I can't see us paying $2.55 for a gallon of gasoline in October 2012, and Obama has done everything humanly possible in...

The fact of the matter is that the Obama administration has by design and intent leveraged the BP Gulf Oil spill into a two year moratorium on domestic crude oil production, and apparently this will be policy during the entirety of his administration. In 2009, according to the DOE and the...

Anyone doubting the source of these quotes as clients trading my system in the live markets is welcome to independently contact them provided they are cleared by me as legitimate prospects interested in retaining me for consulting services. All others pound sand.

Fascinating how the worst candidates throw their names up there first - Gingrich, Romney, Palin not by formal announcement but by every other means, Bachmann ditto Palin, etc. Trump, interesting but probably not very practical. Daniels, maybe. There are about fifteen or twenty "young...

"If the election were held today Obama would win easily. " I don't think that's a foregone conclusion by any stretch. Charlie Cook foresees more bloodshed for Dems in the 2012 election cycle and thinks the Senate is entirely in play. The problem for the GOP is that the really good candidate...

More client feedback from the live markets: "By the way - I'm hanging in there - had a great day on monday - +$1800 (I forget how many trades I had). Today and yesterday were slow. Had a couple of losers (small) and just couldn't get a feel for things, so I hung back. ($500) between the...

Boze, this is how it gets done on an institutional pro level (two prominent choices, there are more): http://www.tickit.com/automated-spreader.html http://thomsonreuters.com/products_services/financial/athena_trading/athena_trading_solutions/athenaspreader/?view=Standard

This is why Brownian Motion systems are very conditional with respect to ATS development.

It stands to reason that this is one place where being cheap is a really poor decision.

The progressive 'Free Thinkers' preach tolerance but waste no time passing judgement on the belief systems of others. Except for Islam and Sharia Law, that's off-limits.

Speaking of being in 'the right place'; over ten thousand posts and counting from you, Optional777, and not one of them has anything to do with trading. I just looked through the last twenty pages of your posts and gave up - not one entry about trading. But you sure don't mind making value...
