That, IMO, is an absurd assumption that the prime brokerage business clientele are all "informed" with respect to the outcome of your particular position. Are you hedging a 3 year plain vanilla swap OTC transaction with CBOT Note futures ? Was Amaranth "informed" ? Was LTCM "informed " ...

I prefer complete counter-party anonymity. If I actually knew who was taking the other side of my stuff, I would be scared shit-less and paralyzed no doubt. Besides, it appears that you have no choice in the matter. If you need complete transparency or need to deal with certainty, open a...

Yes, if indeed your business is legal, this is one of those rare generalizations that holds water. Trading has a very low capitalization entry price compared to other business ventures, and from my observations over the years, most traders fail because they do not have an adequate trading...

"We compared polls produced by major television networks with those produced by Gallup and Rasmussen. We found that, taken as a whole, polls produced by the networks were significantly to the left of those produced by Gallup and Rasmussen." abstract exerpt: Evidence of Systematic Bias in...

It's more tolerable if in his subsequent responses he has shown some sort of progress towards doing some proactive and self-directed research himself - which, unfortunately, is seldom the case. RK, you have reminded me to stop feeding the pigeons and I will take your observation to heart.

March 2011, futures spreads exclusively. Very modest max drawdowns, scaleable, very cheap to capitalize with the exchange SPAN margin credits. I took on an S&P 500 pit trader in Feb. who is 7 for 7 with the grain spreads. You do not have to compete with the bots. Guess what, markets trend...

Triple Nickel is a client who went live on March 01, 2011 and has returned 45% on his initial account balance to date. Any serious prospect whom I screen in advance regarding trading skillsets is welcome to contact him and other clients privately and independently. Ask them whatever you want.

Ditto, thanks for the joust ! Well done and take care.

Sheer brilliance. X 2

Ten years ago, I was a very high volume Liffe / Eurex trader. I personally re-invented myself into much more of a swing trader, and the results have been very positive for me in terms of my own trading. I have a client who has returned 45% on his capital since going live on March 01, and...

Two years are hardly a "multi-sigma single day or event-driven move" per se. You ask tons of questions under every subject matter known to mankind, really kinda ADHD almost. Try completing one task first, please.

98% of the people who start a small business fail. 98% of the people who start a restaurant fail. 98% of the college sophomores who declare pre-med ultimately never graduate medical school. 98% of the people who declare themselves as a candidate for US President fail. So what ? Name one...

Get in touch with the NFA immediately - they will actually be much more proactive, diligent and aggressive with him than the CFTC or SEC. Do not try to get others involved, because it is your own funds you are trying to recover. Regan is registered with the NFA and as a member has agreed to...

I would agree that the FoB looks alot like the last week in Jan. / first week in Feb. in terms of levels and extension, my preference would be to wait on the beast to establish a trend change in lieu of strictly timing the market per se. The fisting analogy is most apropo.

Well, they they closed out their NoB's this morning and booked a nonchalant half point. And I was a spectator.

Miz, you really want to have everything laid out for you by others. Why not expend some proactive effort on your part searching around for yourself for some period of time.

After reviewing 27 pages of your post history in terms of any trading knowledge per se, Tetris would be your best bet.

I use ScanExpert, because I need to perform custom studies on several timeframes for the same instrument. I you only use one timeframe on a symbol, most anybody's scanner will work. So, essentially you buy a canned package and adapt your studies and methodologies to it.

Paying for a TT Pro License is not an issue at the moment... I don't suppose you could get me trading access to the EuroMTS cash market ?
