I kinda maybe do the same thing by using and overlaying several timeframes, and of course I look for confirmation between timeframes. The timeframes are filtered according to the volatility metrics for the instrument of interest - in other words, I don't need all the planets to be in perfect...

I found my way into trading commercial energy with luck and timing: I was a degreed engineer at the country's largest utility who also happened to lease a CBOT seat and trade bonds. When the utility wanted to start up an energy trading desk in the early 90's it was a simple departmental...

I mean this as a complement: you are about two steps away from a stat arb model and my sense is that you don't recognize the fact. You are fading these micro standard deviations and you really do understand the micro-architecture of the markets. Stops are a recognition of a trading range...

No, I get the cash market quotes five ways from Sunday. I can clear New Edge and MF BUT because I am a bloody Yank the pricks will not let me actually physically for reals playa trade the cash - capitalization is NOT an issue, I can cash-and-carry positive basis into delivery for size. I...

Yeah, I know all about the beta scatter plot functionality on the Bloomberg. Got access to EuroMTS ? Pretty please ?

Do you have direct access to EuroMTS ? Please say yes.

Yeah, CME rolled out Globex2 in 1999... you must be so proud. I bet you wore your hair shorter way back when too. Tell ya what, Champ. Go ahead and pack that bowl again, the night is young for you.

SLE, do you have an Eonia data feed ?

I think you posted too soon before reading my OCO comment regarding SLs. If you feel the same way after reading about the OCO features, then you are missing a very important feature.

You are missing the OCO feature which you can tier to work in conjunction with and simulaneously for your primary SL. For example, if I miss the Dax SL on a 5 tic payup range, I can go to the CAC-40 via resting OCO, if I get a partial fill on the CAC-40 I can OCO the balance to the DJ...

Bingo - paying retail clearing rates for one license key at TransAct or Velocity. Over a DSL line because that is what Globex2 is for. Phone lines and hand-helds in the pits. With that $5K account you must feel terrified. Try your own dedicated line and a co-located server jackass.

Every client I have is using either TT or CTS or CQG IC or Apama or Portware or Fidessa. I would guess 60 % TT, 30 % CTS, and the balance are using esoteric really big ticket platforms. Three clients using CQG IC - one in Newport Beach, one in Australia, and one in the UK. Clearing Man...

No I am not. I pay $1800 every month for a TT Pro License because I am faster than you are. There is nothing faster. You get what you pay for. Again, since 1997 I have covered every doomsday scenario you mentioned... more, actually. In fact, the biggest day I ever had was using the...

You retail wanks in the UK must not like dealing with twelve-year old technology. My TT Gateway does it all, and does it way better than yours. I am faster and better because I can afford it. Pay up suckers. http://www.cmegroup.com/globex/files/Trading_Technologies.pdf

Stop Limit, Stop Market, Market on Open, Trailing Stops, and Order cancels Orders. The Limit pull-down tab allows you to specify the tic range you are willing to allow to fill the order - you can make it 0 tics or you can make it 500 tics if you wanted. And that is the trick, don't be tight...

Still another retail idiot who knows dick about trading but spreads his ignorance far and wide. If you do NOT use the default settings, and widen out your execution level range, it has always worked for me for 14 years and running. If you could afford TT maybe you wouldn't open your mouth...

1. I've been using X-Trader SL orders since 1997 and they have worked brilliantly and without failure through LTCM, 09/11, the Dax sell-off debable DB fat finger debacle on Eurex, 600 point trading days in the Dow in 2008, and through the flash crash, so yes they work quite nicely and have been...

The trend is clearly not your friend: Friday, June 24 Race/Topic (Click to Sort) Poll Results Spread President Obama Job Approval Gallup Approve 45, Disapprove 47 Disapprove +2 President Obama Job Approval Rasmussen Reports Approve 46, Disapprove 53 Disapprove +7

What, you doubt that TT X-Trader supports a Stop Limit Order ? I am sitting here looking at the SL, SM, OCO, and TSL order buttons in my order ticket windows as we speak you stupid retard - I use them all the time.

From Reuters: "Chicago lost a hefty 200,000 residents in the last decade, most of them African-Americans, while suburban counties grew dramatically in numbers and diversity, according to 2010 census data released Tuesday. People continued to spread out far from the region's urban hub, as...
