We are already there. And creating fresh entitlement programs was sheer stupidity - on both Bush and Obama's parts. Looking at the CBO figures, we could cut defense spending completely and tax the top 5% of wage earners at 90% and the progress would take decades (literally) to make up the...

Regarding the OP's original question: I discourage generalizations. However, generally speaking, you will find most experienced traders will fade highly volatile multi-sigma single day or event-driven moves and trend-trade the subtle grinding markets.

I got filled on the balance of my resting bids today to cover a short Dec 11 vs. Dec 12 Eurodollar position I have been nursing along for several weeks. Some of my clients bought Shatz vs. Sept. 13 Euribor last week but I was not as clever.

I think it illustrates why spreads, especially in the energy markets, are a trader's wet dream with the proper modeling. Got this email from one of my clients late this morning who started training with me October 2010 and transitioned into trading live in April: Crazy day today in oil...

By the same token, offering three years of benefits at a level which makes lower scale employment unattractive is simply not sustainable. Please take a look at US Federal expenditures and the annual GDP - taxes on the rich, even at 100%, are futile at this rate.

ProfLogic, you are making alot of stuff up here about what I trade and what I know. I never once insulted you or got personal, the same cannot be said for you so knock that shit off and get off your pedestal of pretty charts and oscillators on one minute data. Maybe keep things on point. I'm...

Other than bid/ask liquidity both would be equally useless for making a trade entry decision, IMO. There are two counterparties to every trade, and an intiating party (liquidity taker) is not necessarily smarter or for that matter more germaine to your position's welfare and eventual outcome...

I am not passing judgement per se on MRCI - in fact, I believe them to be a very legitimate firm. The only point I am making is that a properly designed trend following price model will pick up the fundamental or seasonal aspect if indeed it affects the price of said commodity. The...

This is in regards to Richard Regan and the Pro Trading LLC training network which apparently operated out of Chicago: QUOTE]Quote from trader1993: Thank you for all the comments. I think f**ed- over guy will be my new nickname or perhaps a trading firm I will start up. Sounds about...

Man, you can really tell who actually trades live capital in this thread.

It would appear that any educator that packages training along with prop trading would require a great deal of due diligence by the potential client. In fact, any educator requires a great deal of due diligence. My opinion is that the quasi training / brokerage business model is probably not in...

Based on what has transpired in another thread currently unfolding, it would appear that any educator that packages training along with prop trading would require a great deal of due diligence by the potential client. In fact, any educator requires a great deal of due diligence. My opinion is...

If you are referring to 'seasonals' as in Jake Bernstein I would say stop immediately and walk away from the screen. If you are referring to MCRI I would say 'iffy'. Trade a price model IMO.

Stop making sense. You are ruining this for me.

I just PM'd the OP to ask if he was sincere and forthright - and to add some supporting details if that would be the case.

Well, are you a poor judge of character, or is the OP "trader1993" a liar ?

Longer duration = more trading range; compare the volatility and daily trading ranges for the further dated contracts in the STIRS

And for three years. And they all stay on it for three years... they won't even start considering a $10 per hour job until that runs out.

Increasing federal debt will be a growing burden on government action, crowding out lawmakers’ ability to adopt tax and spending priorities in good times and reducing flexibility during recessions, all while making a fiscal crisis more likely and hindering long-term growth, the nonpartisan...
