If you look under http://www.barclayhedge.com/ , the fund is still in business. I wonder though, what is the best strategy to protect against naked options.

Dax is obviously much less liquid , but it moves much faster especially when news are involved. I had x trader and ninja+zen and they were ticking the same.

I totally agree with slapshot. Had pretty much no issues (twice over a year has some weird freezing behavior during very quiet time ). I used to trade DAX, and it is a very fast market. I had 5 charts open (0 delay on each), T&S (real time) and DOM. Also have MacAfee and Spybot on PC...

People always believe what they want to believe. The reality is too painful, who want to deal with it.

If one only performs calculations and sees that even the chance of 1 protein being created by evolution is pretty phenomenal, then what about our whole planet with all it beings. The odds are overwhelmingly support that God does exist. However, people need to realize that the bible did...

Toxic Loans Topping 5% May Push 150 Banks to Point of No Return Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- More than 150 publicly traded U.S. lenders own nonperforming loans that equal 5 percent or more of their holdings, a level that former regulators say can wipe out a bank’s equity and threaten its...

I read 2 articles on bloomerg. It is getting bad. Fair-Value Accounting Is ‘Horror Flick Monster’: Chart of Day Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Investors should beware the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s decision yesterday to consider expanding fair-value rules, said Brian Wesbury...

I have been following Spyder's posts since his futures thread in early 07. While I do not use the method, part of it became important piece of what I do - Dom and Walls. I have not been reading this thread too much, and curious if anyone made any real time calls with this method and if it...

Thanks for the links. I really enjoyed watching the video. It is vey interesting how Paul and Peter did crash correlations and were off just by a few months, which still did not prevent PTJ from making close to 200% in 1987, his best year ever.

Totally true. It only makes sense to pay big $ in Ivy League for the reason state above.

I‘ll give you one situation where this book helped me (there were more than one): There was a part in the book where the situation with rare mink coat was described. All traders in the office were trying to make certain amount to buy the coat, and eventually much higher amounts were lost. I...

Your best bet is CME currency futures - 6E.

And what this has to do with the thread?

A friend of mine just sent it to me: Based on the Rolling Stones article [rollingstone.com] I was able to reverse engineer the core Goldman Sachs trading algorithm: #include int main( int argc, const char* argv[] ) { pump(); dump(); }...

The fund is still alive, the investors decided that after around 90% loss, the worst already happened. The fund made some money over the past few month, but it is a drop in a bucket. The worst thing in the whole story, that the lives of several families got affected badly.

Too bad. IB is the way to go then. I read many horror stories about them, but personally I never had any issues with them and pretty happy with most things.

Hi Keri60, I made a switch to trade KOSPI since late February, but still follow DAX since I know this contract pretty well. You can easily trade around 50 cars on KOSPI without any slippage (i do not trade any meaningful size yet) most of the time. The tick value is around $20. Regards...

It was insane this morning around 9:15 Frankfurt time. The charts went crazy for few min. Anyone was in position during this time?

Hi Shortbleu, Welcome to ET. DAX is a great contract to trade, it is rarely in the small range. When markets get too volatile the spread can easily be 3-5 ticks and even more, that is when it is best not to trade. You definitely do not need 30k eur margin per contract if you only plan to...
