Just like Alec Baldwin left after Bush's re-election I suppose.

Keep talking about the Republican MILF's, because reality does not bode well for your savior Obama: From Gallup: July 14, 2011 U.S. Satisfaction Slides to Two-Year Low Decline to 16% in July from 20% in June mainly the result of drop among Democrats by Lydia Saad PRINCETON...

Sheer brilliance.

Rationalize and Martin:

Sorry to all, I should have known better than to post an equity shares basket trade into a futures spread discussion... Only real point I was trying to illustrate is that a person does not have to take flat price risk on a singular instrument in order to consistently make money trading...

Agreed - trade indicator package designed for entry on either freshly developed divergence or mean reversion trends. Not designed to be a CFD strategy per se.

Please make sure that you can pass the core engineering coursework before you start gaming out intercompany transfer scenarios - calculus, differential equations, and functions are your biggest consideration at the moment.

The term 'Libitard' is quite moderate. Therefore, the moderator was indeed moderate.

Great find, thanks for the link. More recently there was a Chicago firm who shit the sheets with a Nymex WTI 'lead-lag' strategy - although those losses were survivable given the firm's capitalization. Trader switched on a freshly minted strategy in a super-thin market just a few minutes...

Bam ! I have four diagonals turned sideways for my execution workstation - and they are still tiled into the corners like a giant hand of cards. The modeling workstation screens tan my good side. I have a box of screen wipes to keep all of them clean. Quite a task.

You sound confused. Besides, Lucias already said he was the best there is in the world as a C2 cowboy. Ever read the reviews for the C2 systems ? Yikes.
