Your first month of CME data is free regardless of vendor - that’s CME policy.

Getting filled first on Brent Crude just means you’re the first to get your ass run over :D Buying the bid in Dec ‘20 Eurodollars is way different than buying the bid in Dec ‘19 Brent :confused:

Only ICE Energy is pure FIFO. ICE has given us the Gradual Time Based Pro Rata (GTBPR) matching algorithm. NYSE Euronext interest rates are Pro-Rata.

CME is perpetuating the problem by using Pro-Rata order matching in the Eurodollars - which incentivizes order pumping. It’s all on them. Switch to 100% FIFO - problem solved. In fact - Pro Rata is a nightmare waiting to happen. All it’s going to take is someone sweeping the book for 100K...

Short of the downright illegal (like insider trading) - there is no singular "way" or method to make money consistently trading markets. I happen to prefer spread trading for client work because from my experience it tends to be more consistent over protracted periods of time with a wide range...

The Fed stopped QE years ago. Please give it a rest. Repo Market injections and rate cuts help AAPL the least of just about any listed Company.

If earnings are exceeding analyst expectations and the rate environment is favorable - WTF would you rely upon an RSI oscillator that has taken you out of the rally more than a few times on the weekly since 2009? You quite literally would have left half of the move on the table if your metric...

Four Fed rate hikes in 2018 whilst the EU was aggressively cutting rates was asinine. Draghi has been using rate cuts as a means to devalue the Euro vs the Dollar. Call it recompense.

High set on July 26th.

The fact that Iraqi, Turkish, and Kurdish intelligence forces were actively working with the United States I take as a very good sign. And terrorists should know that if you rape, enslave,torture and kill tens of thousands of innocents this is the kind of ending you should expect.

78% of the 206 Companies in the S&P 500 that have reported to date have exceeded analyst expectations, Strong Q3 earnings are a surprise. The Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua pointed to progress being made on trade. If we can manage a close above 3026 it might attract fresh longs into the...

“Realized” means that your position is closed out and your ACTUAL account equity is no longer $100K but $50K. You lost that money forever. Rolling an expiry forward isn’t “realized”.

Your clearing statement equity totals won’t reflect a NET $50K “loss” year-to-year or year-on-year. Does not work the way you describe.

That’s smart. Paying a little premium for Theta and gaining peace of mind and REM sleep. But the OP would be foolish to give up on a reliable consistent strategy

Trade smaller positions before you give up on a reliable, consistent trading strategy.

No FCM is going to give you spread margin credit if you’re wantonly opening and closing spread legs as you’ve described throughout this thread in your posts. That Risk Manager is going to margin you at full outright risk or considering your account equity liquidate your position and close your...

I think that you require professional advice on how a 1031 LIKE exchange works.

Why don’t you just trade one JPY/USD FX contract instead?

The Middle East has been on fire since Israel was granted Statehood. Russia, Britain, France, and the United States have been financing or outright fighting regime change wars ever since.

I hear what you’re saying - it’s a bit suspect. For you to enjoy a SPAN margin credit you have to spread HIGHLY correlated products. If you can manage, as you so generously assume, to be able to accurately predict which of these highly correlated products will be stronger or weaker versus the...
