MSNBC can hire him. They hired Al Sharpton, after all.

IB is terrible for spread trading - every client that comes to me clearing IB switches over to a clearing firm who offers the spreads to begin with but most importantly knows how to correctly margin the spreads. The exchange-supported implied spreads are a beautiful development and IB sucks...

This is a post from over in the Futures Spread Trading Thread here in the Educational Forums section - a reply regarding an earlier post from this ET Member ( and several others ) requesting from me some background information on the specialty that is spread trading and intermarket arbitrage...

No thumping of a bible (do I own one ? if so, where is it I wonder to myself. I recall using one in the past as a weight for gluing something ). I have a deep-seated aversion to judgemental people who so easily bestow vitriolic value statements upon others. And that includes atheists...

Idiot - if you and Frits do not even know what a spread actually is in terms of position construction and contract sizing, if you cannot properly mark a spread in terms of P&L, if you do not know how to margin a spread correctly, and especially if you cannot chart a spread correctly - then why...

Pee Drinker, other than the cut and paste functionality where you like to lift the material from other people's work, favor us - is there an original thought in your head ? Can you form a cogent and logical arguement without being a bomb throwing prick ? Please die already, apparently you...

Well, there is this huge lie that just because someone is an atheist and a far left winger that somehow they have a superior intelligence than the rest of us mere mortals. Pee Drinker, Gabfly, TradingJournals, are dolts. Seriously. Cretins. They cannot frame an arguement or build a case...

Yep. Agree 110 %

More like Obama is MSM friendly to the extreme.

Through extreme gaming and conivery they get all the scalpers levered one way, and then flip them. It never bothered me because I spread traded - in fact, I appreciated the liquidity. The markets are never what they appear to be, and whatever you do, please do not lean on size.

The smarter quantitatively that my clients are - the more difficult they are to work with. Never underestimate a person's ability to psychologically sabotage themselves and a perfectly good trading system. There is a saying amongst the old hands: "the dumber the better". The worse...

Ask the overnight guys in Eurex from 1997 to 2008 if price action works. They got flipped and fucked continuously by Harris Brumfield and Paul Rotter. There is so much order crossing, quote stuffing, order queue gaming, and spoofing going on in the market (especially during "off hours") that...

I don't recall the politicians campaigning on, and the voters asking for, LBJ's Great Society, or for Bush's Prescription Drug Program, or for Obamacare, or the Obama Stimulus Plan, or for TARP, or for Vietnam, Iraq, or for Afghanistan, or for Libya, or for the original Gulf Wars, or QE 1,2,3...

Ummm... he trades grain spreads according to fundamentals, and believes technical models and black boxes are shit. He is perfectly content in his own little construct of how things are supposed to work. On the plus side - he is managing a scam list over in the educational forums for...

You are not referring to Illinois. Indiana, yes. Iowa, quite possibly. Illinois, definitely not.

You left wing atheist hypocrites are a funny bunch. You left wing hypocrites fervently support a man who on numerous and frequent occasions acknowledges his belief in Jesus Christ as his personal savior, and he ends every speech with the words: "and God Bless the United States of America", and...

Come back to earth and look at every major polling metric published. Look at the economic metrics. Obama would win your vote and that is a given, but he is cratering with support amongst independents. He is losing Latinos.

I am by far and away not an NG specialist - for me, it is a spread vehicle to trade power heat rates.

If Obama, his staff, and his cabinet members had displayed any sort of competency we wouldn't be having this discussion. If a dumb-ass Texan gets elected, it's because the intellectuals had no fucking idea how to get anything done in the real world. By the way, all of you hypocrits support...

Stock, the fact of the matter is that you and Frits (like all C2 jockeys and $5K retail account punters) do not know what a spread is, and you certainly cannot chart one for yourself. B. Hull is a former exchange analyst with no trading credentials and has a record of trolling me in other posts...
