I also have many clients clearing Crossland. A great firm and I have not heard negative things about them from my clientele.

I don't think that either of those statements are good assumptions. What you are not really acknowledging in your mind is that the mechanical details required to automate the trade - which I alluded to in my previous post here, you have not addressed. Those details are a much larger and more...

Comintel, he is being incredibly sarcastic there - it is called "the widowmaker" for a very good reason. Please google the phrase "Bryan Hunter Amaranth CFTC final report". If you had charted the cracks using tic data, or even one minute data, you wouldn't have entertained that notion either...

Dio: how constant over time are those yields ? I saw someone talk about using the identical strategy for Activision Blizzard (NAS: ATVI), where they picked up 3.2 % yield in six weeks on full premium. In other words, what are the metrics over time - like for calendar 2010 and YTD 2011 ?

The OP is getting a bit ahead of himself in terms of a firm's appeal for his existing body of work, quite possibly the better route would be some academic credentials and an approach into a firm as an analyst with some applied, practical knowledge in the art. I use the term "appeal" in the...

3:2:1 Crack with "somewhat" standard 2 RBOB: There is no truly "standard" crack spread configuration in the eyes of a refinery and from a pure analog hedging aspect. Each refinery's output varies according to the way that particular plant is configured for a 'run' at that point in time...

Stock 777 appears to be the best fade on the board. Keep them coming !

This is clearly George Bush's fault.

This is the way I've always done them: So, if I want to buy it, I buy two HO Cracks and I buy one RBOB Crack, which would leave me long 2 HO, long 1 RBOB, and short 3 CL.

Not in ICE, but in the Nymex analog and much closer to the front of the curve. Thanks for sharing - great add ! Do you trade any Nymex 3:2:1 Cracks ?

Rose and others, in the interest of keeping the conversation going, and not keeping the onus strictly upon me, please feel free to post something informational in nature.

I've been long March 12 Wheat and short July 12 Wheat for going on three full weeks now. Agree about getting too cocksure about markets - they always find a way to remind us of our foibles.

Well, maybe someone else can post something constructive and informational for a change - the sniping and ankle biting is easy. Maybe one of the bomb throwers would like to be helpful, perhaps ?

Oh, I have losers. Who doesn't ? For that matter, just about every trade is typically underwater at some point in it's lifespan. Anyone needing to deal in absolutes should definitely NOT be trading. In terms of winners vs. losers, I typically see 55 to 75 % in my clients, with low to...

While I have been flowing 1256 income in the form of blended capital gains into my individual tax returns for almost 20 years now, I started the LLC because from time to time I have employees as traders, and also to accomodate the liability protections from other business activities. In terms...

This is clearly Bush's fault. And the Tea Party. And Standard & Poors. And the tax rates. Maybe this is actually Michael Vick's fault, perhaps ?

How does "having a much more talented team than Philly" not "bode well for Rodgers" ? Please explain how having the fourth youngest team in the NFL with that level of talent "not bode well" for the almighty Aaron Rodgers ? Do you not have any regard for the God that is Aaron Rodgers ? Kneel...

that would be the weak, goofy people that bought into his spin - namely progressives and liberals for the most part ?

Is it possible that I have a man crush on Aaron Rodgers, and Wild Child has a man crush on Michael Vick ? BTW, they are both equally worthless lying on their backs courtesy of shitty offensive line blocking. And your comment regarding Vick's rushing capabilities and elusive scrambling are...

Typically, you leave your CV and track record with specialist head hunters and they come calling on you as the trading firms forward hiring requirements and postings to said headhunter. The trick, of course, is getting the head hunter to buy into you as a valuable piece of ass to pimp...
