    Is mike vick worth it?

    The OP had a simple premise: define Vick's relative worth. In order to define value, we have to compare performance versus the capital outlay. The simple fact of the matter is that Rodgers has guaranteed money about half of what Vick's guaranteed money is, and yet Rodger's 2010 regular...

    Future account with 5k...which brokers?

    Well, to be fair, your OP had no detail in it and taken on face value it did appear to be a very foolish and novice premise with respect to trading outright futures. Thanks for adding the color.

    Good Spread to Automate?

    Well, careful what you wish for - that is most definitely an adult swim. Maybe shine just enough light on your strategy to get some constructive feedback about the efficacy. Momentum, perhaps ? There is no arbitrage or market-making in there, per se because of the extreme volatility.

    X 2. Very sound reasoning all around. You had better have your shit wired very tight before you risk dollar one in the live markets. Your capitalization is such that you really can't afford much in the way of drawdowns - especially if you rapidly put into a position where you are forcing trades.

    Is mike vick worth it?

    Like WildChild, you are avoiding the OP's original question regarding is he worth it ? Being worth something, and deserving something, are actually two completely seperate issues. Is Michael Vick worth so much more than Aaron Rodgers when the hard performance metrics do not even remotely...

    Entry is generated and taken. The only spread traders that I am personally aware of who can make any money with any modicum of consistency playing 'rich-cheap' and fading established trading ranges are fly and condor strategists - and of course, that is not free money either. I get the...

    Is mike vick worth it?

    You should be showing video highlights of the Packers versus Eagles playoff game, which answers the question from the OP: Aaron Rodgers has a contract through 2014 with HALF the guaranteed money as Vick.

    I don't know how anyone could consistently trade a two-legged futures spread for mean reversion since the year 2006, mate. We model for diversion. In terms of "knowing", well, if you need to deal in absolutes you are in the wrong business. If you doubt otherwise, by all means, keep on doing...

    We had a buy in Brent V1-Z1 on Aug 19th, but the better trade was the buy in Gas/Oil V1-Z1 which appeared earlier on Aug 05. Since we don't like to replicate forward curve exposure in the same space, most clients bought the Gas/Oil and passed on the Brent. Gas/Oil also rolls later than Brent...
