I'm trying to find a site that will allow me to chart historical prices on eurodollar spreads.. z8h9 for instance.. I was using futuresource but there symbology has changed and now I keep getting an "incorrect contract" error. Any ideas? Thanks

august was a local's dream.. it was nice to see paper get its ass handed to it for a month straight.. I was trading bonds that whole month and was having so much fun. Markets operate in cycles so of course it will be back, but any trader can make money in those markets. A good trader is...

Good Thread. Is there a website where I can see price charts of ED's and ED Spreads? Thanks, Supermoney

Hi Guys, I'm been offered a position with a futures group and I need some advice. I was offered a position trading company capital, 50/50 split, two months training, and 2 grand a month draw, 3 year non compete. The guys told me about how bad groups are designed to get guys to do volume...

hey guys, I've been trying to find graphs showing payouts for options hedged with deltas. I know how the positions would look 1 to 1 (1 option, 1 future), but how about buying 100 put spreads and say.. 60 deltas to make it flat? I've scoured the net and there is hardly any info on trading...

A company that I am with pays a salary to its trading groups plus a semi-annual bonus. Being as I am a newly hired clerk. I don't want to start asking all these questions. So has anyone traded on these terms before? Do you actually pull down good amounts of money from these bonuses? Thanks

pure comedy.. Focus on job posting sites. ET won't get you too far in this search. There's a large knowledge base here, but not jobs. If you want a trader position tailor your resume to say that by highlighting things you have done that correlate to trading.

Thanks for the replies.. Market makers function the same way in the options market? How so, considering that options do far less volume? or does the added volatility make up for the disparity in trades?

I was just offered an assistant trader position with a proprietary group that makes markets. Hopefully trading in a few months. My question is how does a "proprietary market maker" earn his living? I'm assuming there's a draw from p/l, but how much can these guys stand to make buying the bid...

I'm also supposed to be going in for the test.. tomorrow morning actually.. how did you guys do? did they let you speak with traders.. or just take the test and leave?
