currently only trading US ags/energies, but have decided to expand the desk and branch into several other products. What is best US FCM for clearing Eurex and ASX trades? taking into consideration everything, but mostly for total product access (current FCM does not support Spanish or Italian...

US based trader here, have been mostly energies / ags for 10 years. Needing to hook up to a Eurex feed...no problem there, we can connect at either of the 2 FCMs and on either of the 2 execution platforms I use. (TT / CTS) My question is, though, what are other US based traders using? I...

I trade a lot of crude oil during US overnight hours, and therefore get to chat with Eurex traders. Had one ask this and I don't know: are there any traditional prop shop in the US that has a dedicated Eurex desk / group? I couldn't think of one, but that isn't my bag.

If your Series 3 is held with FCM X, can you also have a separate account with FCM-Y (outside of the FCMs offered if holding series 3 w/ a IIB rather than a GIB)? I'm sure its possible, just was curious if it was ever done, or if its too much of a compliance / reg issue for the holding FCM...

what is the rate for programmers for R and C++ / VB?

here in the states, look at Atlas (Axiom), down in Houston, or ET's own ogarbitrage who is with (I believe) Coquest in Dallas....a couple of names to start with in OTC energy stuff that are easy to find. FC Stone and Atlas both facilitate a lot of OTC trades in grains, a lot of that market is...

I actively trade both....and use shorter term NLs Keep an eye on rb structure.... Everybody wants to short this pop in crude....I'm not sure that'll work....structure of rbob breaking down considerably though.... Products will be the gauge of the market going forward...just my opinion

maybe soon I can finally afford that nice little dairy farm on the Isle of Man....

not sure about the cum. delta, but you can configure DOM and total volume shown on DOM to show only 1) outright, 2)implied, or 3) combination, in both CQG and CTS. I would assume since it can be done on the DOM, it can be done for the profile. best bet is to call support

wont mean much to most, but short term modified (due to low volume and usually small daily range) NL in full size (10/11/9) soy crush also turned lower. I believe the 1:1:1 did as well, but dont have data in front of me. energies....only thing I see other than red is a possible short term...

for those interested in grains.... corn came within a whiff of its monthly A-down today. Wheat did as well, and in conjunction with coming to contract lows I'm fairly sure. If not, was very close to contract lows

and for those like me who like the more obscure things to trade....I'm late on the short term turn on this one, but....lumber

flat price is bonkers too...too much risk for anything more than a daytrade if you don't run an overnight desk. smoothest in the fray has been heat oil cracks and rb/ho. for anyone else out there doing acd on grains....short term finally flattening on the soy crush after the big run up off...

oh boy do I remember that year in cotton. I'm not a cotton trader, but live in "cotton country". First time I can remember that there were actually defaults on physical forward contracts from the buyers back to the gins/warehouses. Big uproar out here when some $2 cotton became $1.10 cotton...

damn...I either need to enroll in a coding class or just keep plugging away manually in Excel and on a legal pad. I think I'm the only one in the <35 group that trades and doesn't code. Gonna keep on trying...the good thing about ACD, even us knuckle-draggers can use it ;)

ok...time to educate the redneck...what is "R" and how can it benefit my trading?

we are long some heating oil cracks for the first time since October here. have upside calls in crude owned against a portion of it.

looking at the above 2 (not Xandman) comments, clearly none of you have ever traded either feeder or live cattle. Are these 2 mkts broken? yes. Is HFT to blame? In feeder cattle there is a strong case, but in live cattle it is no more broken than it has been for last 15 years. In live...

New to programming so started with Easylanguage, so pardon if this is a newb question. In regards to strategy development, how do you make the strategy entry bar a reference bar. What I mean is, once the strategy triggers a trade, how do you get a strategy to reference only the values within...
