nihao, you're still asking CTA questions? IB has $1,000,000 for give-up agreements with other FCMs. Very few CTAs will use IB for ANYTHING. IB is for equities/bond traders/PMs. The notional funding level is between THE INVESTOR AND THE CTA. The broker has little to do with...

No chance in hell we would ever switch to TT. CTS T4 has been rock solid for us these past 3-4 years. I prefer the slowly moving DOM on the CTS platform to TT's static dome. 50-cents per side, capped at $500 per month, and for an extra $25 per month, STREAMING LIVE CHARTS (good quality)...

z - I couldn't see the picture you posted (unfortunately), but the link to marketsurfer touting Tim Sykes is pretty funny. To be fair, I'm not against people having opinions, being controversial or even silly. But flaming over a legitimate post is pretty damn obnoxious. I...

So because 1 out of 4 options I listed on an ET post disagrees with your immaculate sensibility you feel it necessary to TROLL my legitimate post?! "marketsurfer," you're obviously some internet weirdo who does not know that some family offices and FoF actually give capital to CTAs which...

Yes, I am RFQ for office space...wanting to see what's out there via non traditional channels (EliteTrader). As I've grown both as a person and as a business owner, I've become more humble as my knowledge increased. Not more arrogant. I'm definitely bothered by people who harangue...

Respectfully, you're just trolling other people's posts to be a dick, which is aggravating to people who are "real." I already have two leasing opportunities including one at a good price, but I'd rather *not* be renting a desk at a trading arcade. I posted to see if there were any...

Do you find it necessary to reply to every thread you see? It's difficult to imagine more dicks trolling ET than reddit, but perhaps ET's resident trolls are more prolific. You'd have to be a pretty ignorant market participant to think a firm would want a RETAIL investor to provide...

Family offices sometimes to this. While you may consider yourself to be the epicenter of the trading universe (as judged by your quick response time), there may be things you do not know. Larger institutions may sometimes scout for small to mid-sized managers they can develop and keep 'in...

Registered CTA located in Manhattan seeking office space... Will consider various arrangements including: *allocation + desk space *Swaps (office space for services/advice) *Straight lease agreement *Creative arrangements If you're reading this and have access to office space in...

I've been inside their CBOT offices before. It's a well run operation. If we relocate from NYC back to Chicago, we will consider this.

T4 shows 5-levels. I get 10-levels on everything else using this platform, including metals, energy, ags, treasuries, etc.

Having revisited an old friend for the first time in years, I was surprised to see CME's FX Future DOMs to be only 5-levels deep. Great liquidity in 6E and 6B, 70-150 contracts advertised at each level, and good turnover. Is there a deeper level of information, say 10-deep that I'm just...

Switch to CTS T4 using a reputable clearing FCM. IB is mickey mouse shit for futures trading. Sorry you guys can't close a position.

CTS T4 charts are pretty good. YOu can clear Cunningham and get the platform and charting for $25 per month.

no Mickey Mouse bullshit like in stocks - no twenty dark pools fucking with your orders; no HFT messing w/ your best bid /offer by one tenth of a penny. Transparent, centrally-located liquidity and 23-hour per day trading. Overall, the fairest game of them all.

Rates are very commoditized, so it matters less. However, I would recommend you go with a CLEARING FCM rather than a NON-CLEARING FCM. Your interface will likely be TT X Trader, CTS T4 or CQG. Personally, I like T4. Once your order is on GLOBEX it really didn't matter how it got...

Many authors post under "Tyler Durden" now but hte original Tyler was a Russian guy, who I believe was thrown out of a big bulge bracket firm for insider trading, or some other violation. I don't know they make many official calls, but they're generally very positive on precious metals, so...

Reading basic candlesticks on the DAILY, WEEKLY and HOURLY charts is the master skill of success. One doesn't need indicators, oscillators, or news flow. So, OP, your answer is "yes." Bullish/Bearish engulfing candles are important. Anyone who trades FOREX should have shorted GBP/USD...

I can't speak to what HLF's stock price should be, but it shouldn't be a surprise that they make most of their money by growing a sales organization. I don't think MLM, or network marketing as they prefer to be called, to be much of a worthwhile endeavor, however for some people it provides...
