    Spread Trading

    Both will generally move in the same way, the trick is to find which will outperform the other and make sure the cost of ownership doesn't kill you.

    UK trader looking to trade in CA

    Only this week I got notice of my H1-B visa approval (on special skills) as my firm don't have a registered UK office, this is not the hardest thing in the world to do but you do need a specialist US lawyer and they are only issued effective Oct 1 and in limited numbers so you need to get your...

    Commodities trading

    Because you're buying/selling a physical commodity - supply and demand effect the individual months as well as the overall product (for example winter months effect heat oil demand, or maybe you're bullish to 2007 future growth in china which requires galvanised steel which in turn effects the...

    No where else to turn

    You are drawing support resistance lines where the market hasn't visited enough. so why have you drawn just horizontal lines? take the chart you posted and draw a diagonal line between the high on the second bar in from the left (68.60) and the chart high (third bar in from right). See...

    China says it won't recognize the recent copper trades...

    The fact is that there is 55,000tonnes of lme warranted stock, it is alleged that SRB have to deliver 200,000tonnes to the market on the 21st Dec of this year to satisfy their short position, and 200 doesn't go into 55 very well so they either have to buy the outright, borrow the position to a...

    China says it won't recognize the recent copper trades...

    because the shorts still exist*. The brokers who cleared these trades for SRB will now be short to market, if SRB do default then the brokers will cover the positions they inherit and sue SRB for losses. *this assumes the short position existed in the first place

    Copper

    The price action over the last 2 days does not look like somebody (SRB) unwinding a big short position, it's the market getting wind of somebody (they believe) has to unwind a big short position - if the SRB goes for a "get me out" type trade then I would expect copper will be 5-10% higher.

    Refco Fallout

    Let's focus on this history for a minute. You've have also stated this "embezzlement" was to help pay Refco's debts and thus stop it from going bankrupt. Let me just seize on the offence they were fined for in 1996, the offence was commited during a period 1989 to 1992 where REFCO were...

    Refco Fallout

    In backup to jimrockfords point about them having much more rigorous risk control than most others then there is nothing in that to indicate they offer any greater risk control then say, erm, ironically REFCO.... or Man, or Barclays, or fimat, or countless other brokers I can mention. This...
