Indeed, not making it to the university is like a death sentence in this uber competitive society. I would encourage OP to try the UOL degree program which is very popular for A levels dropout, this can still open doors for other banking/financial jobs, trading can come later.

Sorry to ask but what is the reason for ratio-ing 2 spreads instead of doing a +1 oct/-2 nov/+1 dec butterfly?

Thanks for the look at the backtest, so it's been 3 years since system made equity high, which parallels most trend following cta, drawdown seem shallow, good job nonetheless. What was your largest equity drawdown on backtest, did I see a dip in 1983?

If you read his blog somewhere it was mentioned he worked as a fund manager for AHL, that may explain the large fund he was handling. His results are quite impressive to date but I'm still waiting to see how his system perform from 2009-2013, a period that was brutal to trend followers. We...

The last time I checked they do offer Japan, HK, Spore, Msia equities day trading, was rather surprised they told me it was possible to short Msia stocks which is illegal in that exchange. They partnered with other local brokers, for Msia it's JPM so it's reasonable they have access to these...

If trading prop is your thing, you may want to look into this firm http://www.daytradetheworld.com/ , no affiliation, just tossing out another option.

I would like to learn more about stock trading systems, what in your opinion is the best way to trade stocks, intraday or daily? Any specific strategies like buying breakout or mean reversion?

Glad you are making money from this contract, retail interest has dried up pretty much due to manipulation. Actually I'm glad that more foreign interest are coming into our market, cpo was never in the league of the grains until after '07 and Dalian's palm olein was introduced and it still...

I'm surprised there is global interest in a minor contract like crude palm oil, the volume has certainly picked up since it joined the CME platform. Active month is currently May, the third month. The way it works is that most trades are "rollover" on the 16th of every month, other months are...

Most of the butterfly spread charts posted seem to be mean reverting, is that how they are traded compared to single pair spreads which can be very directional?

2014 was a very good year for trend following systems, your trading result reflects this. Just wondering, how would your system perform from year 2009 - 2013 on backtest, I know most trend following systems had flat to negative returns during that period. If your system were able to capture...

Impressive 350k profit in under one year, what was your starting equity? could you talk a bit about your entry and exit.

Check out some of the Malaysian brokers like Okachi and Phillip Futures.

Brutal, pretty large position.

Sure, check out SGX's China, Nifty and Taiwan index futures, should serve your needs.

yeah it happens when there are too many trades going on at the same time, hope it didn't have much impact on the bottom line.

Best wishes on the bday, could you provide an update to this trade? Was the position hedged or did you get out before it broke the wing strike? rgds.

Did you long any of the indexes? Ndx at 4030. Is this more of a hedge for the NDX Oct16 3900/3950/4050 fly in case market moves up.

ughh shouldn't have covered the earlier 95C and 98C, lots of whipsaw action. NDX 4070 looking bright.

Relatively cheap at current level, Bean Oil still commands a premium of $90/MT over crude palm oil, historically it's been at $150 and did narrow down to even money in recent times.
