Long time, no lurk/post. I just posted my extremely hard to find Ergotron HORIZONTAL quad monitor stand + 4 19" Acer monitors on e-bay. If you're interested please go have a look. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251585381685?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Coinbase is the only place in US to really purchase BTC. It is a process, but once you get verified it is not a big deal. Just takes a bit of time. You can look into campbx.com, but they are shady at best. Conversely, you could mine them yourself or hire yourself out for services in BTC.

How is a fund global "macro" with 250-500 RT/day? Interesting website they have too.

Look up the exchange messaging limits for market makers, it's usually available somewhere on their web page. This will give you an idea of the amount of orders you can place in a given time period. With that information you should be able to figure out how frequently prices are updated.

If you're not automated you're going to get run over by fast markets all the time. This is just where the industry is at these days. Even being automated is not enough. Your infrastructure must be at least on par with the every other market maker or you'll get run over consistently. They...

112 101.3 114.1 120.5 The final score is just the three sub scores averaged so it assumes that each area holds the same weight. This may or may not be true. Similarly, the bias behind each question was blatantly obvious so it was simple to fool the test into giving a high score. For...

Sure it's possible, but those firms are winding down or spinning off their desks as required by regulations. Probably not much point in trying that now. If you've already got a couple year track record at a reputable shop and a small team behind you raising capital may be easier than you...

I never maid any claims about my trading. I simply found this thread interesting as it has to do with an area I am familiar with. So regardless of the time I answered it I gave you valuable information. You can get defensive if you must, but I am giving you advice comes direct from...

So you're starting a market making firm and asking about market making software on elite trader? If you are in fact starting a firm I would hope you have a background in the industry. If you do then you would not be asking what your options are; especially on this or any site. You would...

You have to determine what stats you find most useful on your own. The absolute most important thing is that you do not allow any data peeking at all! That's forwards or backwards. Any data peeking renders results totally unreliable. Furthermore, you must understand that even out of...

How to avoid being scammed? Don't look to educational or system vendors for trading advice or skills. It's been said so much it is now cliched, but if they had it they wouldn't sell it. That is true 100% of the time, no exceptions. End of discussion. This thread should be closed.

@ schizo coffee holding that 260 price pretty well.

I know their floor brokers very well as well as some of their previous investors, but this information is only current as of 2009 so it may well not reflect their current trading. They sold strangles on S&P 500 trying to get $4.00 on each side approximately 3 months out and hoped the market...

You referring to physical dealing or speculative futures trading? Two very different environments.

Rubber!

Schizo, From what I've seen it would be hard for a day trader to use CL options to hedge positions. I've never really looked into it because I've never day traded CL, but I think the b/a spread would make it pointless in many cases. If you're flipping contracts multiple times through...

We're required to hedge any long term spec position in futures. However, most of the positions we take are at least a 12month outlook. Hedging makes more sense at this time frame. Being in and out of positions causes hedging to be far too expensive and we don't do it on positions with shorter...

nice work

Indonesia, Kenya, Uganda are just a few of the countries experiencing supply issues. Brazil's consumers now consuming 50% more coffee than just a couple of years ago. ICE warehouse stocks are down to 1.58 million bags and still dwindling. 3 million would be ideal. U.S. importers are now...
