What do you guys think is the easiest category to make a living in with a reasonably proffesional setup and software (Bloomberg, Reuters, Squawk & decent trading software)? Why?

Synthetic CDO-squareds, the easiest of them all...

Are you into trading Schatz futures on Eurex, FGBS?

Started off trading European bond future curve, now trade a little bit of everything.

Just thought you must be a schatz man, given your username.

I voted for Stock Index futures because I love ES's liquidity (most days). If I stop out it's usually at my stop price, which over time, saves money. Additionally, transactional costs are fairly low and the market's open over 23-hours per day.

For data I've subscribed to DTN's ProphetX, which features handsome & reliable charting at a middle-of-the range price. Note I'm a discretionary trader, and don't employ algorithms (yet).

For execution I've used TT's X-Trader, PATS, and FCM branded products. Currently, I like Dorman Trading's platform, Dorman Direct.

:D
