I own one of Smitten's books. It's repetiitve fluff now in storage. Nice photos though. I believe he was married thrice, the last being a Ziegfield girl several years his junior. He may have not died broke, but he did die by his own hand, and the bulk of the last decade was absent former artificial...

My question is how you would measure these high vol events going forward. So, sometimes the fed speaks, and nothing happens, but sometimes the fed, or the CPI or some other economic event causes a huge vol move. Also, aren't there so many of these events that it becomes very difficult to employ a l...

Re: Paul Tudor Jones and 1987 crash
I re-read Market Wizards for the 88th time and observed that Paul Tudor Jones claimed to have gone big T-Bonds when he and Peter Borish "saw" the coming 1987 stock market crash. However, unless I am missing something, a check of historical T-Bond charts for 1987-1988 do not show any huge ...

Re: Orange Juice Liquidity
I’ve been passively watching the bull market in Orange Juice for some time. Unfortunately, the liquidity of that market is notoriously bad (which is why I’ve only watched vs. traded it). I’m just curious if anybody has actually been trading the OJ move and can share what kind of slippage they...

Re: CBOT BLOWS IT!
[quote="futurestrader111"]Many traders were surprised yesterday when trading the mini-silver contract at the CBOT. Why???? Because the CBOT had a rule that said if your stop was surpassed by 3 cents before it was filled that the stop was cancelled!!!!! This is insane, the CBOT is basically...

Christian's helpful table above may help to answer a question which always tends to puzzle those newer to this game. Which goes something as follows: how come when my tests show that you can turn $50,000 into $10zillion in 20 years, the records of all the CTAs I have looked at suck? We might also n...
