Traders' Roundtable

Thanks Paul, Do your systems have a trackrcord? Cheers, Tom Tom, Please take a look at www.pmkingtrading.com. I have a intra-day futures trading system called ModeX in the Strategies section. This system is a TradeStation system (but could be adapted to other platforms) and can be applied to any fu...

if you are a CPO or CTA and are interested in Man Financial, try calling Matt Dougherty or Scott Kebby .. they are at the trading desk in Chicago, but they might be doing CPOs and CTAs only ... if you are strictly retail, you might have to go through the main line.

I have just given instruction to transfer out my T Bills. I have decided to leave cash and open positions there until the waters settle. T Bills form 2/3 of my a/c so at least if I DO get delivery of those, it is not a complete disaster. I have of course phoned Refco but as per their press statemen...

Anyone feeling as uncomfortable as I am? Segregated funds, perfomance bonds with the exchanges, FDIC insurance up to $100,000......................................but. I am sure there are lots of people who feel the same way as you do. :( 1 year ago, I had a due diligence session with REFCO and Man...

My system works well on equity indices as well as commodities and other futures, and I'm fairly long-term (in my opinion). I trade each market 0 to 5 times a year, 5 being on the high side (whipped), the average is 1 trade per year. GR :P I agree with Ghostrider. I also test the equity index future...

Thanks TK. I included the same report with $50 factored in for trade costs. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks Shane TK implies that you include slippage and commission, NOT "trade costs". your trade costs are fixed, and do not vary with size. dollar slippage varies with size, where % sl...

You might want to consider:

Tokyo
Shanghai/China (largest market in the world)
Mumbai (formerly Bombay)
New Zealand (in crisis situations, that's the first place traders hit currencies after hours)

how about AT&T's Real VNC?

if i have problems with netmeeting, i usually use this instead.

Why not? In a Bear Market, why hunt for short candidates when you can short the E-Mini NASDAQ futures and arguably (if you are right on your call) make more money anyway. Beats screening 10,000 stocks if you ask me comments? do you do a historical test on that and verify that is true? is the invers...

We ran into an issue where a user reported that some of the stop orders as generated by VeriTrader couldn't be accepted directly by their broker. In particular, the broker rejected trades where the close had already penetrated the stop. For example, let's say you are long Crude and want to place yo...

I am really angry and fed up , because I ordered and payed per credit card the historical Futures and Forex data - worth US $ 400 on 17th September 2004 from OOWDG - Till now I got nothing. Sure it was my decision to buy but I thought as data provider for veritrader...... Helmut you might consider ...

The CBOT has the spirit of Christmas in them. Or, they like the Amazon and Overstock.com business models. Or maybe both~

This is the first time I see a financial exchange sale. Anyone see one before?

US Dollar Index - long downtrend, possible LONG when 83.0 area is penetrated to upside Soybeans - sideways pattern, possible LONG when 575 penetrated to upside Gold - uptrend, possible SHORT when 430 penetrated to downside EuroFX - uptrend, possible SHORT when 1.31 penetrated to downside Corn - gra...

But what we do know is twofold .. the more markets you are in the more likely you are to catch a trend and the more markets you are in the bigger your drawdown is likely to be .. its an interesting tradeoff .. Chris "We" do know that for sure? I do not know. Drawdown (in the most basic fo...

I agree with you Jake: it is no guarantee of course that this is the beginning. What happens if most fund managers get halfway back to their high watermark, then go straight back down to their historical drawdown levels, and stay around that level for another year? That might surprise a lot of peopl...

Hi Martina,

If you post your message with the stock symbol and the exchange/country it is traded on, more people can answer your question clearly. You might want to try that the next time~

do you know for sure that it is one of those two events? what makes you certain that the quote data you see is correct?

Hi Everyone, Besides Pinnacle Data, where can I subscribe to continuously-linked futures contracts with EOD updates? Most of the vendors charge in the 400-1500 USD per month range, so I'm looking for something cheaper. Pinnacle is 12/month and although the roll dates are fixed, at least it's good en...

One of the difficulties I have had playing in No-Limit Texas Hold'em tournaments is the amount of "luck" present in the game. More "luck" inherent in the game than people realize. As an example, let's say you are dealt pocket aces (AA), and your opponent goes "all-in" ...
