Traders' Roundtable

Same again this morning. It's downloading/running but not updating yesterday's data. Just until September 11. I was only able to update Sept 11 data around 16:00 CET yesterday afternoon. There's also the option to try other servers, not working (for me) either but here they are change the PRIMARY SE...

Up and running now.

From their website: Due to the severity of hurricane Irma, it is possible that our clients may experience interruptions of service. Although we have co-located our critical systems in a secure place that has guaranteed power uptime and multiply-redundant communications lines, the unpredictability of...

Must say I haven't had any major issues with CSI, only the one time when Florida got hit by a hurricane years ago which took a day or so to fix. Had some minor issues such as bad ticks but they were resolved quickly. Overall I can only say that they deliver a great product and service. So, no worrie...

Hi All, I was just wondering if there are still some trendfollowers out here who may want to engage in a testing/trading discussion. What are you doing at the moment, how have you done over the last, lets say, 5 years. Just trying to get some discussion going as trendfollowing can be lonely and frus...

All back to normal. Great interaction here btw.

Despite changing to the temp IP many markets still not updating. Support ticket send DOWNLOADING ISSUES CSI has been upgrading to a new 10 MBit fiber internet connection. We have moved to a larger internet backbone increasing our connection speed by about 30 percent. The down time experienced was du...

Hello,

Anyone else experiencing CSI not updating?

Thx

Hi Tim,

We would be interested to run TB connected with IB on end of day systems for futures/intra day stop placement for filled orders/checking positions etc

Hi all, not sure where to post this question. Seems to be best suited here. Does anyone has experience in trading physical commodities? Butane/propane. I have been offered a great trade with solid parties and looking for a possible partner. 12 month contract/fixed buying price. No need to prefund th...

Could you say that CFD´s are well suited for smaller accounts aiming to achieve required diversification? How are margins set? Could you run a portfolio of 40/50 financial/commodity CFD´s with 10k due to lower big point value. Thanks

The only currency which we should be considering is mathematically perfected currency‚ As there is one and one only solution to inflation and deflation; to systemic manipulation of the cost or value of money or property; and to inherent, irreversible (and therefore terminal) multiplication of arti...

An intentional typo

It would mean that there will be less money in circulation for government spending. Typically governments do not purchase back bonds they issue but just service the debt by paying the ever increasing interest over the ever increasing total debt, and/or roll into a new bond transaction at maturity un...

Not sure I understand your question. Do you mean what do you think what will happen when U.S. government pays down part of it´s debt? (Purchase back the bonds it previously issued)

Sure, but I think it´s comparing apples with pears...

We will know more by Monday evening. Apparently there´s alot of interest.
Until then don´t move

Knight cliënt letter

Another one bites the dust eh. In the process of closing positions and re-opening them with our other broker
Everything still working normal though

Funds with Knight are only 15% of AUM and seg and should be safe

You mean the one saying 1.75 a side?

Now that´s a good rate isn´t it! +15 years of clearing with no problems whatsoever is worth mentioning also. Just happy to share that experience.
That´s all.

The futures division is operated separate from the securities division. Seg funds are held in banks, Harris Trust, JP Morgan, and the regulators are already in Knight’s house to ensure that operations are clean. Since there is no fraud involved (from what we know) I´m not worried about funds.
