Don't know the term spin.
Need a favor. Anyone able to tell me how many Q's traded at 35.50 and 35.51 this morning. Did anyone sell those prints?
I'm hardly a newbie. Been trading for 19 years (yikes!). But here in Chi-town prop trading in futures world is nonexistent (only options traders...
Easy: I trade options on QQQ almost daily and the liquidity is unparralled, although StockApprentice"s comments about width of spreads in ITM's...
I don't believe any non-exchange derivative is regulated per se.
Even better. Refco's so obnoxious, I love them. Tom Dittmer (Refco) and Barry Lind are probably worth a half billion between them.
Sabena: Lind is safe and secure. Full clearing member of CME and CBOT. They've been doing spot for about 5 years now. Would highly recommend them...
Sabena is of course correct. Forex along with global fixed income markets are the primary source of liquidity for funds, although the volatility...
The anti hedge fund criticism on this thread is ridiculous and self-serving. Besides the pre posted obvious, that some of the wealthiest...
Def I was locked out yesterday by ISE on best, quickly saw that the offer was on PSE, and was quick enough to get 5 lots off on PSE, while the...

Easyrider: In a perfect world you could use IB, but can you actually get through to the "help" desk in time? Doubtful.
Same here. Least I now know I didn't re-send a bunch of old e-mails.
jem makes the defining point here. How did buy and hold become such a mantra? Who's to say the market will EVER recover. What if the U.S. is 10...
uptik2000, Kicking, hopefully Commisso(always has good thoughts): Often we talk about how to deal with a losing streak. My potential problem next...
Trader777; Agreed that locals front run the screen when large orders hit the pit. However I don't see that as evidence of the screen being the...
Sarasota; sachabr makes a good point. Size in mini will typically get filled by a pit local with a hand held Globex terminal after the pit has...
Qwik; Agreed. In fact to confuse you. I trade QQQ options since there are no NQ opts, so I watch QQQ as intimately as NQ. I get my NQ feel from...
For those of us who don't need to join the specialist's bid or offer a thousand times a day, in hopes of picking up a nickel then futures are the...
