Perhaps the lower tick size for NQ and YM doesn't give a MM enough edge?
Nothing like mutually assured destruction to really kick your economy back into gear.
Having just gone through this process and failing to secure internship offers at the three you've listed (didn't apply to two), I'd recommend you...
@Northid i never saw your message on skype about your MDP 3.0 issues, shoot me a private message on here discussing them if you care to, please....
For anyone who may be dealing with this in the future, I've provided some misinformation here accidentally. If you're trying to calculate SPAN...
Follow up: since I'm just looking for a pessimistic estimate of SPAN margin, how does 99% VaR compare to your experience with SPAN in real life? I...

In my opinion, the only way this could be achieved for the overall benefit of the community here would be to make the posts viewable to all, else...
If you think it's an edge in discretionary trading, then go for it. Much like Tom Brady defiantly made the choice to eschew any hopes of not being...
