Sorry, but I can not concur that a letter of credit can be considered as a cash collateral as there is, by definition, big credit risk on letters...
A "letter of credit" ? I think you must be mistaking instruments here. A letter of credit is a payment instrument that necessarily implies 3...
I'm not sure where you would find this information, but I suspect it would be a very small % and irrelevant. Most of the "real deals" that imply...
Sorry for not having included in my previous post: "If 20000 contracts are purchased from people entering new shorts, then open interest...
Contrary to trying to prolong their positions, all of the funds that I have worked with tend to roll/close their positions at least a few days...
I don't understand your logic. For every contract open there is both a buyer and a seller. How could one possibly conclude that there is more/less...
..."when ICE freezes" :)
Precisely my point last week, yes
Yes, compounding is defintely key to long term success. In regards to win rate, I run a low probability model. About 60 to 70% of my trades are...
Well said, yes, I agree that I should have emphasized a "do not attempt this at home until comprehensive research and modeling is accomplished" :)...
Austin, I entirely apreciate your thoughts and I completely agree that many would blow up in attempting increasing risk after a loss because many...

Your statement would be correct if the risk increase after a loss were to be "rather large". This is why it is important to control risk increase...
How can you justify taking more risk when you are up and vice versa ? As far as taking more risk when you are down is concerned, look back...
Illiquid, To borrow your blackjack example, lets look at this. If go to the table with 10 000, bet 1 000, and lose, and then if you bet 1...
Jimmy, again, the size of the trade is NOT necessarily tiny. Taking on small risk does not necesarily imply a small position. For example, my...
Ah ok. No, don't worry, I was definitely not going there. Not looking for any tricks :) Yes, of course entries are important, but...
I apreciate your point, but it seems to me to be a bit off topic here. The discussion was on the subject of enhancing performance through...
Ok, then would you mind explaining how exactly you are going to "get a better entry" on your next trade ?
Far from suggesting that my entries are fantastic, I would like to say that even with relatively poor entries one can do quite well if risk...
