As long as its going down, I'm selling it to zero. That is probably not an original sentiment

WTI Crude Oil Trading

Quite some (many) years ago Barchart.com had intraday data. Not sure if they do now, nor where they sourced it from, but I would think the exchange would be logical. I got a boatload of options data (time of sales!) for an academic chap I knew whose ...

Historical Data

A few hours ago my (Australian) outfit had $20+ spreads. Similar to others, different words- We will shortly be placing Gold Bullion Spot CFDs (XAUUSD, XAUAUD, XAUCHF, XAUGBP, XAUEUR) on Close Only. This means existing positions can only be held, ...

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

Well, you may be just onto something here.

Gold Mining - Using Each Trading Day's Trend

Maybe it would be pleasing to all if when you next speak of margins you also explain to the forum on what basis they are calculated by the exchange. To the best of your understanding. This information is freely available and understood by prudent ...

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

I wouldn't suggest maintaining this train of thought with your beloved should you gift them with some silver jewellery in the near future, though.

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

Phew! The market speaks with you also? I thought I was the only one cursed with those conversations.

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

Significant low of 8.42 in October 2008, and prior to that other lows - how far back ya wanna go? Its a JP Morgan conspiracy according to at least one erudite commentator. Might be something in it, who cares. In the meantime... {edit, platinum is ...

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

I'm thinking the same thing about silver. Wrong thread, I know, but since you mentioned physical. Seems that nobody seems to want it, poor baby, except for this dude called JP Morgan. It is even more useless than gold except that I think that some ...

Gold RIGHT NOW

Bit like Big Macs, eh? And they are also pretty safe. Read into that what you may. For those using metatrader, there is an option to trade gold in a variety of currencies. Take a peek at the daily XAUAUD chart. {edit - might depend on your provider, ...

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

Excellent that you have crunched the numbers. This is useful. And now we have a suggested cause, above (edit- amongst the plethora of other causes, of course - they are coming from all angles. Gets all too complicated for my remaining neurons, which ...

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

According to some sources (no actual verification, so, ya know, could be rubbish) this has been happening on quite a massive scale. Money management, folks. It all matters, all the time. Probably an issue for folk with massive positions who simply ...

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

A few weeks ago there was some dude saying he traded 24/7. Seriously. Now, I'm not sure if that is physically possible on several levels, but that's a minor point. What was more interesting to me is that I can imagine that he doesn't get laid very ...

Why Are We Here? If you are really here for profits, please read!

The last one to do so might be asked to switch out the lights on their way out. Central bank bashing is too easy and actually a bit unfair. One ought to attempt to demonstrate empathy and be kind to those with mental infirmities.

Private Island Traders

OK. It isn't a trend then. Thankyou for clarifying, however a sharp eyed reader may have another question.. I did actually address the issue of the generating process as noted, albeit maybe in a flippant manner, and not as robust as yourself. ...

Probabilities in a Random Walk (Question about one CP's post)

When you have a lazy day or so, stroll into a casino with a pen and pad and find a high rotation roulette table (not one that only spins every 10 minutes). Take note of each red and black. 1 for red, -1 for black. With about 200+ observations, ...

Probabilities in a Random Walk (Question about one CP's post)

That's right, innit. Here I was thinking of weird possibilities to justify the "hint" that it isn't 50% (and having now read the maths comments - the last one mirrored my confusion, seeking more information). It matters not where you are in the ...

Probabilities in a Random Walk (Question about one CP's post)

Yes, quite so. However, any random generator is defined by its specified parameters. These may closely resemble financial markets. To my knowledge they haven't come up with a model that sufficiently describes financial markets. For practical ...

Probabilities in a Random Walk (Question about one CP's post)

I cannot read the response by he mathematicians easily (font too small - could blow it up,I suppose). I can read Craig's quote from April 15 2010. I am unsure what he is asking - if it is a trick of sorts, it isn't working. This bit - "when it gets ...

Probabilities in a Random Walk (Question about one CP's post)

So it might be a terrific opportunity to go short, then? Mm, maybe not. The WSJ had a thing the other day, I read out of interest. The high cost frackers are pumping away despite NG being below cost coz they are suffering under high borrowing costs ...

Nat Gas anyone?
