hope everyone is well and well done to the talking heads for averting a potential economic catastrophe...
so yeah, as i half suspected was going to happen, the only two guys who drive into work from my home town both got the bullet this week, only been able to place a couple of trades as have been tied up the past couple of days trying to sort out a reliable used car within budget, kind of had it sprung on us, so wasn't entirely prepared for it...
yesterday was completely wasted, went into london only to get a text 5 minutes before jumping on...

RUT awards 2012
As posted last week. I am pleased to announce the now "traditional" and most influential (not really is the 1st time) 2012 RUT awards wWinners
The selections were as democratic and open as this thread
...so it was not open to everybody, lots of posters and threads were overlooked. Some has complained about the selection instead of contributing, others have ignored but most have take them as they supposed to be: to provide some laughs and an informal review of some of the good the bad and the ugly in FF 2012....hopefully somebody will follow up next year.
In any case, before week opens and this year officially start for some, here are the final 2 posts with the Winners of all RUT's Award....

1. Posters
- Newcomer Of The Year: Winner: redteamgo . A well rounded new poster in both FA and TA. A fresh American FA insight in a field almost fully control by European posters with solid TA skills. Recommend reading for this year.
A quick quote:
there are a variety of american press conferences soon. i expect more chop as a result. being on the right side is just a gamble i'm stepping aside. modest loss today thus far. the Boehner plan B vote is 7pm EST today. i'll look to that for direction into tomorrow.
Runner-up Xandi
- Outstanding Achievement In The Field Of Uselessness: Winner: Jay Walker. One of the oldest posters still surviving in the forums. A very impressive record posting 100 consecutive posts in a week containing only 1 trading/related post ..An unbeatable record ...(no hard feelings mate just taking the Mickey among Useless Bastards)
A quick quote:
Runner-up kill56It's not easy to get a license to email from North Korea.
I can forward messages to Kim Jong-Un if I'm emailed. I promise to dismiss all emails.
I usually get serious inquiries when I post such absurd statement. Good times!
- Best infrequent poster (bros that you wish would post more often) Winner: Old Quant. Definitively a great asset in FF. A superb poster with bags of knowledge in this business. Very interesting posts, both on the "quant" and the marktet/trading posts. The RUT and FF needs more from and like him ...this will be much more interesting place....
A quick quote:
Maybe you remember, I always go long grains for Z at the beginning of the year; it's a basic USD hedge, and at least the corn is ultimately floored by the politics.
But beans are a lot like Apple. You can make up all kinds of reasons why they're where they are, but if you start thinking about moves of the pieces more than one move ahead, it's harder and harder to justify.
And unlike APPL, where the market just plain can't afford to have it go down, grain markets are a little more supply-demand and calories-per-money unit driven.
It's not...
Runner-up cohiba pips
- Most out of touch poster: Winner:mercy seat. Nobody can argue this hyperactive poster from not talking trading with his hundreds of weekly posts with tables an intraday updates but beware of his very nasty and out of touch cultural and sometimes even racist stereotypes comments.
Bad time zone ...
Soon at ROLLO TAIM and then lousy Pacific Session ...
With those funny null trading but fried rice noodle guys ... - Funniest poster Winner:Mr. Hatch. the sharpest tongue and sense of humor in FF.
A quick quote:
I don't even know, whether there'd be any benefit...
I'm shy, and hairy.
Runner-up Chicky
- Worst troll Winner:Incrediblle That was very hard decision as there are way too many good candidates. Not worth the space quoting these trolls.
Runner-up turmaz, and all the hundred of trolls with multiple username.
- Dumbest non-troll posterWinner: Hindustani. Another very difficult decision.
A quick quote:
ping pong bell, pussy in the well ; or was it * in the pussy ; forgot
Runner-up faller
- Most annoying poster Winner: drzakir123 . Misleading comments, very poor writing skills, below quality trading posts ...simply annoying to read.
A quick quote:
Runner-up bumapatriai am ready with my scalpel and needles to surgically castrate this bull. and dont worry mr bull its going to be quite painless procedure
- Best troll (this is a troll that you admire for their trolling ability) Winner: Void.. We have too many trolls in FF to give them credit for something ...
- Worst thread starter Winner:the redlion. A v good and interesting poster but when it come starting threads .... 18 threads each with catchy tittles but zero follow up. The problem maybe is not on the content but in the size of the opening posts ...
A quick [very long this final paragraph was "only 3200 words !!! later in the 1st post ....
] quote:
.....I hope with this thread to move past simple lines on a chart to make better sound, and intelligent decisions on our speculative activities.
Runner-up N/A
- Most love to hate poster Of The Year [u]Winner:[the one and only one Cloggie/U]. Definitivly on of the most controversial, influential and knolegadavle traders in FF. Either you love him or hate him. No middle point. Sadly (or gladly for some) he aparrently abandoned ship for good early this year.
What the feck are you talking about, you gave us levels this morning that were hundreds of pips out, you were long, while the market kept on going down.
Good thing your main job is thieving from noobies here, you will never make it as a trader, ah of course that's exactly why you had to resort to thievery, you failed.
Runner-up rattyo
- Biggest prospect buff Winner: Tom_D_Trader. Intelligent post, inquisitive mind, "stubborn" when he take his trades, self-confident with this views but humble when recognizing mistakes. One of the few newcomers around that has come with a well rounded approach FA and TA. Many key qualities of a successful trader ...Well deserved winner
Runner-up Darimik
