I think RAN is getting a bad rap here and that's unnecessary. As a customer for a couple years, I've found their product to be very useful and worth the cost. Maybe it isn't for everyone but it's certainly for me. No I'm not affiliated with the company but wanted to just speak up as a...

I'm not hatin' on Rennick, just saying that I think a lot of people, myself included, are getting hedged and short in the high 1490s in the futures. Short trade was crowded down below but I think isn't so much now.

Great call again, listening to the ball would've allowed for better prices. I'm holding off until atleast Friday to cover and hope you're aboard for that!

Rennick, I love your commentary but I think it's tough slogging around here. I've hedged up all my longs and am leaning short. Hate to fade the ball but I'll make an exception today.

You've made some great calls but I think you're gonna eat it today. We're at the 50% retracement of the move and I don't think the all clear is out there.

The biggest difference in the transition is that order flow dosen't come to you. What you first have to develop is a strategy which isn't reliant upon getting that execution edge. Once you get that strategy down, you can work on getting more edge. Trading like an upstairs trader on the...

All this means is higher fees as far as I'm concerned. Quote from PR Newswire "The merger will not impact core trading rights or membership or clearing privileges at either exchange."

i don't have any info on the firms in questions but.......my suggestion is to ask the tough questions as to how the firm makes money. if it's completely from a profit split and a resonable overhead fee, that's fine. sometimes firms add on a little charge per contract and i think that is bogus...

You speak like the amature you probably are. Don't worry because we weren't leaning off your 2 lot position trade with counterparty info. It's a different game w/the big boys when you're moving size and providing liquidity, little man. I traded in the pit and you could ask anyone who was...

Most of the disruption was flickering quotes which would eat up bandwith with orders that wouldn't get executed and if so, only for a one lot. My problem with that is I'm paying for the bandwith to execute trades and these dirtbags just try to disrupt the mkt w/out adding anything to the...

I think a big reason why GHCO dosen't want anyone to see counterparties is that in my experience, THEY are the ones who get picked off and victimized. I sure as hell made a lot of money off of their desks. Have you heard any other firms bitching???? Rather than rag on people who utilize...
