NYMEX HH, NYMEX NN, ICE NG LD1 Henry, and ICE NG LD1 ICE Lots Henry are all financially settled vs the NYMEX NG final trading day settlement price. The only difference between the products (other than exchanges) is contract size. NYMEX HH is 10,000 MMbtu/month, NYMEX NN and ICE NG LD1 Henry are...

Just FYI... ICE do have listed "Heat Rate Spreads" that you can execute as spreads and they will give you underlying positions in the power contract and Henry Hub. As far as I know these contracts do not and have not traded on screen in a long time though. When they were initially launched...

I guess you get what you pay for. CQG > IB but IB is free! RTS & Orc > TT > CQG but again they get significantly more expensive.

Bone what do you do about charting these spreads on IB? As far as I can tell, while IB support execution of exchange traded spreads, they do not support charting of exchange traded spreads.

I know nobody can be objective about politics but i) We don't know what would have happened to the economy during the 2001 recession/post 9/11 downturn if Bush hadn't passed the tax cuts. ii) At the time Bush didn't know he was going to be in the middle of two Wars for the next 10+ years...

Thanks johnnyqpublic, error seems to be on behalf, I didn't understand enough about the subject but I think I understand better now. Only way for me to 'constantly' know the potential connection speed would be to try and 'constantly' pull more data than the connections compacity. Obviously...

Okay if we're being pedantic, "the potential speed of the connection". An obvious example (and one I am very interested in) is that the connection has zero traffic. Is that because I'm sending/pulling nothing or because it's down? Looking at my Bandwidth Meter logs there are definitely periods...

Nice piece of software. Going one step further do you know of any software that can i) actually monitor and record the speed of the connection (rather than how much bandwidth you are using) and ii) identify bandwidth usage by process? Thanks in advance if anybody does.

They are obviously not for home setup where you just plug your phone line in the back. There is a lot of equipment needed on the back end to make them work properly. I know the BT one (on the right in the picture) is "supposed" to interface directly into your email client and allow you to...

All you need now is 160 million American's who agree with you.

Simple, buy or sell "CLT". CLT is the CME Futures contract to trade crude at settlement. As I type CLT for X0 is 0/1 14093 on the bid, 23076 on the offer. If you buy the 1s at the end of the day your account will show a CL purchase, 1 tick above the settle. If you sell the 0s it will show a...

Arnaud Mares from Morgan Stanley's London office wrote a report in late August on this exact subject. Unfortunately I can't find it online any more. If I recall correctly it argued that when you consider the US's Social Security, Medicare, Government Pension Obligations and its guarantee of...

I'm in a similair situation and curious to see what answers you get. My research leads me to believe that Tradestation is the best technology solution. Unfortunately their data costs for futures are high. To trade ES, Bonds & Crude your going to have to subscribe to the CME, CBOT and NYMEX live...

I'm in a similair situation and am curious what answers you get. My research has lead me to believe that Tradestation is the best. Unfortunately to trade ES, Bonds, and Crude on Tradestation you will have to subscribe to the CME, CBOT and NYMEX data feeds which it appears will cost you...

I’m considering getting tradestation and have been analyzing the cost. If you just lease the software and use your own broker it costs between $300 and $420/month depending upon what you have and whether your classified as a professional or not. If you get the software and trade through...
