Looks like the exchange lobby will win regardless of the number of letters sent.

For any non-US citizen then trade with any of the large spreadbetting companies in the UK. Tax free, commission free and market spreads. :D

What nobody has mentioned is also how you handle the mental stress of trading and making a few thousand bucks in an hour and then have the whole day to yourself. I find that I mentally cannot handle making the money within one or two hours and then having the rest of the day free. I know this...

Well done the SEC, another minnow not even in the US! What about all the shares and options traded last week in TXU just before the takeover was announced, that was 100 times what this guy made. Pathetic as normal.

With hardly any vol how are the system traders supposed to make money? These days you get ridiculously trapped ranges with false breaks both sides, very occaisonal big days and this year not enough trend days to count on one hand.

market trapped by the big boys until expiry. european markets made new highs today.........coiled spring on Friday to the upside, Monday at the latest. Year End Target zones: ES: 1442 min - 1461 max ER2: 825 min - 837 max probably be achieved on Dec 29th - bonus targets achieved!

I believe there are several interested parties and an announcement is likely mid-week. I would be very surprised if the service was interupted again.

What do you want to know?

If you trade that much, you can try Gain Pro which only has a 1.5 pip spread on the Euro.

data is back up and running now........no need to restart IB. The French are the masters at closing the exchange with a technical error when there is a lot of selling pressure are the US authorities testing a similar method for next month?

all those $500 margin boys will be sweating if we don't come back up!

I am sure TradeBolt interfaces with all of those front-ends and connects to IB. Maybe you should look into them? When I call them, someone always answers the phone......Matt seems particulary helpful.

depends on broker.....one is currently quoting cash @ 13/15 based on 5914 from exchange.

hedge with the spread betors who will quote you off the cash.

It is obviously only a coincidence that when there are a large number of stops in the book that the market manages to find them! There are plenty of rumours of leaks to very very large traders when there are big stops in play.
