There was a weekly TV series on years ago whose main characters where supposed to be floor brokers at the SIMEX I beleive. It was on the International Network, which I don't get anymore. I think the show was this one called "Bu bu wei ying" or "Out to Win" produced in Singapore in 1999 with...

Yeah, I can't imagine why anyone would want his advice now. He even admitted that he "got lucky" when he made most of that.

Hah, nope, just thought since he was brought up and this is a discussion of WSW that people might want to know what happened to him. His myspace screen name is quite telling, although he probably picked that back when he was in school.

When I asked Mr. Barker, Director of Interest Rate Products (Peter.Barker@cmegroup.com), about the 5x5 on the DOM he responded (and I'm paraphrasing here) he didn't seem to believe greater depth was very useful to traders and expressed a concern that the system could be overloaded causing data...

I've tried the Sierra Wireless AirCard 595 from Sprint using TT's X_Trader and so far it hasn't worked at all. Could be that I have lousy connection (a single bar) where I tried it from. Also, it says 3G CDMA on the card so not sure how that compares with EVDO. I can browse the web but...

Is there a way to not receive emails for new posts to forums I'm subscribed to? I'd prefer to just view them under my profile when I'm on the website rather than getting a bunch of emails. Thanks.

Precisely why I plan to move over to St. Pete :)
