The CME has taken a few people to court recently, most notably Sarao for violations such as spoofing. Given that spoofing and other market abuse has been rife on globex for well over 10 years, how long will it be before someone starts a class action suit against the CME? The expression 'hoist by...

What's with these new shitty ticks? I can't find any info about them, or explanation for the change.

Thanks for replying Winston. I've got linux MINT cinamon. I've got WINE installed. To be honest I didn't understand the rest of what you said but that will be a starting point for me to work it all out.

Does anyone run TT on a linux platform? Can it be done? Are there any futures trading software that runs on linux? (I'm new to linux -sorry if these questions are basic/obvious).

Would stock prices or bond prices be at these levels without the intervention of the Fed? For example, for the majority of Americans (or at least a large minority), the rate on the 30yr bond has no relevance to their lives. They probably couldn't get a mortgage, and if they could it would be...

True enough there will always be criminals like Jon Corzine -there was no value to me mentioning his name -I just find it cathartic to say FUCK YOU JON CORZINE at any given opportunity. I'm not proposing nationalized exchanges. As a capitalist I find that goes against the grain but we have...
