also I think skype has some kind of built in noise feedback cancelling as I have not personally had problems with my mic picking up sounds from the speakers

you should be good with any microphone, no difference in the functionality :) Just a thought with regards to the office skype... there are over 1M skype users now and I do occasionally get calls from wrong numbers or people i dont know who call randomly for a chat. Might be a good idea to...

on the hands free thing, my skype is setup with a desktop USB mic and sound coming from my PC speakers, so I have handsfree of a sort and easy to implement

skype is true peer to peer... no gateways. was designed by the people who were behind the P2P network for kazaa. sound quality has to be heard to be believed - you will be surprised I am sure, because I sure was that a call could be conducted from UK to west coast US with no discernible lag...

having now taken a moment to look thru skype settings options I see it is possible to check an "automatically answer calls" checkbox... so ignore my previous comments

it works like an internet phone... so you call in remotely and someone will need to click at the receiving end to pickup the call. you could then leave it running indefinately I guess. It may be possible to setup a macro to pick the call up when skype starts ringing but I have never had to do...

I use skype every day when talking to traders all over the world. Crystal clear UK > US with no lag... and best of all - calls are free!

From the Eurex US website: Sep 01 2004 Trading volume on Eurex US, the fully-electronic U.S. futures and options exchange, continues to grow, with monthly trading volume in August reaching over one million contracts for the first time. In August, trading volume on Eurex US rose 56 percent to...

that would make a market worth manipulating! run those stops! :D

thats very interestinng that you can see the order composition on globex... can you see stops and stop limits working as well?

Hairytrader, Eurex exchange has similarly strong rules prohibiting wash trading

and theres the big SP to factor in too... if ES gets more than a tick or two out of line with the SP, all the arbitrage traders will be buying one market and selling the other because as long as there is a discrepancy of 1tick+ there exists a no risk guaranteed profit for arbing between the two...

no its not. wash trading is where you hit your own bids - ie: offer 100 to sell and then buy 100 from yourself at the market and stay flat. Sitting on both sides of the spread is just as permissible as sitting on one side alone, and you can only do that with real limit orders. If someone hits...

Agree with this point - 2 second tick netting is crap compared to e-cbot.

Think the fee's might be free for at least a year, tho if the CBOT can match them that would be great! Eurex US fees are only 20c per side anyway. Besides, Eurex "US" is a US company with US employee's and registered as a US exchange so whichever way you route your still "keeping it in the...
