Do some future brokers take the other side of a market execution for a poor fill? Example, lets say I place a market order to buy NQ, and I get filled at 18000.25? But the ask has been at 18000 even and never has moved off of that. Essentially they are taking a quarter for themselves. (I know...

The court is not trying to answer this question if you read through the filings. This case seems to be focused on something entirely different. https://cmelawsuit.com/

Yeah it's just surprising to me that the CME can drag this out this long. Many of these seat holders are senior citizens when the lawsuit was filed and may die before it's settled. It says a lot about our legal system. On the other hand, seat prices may dramatically rise if the plaintiffs win or...

Has anyone been following the Langer v CME Group lawsuit? It was filed a decade ago and still an active case. It deals with the significant decline in membership prices.

Yes, so i have downloaded Esignal21 and fooled around with it for hours. For my purposes, it just wasn't a suitable alternative. I didn't even think of MultiCharts, but now that I'm looking into it, it seems like that might be the suitable alternative. Thanks for that. Will let you know how it...

Hi, I am also a long time Qcharts user and played around with the Esignal platform. Honestly, it wasn't for me, but hoping not to sign up for another service. From my understanding, you can still use Qcharts, but they won't provide any support for it. So if you upgrade to Windows 11 or beyond...

Cash is safe? Inflation historically is not a one year phenomenon. Normally it rises year over year in the short term. So let’s say you lost 10 percent this year, you could easily lose 10 percent next year (at the minimum)

This is more about shifting liability away from the brokers to the investor. This has very little (if anything) to do about protecting the individual investor. The broker is the middle guy. The question is do you need to check a mark when you enter a casino? The answer is no. Because there is no...

Athletes and musicians earn a lot of money and have the freedom to take on risk. But they will never have true wealth like the Steve Cohen's of the world who know how to actually capitalize on risk.

Randomly, a friend of mine was held up at gunpoint for his watch last month in Chelsea. I love NYC, and been here since the mid-90's. Regardless of politics, I can tell you NYC has not gone back to the early 90's, but it is also not a place where you should be wearing an expensive watch out...

If you really aren't interested in gaming, VAIO is lightweight and reliable computers for trading purposes. (2.4 pounds for the 14 inch and 2.0 pounds for the 12.5 inch.) They are pricey, but sometimes they come on sale during the holidays.

Has anyone noticed CME membership seats (IOM) have soared in the last few months? They were trading as low as $16,000 just 2-3 months ago. It just traded at $55,500 today. Might be a good trade for the next few years to come with the increased volatility.
