Eric holder has said on record he's not going after any big fish because of the "risk" to the economy. Why do you think no one has been prosecuted for the financial crisis? At least Bush went after Ken Lay, Bernie ebbers and the rest of the crooks Enron etc

Well he's definitely a patsy. They just want to go after the small guy who doesn't have the resources to hire a bunch of lawyers like the banks and hedge funds. Question is this: If they say he is "spoofing", meaning submitting fake orders, how is that possible when the broker would require...

Cme has its own market making unit, another hedge fund under a guise. I bet they see the whole book.

I can tell you for a fact that this is done. Hedge funds look at their top pms and replicate their strat in their own account. Brokers do the same. IB has a prop market maker (forget the name) but would follow you.

why would anybody sell a so-called "profitable" system??? raise money from family/friends and have it mint money...if it really works.

has anyone worked directly with the cme fix/fast feed over udp?

who defines high quality? the rating agencies? don't make me laugh

yes actually you can look at the yen recently, when surprise elections were announced, nothing on cnbc/bbg until the selloff was well underway.

I've seen some of this stuff before...where is it plagiarised from?
