I know it is coming, but no one in my office or any of the guys I talk to know when the CME is going to bring it into the complex. I have heard a rumor of end of March. Anyone have something concrete on date?

Totally rumor, but I was talking to my dad and brother ,who both live in the Dallas area, about this the other day. They were claiming that T Boone has all that land up in west Texas because an aquafor was found there. So Boone, allegedly, is trying to get the electricty trasmission lines up...

There is plenty of size at night and since banks generally stick to their our business hours when working orders... there is enough paper to move the market around The big issue of night versus day is risk/reward. If you are ready for the high risk/high reward time of the market (the day...

When I started trading treasuries a few years ago, my prop shop started all of us in the European trading session (1am to 730am ct). There has always been decent volume, etc but it really is the minor leagues. For a new guy the risk/reward profile is probably the best in that market. My...

It seems to find where it is going to be for the day within the first 10 or 15 minutes with regard to the price difference for the day. If this is the case is it possible to determine where this price difference will be for the day before the open?

I have a question that has been nagging me for months. I am a bond trader but obviously look at the ES and the YM in the morning before the dow open. Can someone tell me what determines the spread between the YM and the dow cash on any given day? Sometimes it tracks very closely while some...

This mouse is nasty. Have it at my house for my media center PC..... Unbelievable performance http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2135,CONTENTID=10716

These guys make/move the markets in the USTs and I know they watch for the my clearing firm's number and match our fills real time. The most obvious example of this abuse is at night: We will get to a way extended low in the outrights, my coworkers and I (who aren't small for the night...

I know for a fact that all the big GHCO use and abuse counterparty. So while he might say the markets at the CBOT and the CME need to be anonymous, he undoubtedly loves the money his big boys steal from people. Matching fills with counterparty is totally for crooks. Edit: Several times...

fixed income guys (and anoyne who uses TT) know Brumfield. Older brother owned the pits and now owns TT. Hardy Brumfield now owns the TY on the screen.

While your system looks to be a little bit weak, I think a lot of the problems off of NFP were on the exchange side. Off of numbers lately my entire office has been crawling and we all use xeons, 2gb ram, matrox quad cards (basically all top of the line). We also run on fiber. We switch...

Fake orders are everywhere, whether it is an order that takes a price sellers every time it goes bid (iceberg), or it is the 6000 lot that comes in the TY when hardy is trying to squeeze the last drops out of his scalp before he takes it the other way. There are like 30 pages of different...

I think I pay 1500 a month for Xtrader Pro (has autospreader). It is somewhere around there, but it comes directly out of my trading account so my office manager just deals with it.
