    Eurex USA offering 1 free year of trades

    I have access to Eurex US, and let me tell you, it is terrible right now....it follows the US contracts, but hardly trades..maybe a few thousand per session, i've actually completely stopped looking at it. Esignal, Trading Tech, & CQG are offering the exchange at no cost, but at this point it...

    looking for clearing firm to clear remote eurex trader

    Fortis does not clear locals. they don't want the hassle. GH, on the other hand will clear locals, but they are not a GCM on eurex, or an FCM at the CME, they only have FCM status at the CBOT. its kind of like wholesale(fortis), middle man(GH or Matrix), & retail (the extortionists that tell...

    looking for clearing firm to clear remote eurex trader

    They clear through Fortis,(division is probably not the right word)...For the sake of accuracy, my Bund, Bobl, Schatz rate per side is approximatley 36 euro cents. Fortis is actually not in the business of clearing locals. In 2000, the TransMarket Group's clearing side was bought by Fortis...

    looking for clearing firm to clear remote eurex trader

    I clear thru Matrix Trading, a division of Fortis. For Eurex, I pay about .84 US cents a round trip. I trade from a remote location as well. GoldenbergHeymeyer also has pretty competitive rates--I traded remotely via goldenberg as well. Matrix is at the CBOT, as is GH. You may want to give...
