Where is Mr. Hunter and what is he doing these days?

The cynic in me believes the agriculture department is lying. What would be the rationale for Europeans wanting a trading break..to have some English tea? Nonetheless, thanks for the suggestion. I will send them an email now.

I also just noticed that ICE margins for grains are about 50% of CME margins. See here: https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/futures_us_reports/all/Futures_US_Margin_Requirements.pdf With reduced margins, cash settled products (thus avoiding delivery issues), extended hours, CE grains are...

Hi RedDuke, You trade through IB? I wish there were more brokers offering it other than IB?

Is this KOSPI 200 contract truly available for trading on GLOBEX? It's over three years since the announcement, but I do not see it on GLOBEX (at least not through my trading platforms) How can one trade KOSPI on Globex? What broker (not including IB) offers it?

I have the same question! Can one trade Kospi 200 via Globex? If so how? What brokers other than IB offer Kospi?

I agree that he is a "gut-feel' guy ..but that is discretionary global macro - synthesis of various market fundamentals and technicals to form an inner opinion. Now are you arguing that synthesis process cannot represent "alpha"?

Why is that? And Bridgewater? Who would you choose?

You know I am thinking hard of other "alpha generators" and perhaps only Tudor & Bridgewater come to mind. Do you agree with these choices? Who else would you list?

Why do you consider Cohen an d"Alpha Crook" No other "true alpha genrator" other than "Jim Simmons with Medallion"??

Thanks so much, Frank!

Hello, I am trying to partition a drive on a new laptop as many seem to recommend doing so. yet others advise against it. So, two questions: 1. Using Windows 7 Disk Management tool my 700GB HDD can only be shrunk to 336GB...which is strange for a brand new drive. Also 336GB is too...

Thanks Frank! Of the various "Adblock" addons here, is there one in particular you recommend. When I search I see only one one "Flashblock" but several "Adblock'; listings. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=adblock&appver=18.0&platform=windows

Why are the pit traders in support of the 1:15pm close? Why do we still have pits?

That is correct. Market is open on ICE..just is NOT trading due to liquidity. Right now there is an offer of 2 contract s at 745.5 - NO BIDS. CBOT ZSH3 closed at 729.5

ICE has a longer trading day: 22 hours vs 21 hours. Yes there have been more gaps on the 5pm CST open of late. ICE has no liquidity because everyone is still trading on the CME/CBOT. If the ICE were wise they would introduce aggressive DMMs and introduce fee waivers to attract volume.

Frankly, why are we traders trading CME grains instead of ICE grains. https://www.theice.com/us_grains.jhtml ICE grains are cash settled which is also another advantage since traders have no interest in taking delivery. ICE also has lower fees. Extended trading hours, making...

I suggest: 1. All traders send CME emails opposing this 2. All traders move to the ICE if the CME maintains their position to reduce trading hours.
