No. Create an LLC, that is a disregarded entity by the IRS, and just choose pass though taxes so you are taxes like a sole proprietorship. While it wouldn't matter how you choose your LLC to be taxed, this way there is zero question period. I formed an LLC for the same reason as you...

I believe the 1.3 is in the ballpark for HFT profits in US Securities. Just look at Knight's Income statements from past years: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=KCG+Income+Statement&annual For the month of September they were ranked 7th in volume for NYSE, ARCA, and Nasdaq listed securities...

I've noticed that with calendar spreads such as Rice, Wheat, and other Ag products there is a lot more liquidity (more bids) on the long side of the spread. I believe the reason that is the case is because when you are long the spread you can take delivery on it and then close out the position...

NG - Natural Gas is very liquid as well. Unlike with Crude Oil, Natural Gas prices are minimally affected by outside markets.

By the way Runningbear, you come of as a giant bitter douche. Cheers ps There is no need to go Ghetto on ET

That is only if you are using TT NET for your data. Most TT users only use the software and provide their own data solution in conjunction with their clearing firm. Here are all the ways you can connect to the CME http://www.cmegroup.com/globex/files/connectivityoptions.pdf For example, 1...

If you "HateTheRisk" why would you put on a trade 3 hours before a crop report?

What are the specs of the server and how many users are on each one?

That's pretty much what my understanding was. Just on a side note, from my understanding on the CME you can do a change as opposed to a cancel and then replace so you just need 1 message for every quote not 2.

While they did a good job of explaining it here the audio was poor so it was difficult to catch it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwFvG-x-8Ic From what I understand mass quoting updates your options pricing all at once when the underlying changes as opposed to having to update each...

If we cancel trades whenever someone looses money every trade would be canceled... I can understand canceling a trade when a stock trades at 30 and then at 0.01 the next trade but that is about it.

I don't feel bad about them, they were very dishonest with me when telling me what rates they could offer me. Their are many other firms out there much better. If they were a good firm for anyone but very small traders they would have no problems growing.

Just because its "just numbers" doesn't mean that they are relevant to the stability of a firm.

The rational zerohedge used the rate firms is very debatable at best.

I wonder why they left out they are virtually the smallest fcm out there in terms of cash on hand and customers assetts... In the end when it comes to fraud it doesn't matter what size the firm is but coming out with a statement like that proves noting about their stability.

No you didn't, and if you did it is not profitable guaranteed.

There is no additional fee for the service, but you clearing firm has to give you permission to sign up. (They fill out the forms) I have called them a few times. Once was to get execution times for 2 orders so I could compare it with the execution time the TT fill window was providing me. A...

By remotely I mean over the internet. If you were to be trading from your clearing firms trading floor you would be directly connected to their gateways. If you loose connection you will still have your fills saved regardless of how you are connected if it is back up before the trading day...

1 - Most people that use TT aren't connecting remotely so that would never come into play. 2 - Sign up with the Globex GCC and you will be able to contact them for open positions / executions / working orders.
