Is it really that big of a bubble or are prices up here because the dollar is in the crapper? Oil, gold, wheat, etc. are all international commodities. I mean if you're paying for this stuff in Euros, it's much less expensive for you. Prices haven't increased nearly as much for euro...

Are we seeing SPAM on this thread from a trading computer retailer? Hahahaha. "In this world nothing is certain but death, taxes, and spam."

Also, you do understand that the cash you are looking at is not real-time. I forget the actual figures, but it only updates in specific time intervals, like once ever 10 secs or something. If you want actual tick for tick cash value of the s&p, dow, or whatever, you need to get a Bloomberg...

Yeah. I agree Fisher is the only guy there with a backbone. He's the only guy that voted for no change at the last FOMC meeting after the surprise cut due to SG rogue trader. Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, Vice Chairman...

IB is not as cheap as you think it is. The other two firms that were recommended Fortis and Fimat can give rates that will crush IB's. That being said, IB is great for retail trading. If you're looking to get excange memberships, trading off of platforms other than TWS, like TT, get your...

I think the majority of the movement is due to our ever decreasing currency the US dollar and not OPEC's fault. Just price oil in oz of gold and see how much it has really moved.

Ok. But I am assuming by Hong Kong server, the OP wants the clearing firm to have their order servers in Hong Kong. Maybe I'm wrong, but Radianz and Yipes only connect you from point A to point B. There still has to be a point B to connect to. For example, if I trade HSI futures from...

I think this is going to be the issue that narrows the pool down a lot for you. As far as I know, only the biggest clearing firms has servers located in Asia and in the US. You know, GS, Calyon, Man, UBS, etc. etc.

2.8 Mil. Yes, they take accounts smaller than that.

You should check this place. They have a 3 monitor stand mount that uses a curved bar. They are reasonably priced. http://ergomart.com/lcd_monitor_stands/lcd_monitor_stand.htm I have 2 quad mounts LS 1528 Q's but I only use the upper mounts and just rest my other screens on my desk. You...

Just giving you a heads up. 2/10's of a second is nothing to write home about. 200 ms for a fill is completely unexceptable, unless you're talking Eurex. For CME/CBOT on globex try about a tenth of that or less for an acceptable fill time. This is on TT.

Yes you got me I am a fraud!!! I don't trade, I just spend time ET pretending to in between burger flips :D OK. Let me rephrase, CQG sucked FOR ME compared to certain other charting platforms. There are certain charts that I would've liked to look at that were not chartable on CQG...

There's usually at least one guy like this at a lot of firms. I found it amusing, can break up an otherwise dull or stressful day with a laugh.

Just don't even land in that airport at all. It looks like you could get screwed just having a short layover or transfer there.

Yeah my info is a day or so old. Wow! $20. How much further can this realistically go? I'm starting to get worried. No I'm not short, but yes I will need to buy beer in the future.

There are alot of new threads with ppl being stuck short. It's making me wonder if they are all BS. Call broker tell him you're stuck short X contracts and you want to cover synthetically in the options pit. He should know what you mean and should help you out with the rest.

KC and Minni wheat are much stronger than chicago. ZW is the weakest wheat product right now. If you look at minni it's practically been limit up for a month. I think it's sythetically trading around $17. There's little chance of buying another wheat product without ZW coming off first...

Officially crossing Dubai off the list of places I am going to visit. What an idiotic place.

Yes, it's called the state franchise tax board and they do enforce the 'gum' tax. We as consumers pay the tax, yes. But what about the retailers? Big chains, yea, they probably are honest about their sales. What about mom and pop stores? Hahahaha, I bet 90% of mom and pop stores only...

Ok. I live in So Cal. I mean unless we set-up minefields and maybe motion detected guns, I'm pretty sure they're gonna continue to come over. Being practical here, I really just wish we didn't extend any type of welfare, public services, or tax dollars other than enforcement dollars to...
