You might find this useful....I got an advertisment for a new CME Ag Pits (Meats) squawk service from tradersaudio. They got some free trial/username&passwords going till next week. (I have copy/pasted the advertisement/email below)....The squawk seems pretty useless to me, I would think...

why did you leave the Ag pits and decide to work with Simplex (behind the screen)?

haha, no i dont think this poster is actually in need of a trading system for the blind....i think hes more worried about going blind from watching charts/computers scenes all day long. (if you were blind though)....i'm thinking that trading with a squawk (or someone who is reading the...

Has anyone every used HedgeStreet.com? It looks pretty interesting (I never even heard of it until i read this post)...initially, I thought it was just a scam, until i saw the news release that SIG & DRW are 'making markets' in their products. What are the thought from people that have...

What are you trying to say....all these athletes are getting a pass, yet Bonds is the one that everyone thinks is the problem? I do agree about that. As for Pacman, he has been a 'wannabe gangster' ever since he got into the league. I use to live in Nashville during his rookie season and I...

I'm also curious about this....no CTA's in here, or any other comments???? thanks

He's just got an extremely high work ethic and he’s very passionate about what he does. If you can’t work for a boss like that just find another job. He talks about all that stuff (working at his hedge fund - screaming at employees, breaking phones, getting piss drunk and throwing up...

why would you even want to speculate with those mini contracts....they were basically designed for hedgers that need to hedge odd lot bushels sizes. Unless your trying to take on that risk and do some arbing between the full size contract and options.

Does anyone on ET even care? Or are we all just Cubs, Sox, and NY fans? Personally, i'd love to see A-Rod pass Bonds in 6-7 years.
