Larry is a very good commentator when he has a foil. By himself however he gets a bit carried away in that he lets his basis speak louder than his arguments

"drinking scotch at nearly it's maximum effective strength" "the effect of alcohol on different races.......... the Scotch always become militant"

I took this from the eurexchange website 8.1 OTC Block Trades To facilitate trades in larger amounts of contracts in standardized Eurex Options and Futures the Exchange offers the possibility to settle trades that have been negotiated outside the system. The Exchange defines the minimum...

By "upstairs market" I mean large block trades between large players that are never shown on the bid/ask you see for fear of moving the market. I seems that eurex allows trades to be negeoaited outside the system and then send them to eurex for clearing and reporting. I can't find the breakdown...

I too detest the half tick on the schatz. The thing is that I don't think anybody in Frankfurt cares. I worry when I am trading the Schatz that all the volume is in the "upstairs" block trading market and very little of it is made available to me. Often the chart will show that I have been...

Just a thought about Japan and currency losses. I think the way the the Japanese government looks at it is the all the money that they have made from the difference in yield over the long run will easily pay for any currency fluctuation. The trade had been highly profitable for many years a the...

Sorry I'll settle down, I am just going through a case of traders loneliness.

I not exactly a newbie. A least I have been trading long enough to know using 45 degrees as a trading indicator is just something that brokers came up with to justify "churn". My point is that IB could be a little bit clearer about things. I don't really mind on the TWS or website because people...

Clear as mud. Can you trade the overnight corn contract (zc) with interactivebrokers? Or is the bid of 211 and ask 211 1/4 that I have on my TWS just displayed data. Maybe someone who is actually with interactivebrokers should answer instead of "ids". Also IB should keep their website up to date.

Why not trade the big contract? At 2$ a bushel for 5000 bushels is only $10,000. If you "day trade" it and make sure your out before the market closes you should be alright because it doesn't move very much. (It trades while the pits are closed). Surely you can scrape $506 together to make...

Ib is great by why still no options on forex futures? The CME had the big rollout today to new electronic options and I can call it up on my tws but still no data. And my RFQ just go ignored. Another product offering that I would enjoy is eurodollar options. I sure I'm not the only one thinking...

Mark, You can trade your "sports gambling hedge fund" at any convenience store in Toronto by playing pro-line.

I would like to trade globex currency futures option, when is IB going to offer this

For retail traders the futures market is much more transparent and fair. There is no day trading rule (3 day trades a week with less than 25K)for small traders. Try trading futures overnight when there is no news coming out and see how you do. Hedge your self with a long option so you can really...
