    Bear up 300% from bid price - proof Fed panicked and defrauded

    I suppose bears book value is still > 30, maybe > 40 if they are given reasonable time to unwind. JPM would probably make >4 bln on this deal if it somehow closes. Criminal, indeed

    IB HSI futures position data was incorrect- now i'm screwed. any recourse?

    First, I want to honor gang4 for his quite mature understanding of the subject. However, honestly, I don't think it is time for IB to compensate the loss. Those "late fills" by HKFE have been an issue for years, are known by traders and are fully covered by IB's terms&conditions, putting...

    how many seconds does it take for the datafeed to get to your computer

    Guys get it right here ! The ping, geographic dist or # of hops (10 - 200msec), does not matter at all unless you have a low latency data provider or get data from the exchange directly. Most providers add delays of 100 - 3000(!)msecs. There are just 2 ways: Either house your...

    CME EAFE Futs as ER2 sequel ?

    of course not liquid yet. however the first time for months that the Merc introduces a promising vehicle to replace the ER2. another possibility I would suggest would be to reduce the ES min price movement/tick size. (or bring on the big spooz. however, this will never happen)

    CME EAFE Futs as ER2 sequel ?

    Anyone already trading the eMini EAFE futs ? Hot... Hot... Hot... I think they have the potential to replace the ER2 as a higher vola vehicle (respective ES). IMO the ER2 will simply die/dry up next summer.

    Fraudulent Behavior Button Trader

    I agree with jtrader, that this kind of behaviour does not reflect what a probably larger, reputable firm would do. But here it's more like the small local gym you probably know of, once you 'signed in', they will suck every cent out of it if it's legitimated by their paperwork (and it is in...

    Windows 64 bit problems

    Did you check whether you installed the correct 64 bit drivers ? No way I would recommed to switch back to 32 bit. XP x64 is a completely different OS (from XP) and it is far superior and much more stable. XP and XP x64 only look the same way, as I said, below the surface they are...

    Hey everyone, for those who do not follow the CBoT FF futures, this market implies now a whopping 80% chance that the Fed will lower by 0.75% until End Feb/March. This is while the stock market is around an all time high and $$$ based inflation continues to surge. I know there are...

    No more FTP tick data from ftp.cme.com

    The CME lists a few thousand products these days. The big advantage of the FTP files was you could get all at once. I do not see any other venue offering this.
