the pit watches ES and uses ES very, very much. it's an indicator, not necessarily a great indicator, but it's another piece of info.

There is a tremendous amount of ES volume that is generated by the pit. Go look for yourself, the pit is surrounded by traders on laptops scapling minis and trading strategies with partners in the pit arbing out orders.

I see what you mean. Have you considered entering the orders independently? You can place your limit order first then link them in the order book. I found that in the online help. Have you asked TT about this? They have a webpage where you can post questions...

It sounds like you're setting a 'breakout' OCO. I read the XT help section on OCO's and there are three kinds. By default, the breakout OCO is enabled. You need to go into properties and select 'bracket' from the OCO drop down box. After doing so, you may select the two order types. You...

i use tt's autospreader alot...its a great tool and has gotten better in the last few months since they added queue holder which holds positions in the exchnage order book. i haven't used the autotrader app at all. i'm looking into learning it however. do you use autotrader?

I've been using the trailing stops since we first installed 7.4.2. My group has wanted this feature for some time. I'm real happy with it as it allows me to step away from the desk a bit more often. I've only just started using OCO's and say too much. one of my partner swears by the...

No. It is not limited to US only. CME and all the major exchnages have gateway hubs all over the world. therefore, trading in london or tokyo or chicago should be at effectively the same speed.

if the ISV is a certified distributor for CME, they have direct gateways to the exchange. this costs more, but the date feed (quotes, orders) are considerably faster that an ancillary distributor. these secondary distributors purchase a gateway from another distributor. this slows downs...

There are some big differences in products and how them present them. ICE is very cutting edge with some of the things they are doing. They use implication like no other exchange and this will change the market place. Implication adds to more granular price discover and opens up tremendous...

There's still good money to be made in CME currency options. Volatility had drained and cut into our premiums for writing. Careful implementation of risk reversals on days when the market spikes one way or the other still pays. The introduction of FXMS is going to be huge and will add...

A few traders in my group use tt's autotrader religeously. I've never heard of useing tradestation with tt and I don't know why you would what benefit is there to doing this? How would you do this anyway? Does TradeBullet write to the tt gateways or something? this is beyond my tech...

Thanks for betting back to me Bernard. I've since installed the new tt stuff (7.4.2 as well as the latest charting xstudy). My CPU has dropped ALOT. it looks like the performance improvements are for real...I use mulitiple market grids and a few excel spreadsheets so i've been concerned about...
