    The Fall of Refco Trading Services

    if Man had wanted to be in the prop/arcade business, I guess they would already have a presence, they've been around long enough to have done this. Seems like they dont want to be in the prop business and having got rid of the core of RTS business to Marathon, they are closing down the...

    EURODOLLAR Information

    The spreads are seperately quoted markets, based on the differential between contract months - derived by subtracting the bid of one market from the ask of the other, depending on whether you want to be long or short the spread. the spreads are deep and liquid, with volume diminishing as you...

    EURODOLLAR Information

    I trade Eurodollar futures spreads. The guys are right - front month outright Eurodollar contract sucks ass, and its also denominated in quarter ticks as opposed to half ticks for the rest of the Eurodollar delivery months - thats $6.25 a tick vs $12.50 a tick - just not worth it. If you...

    My Prediction For Oil

    CL is the WTI nymex light crude pit contract. QM emini version is only quoted front month which sucks. The only decent all electronic full size crude contract is the IPE brent crude contract, which is quoted as outrights and spreads all the way out past 2012 delivery

    New Rogue Trader hits the Copper Market, gets Squeezed

    that would be the masterstroke wouldn't it - the ultimate contrarian market control. Talk the market down so that it actually goes up and you can spank it at the higher price.

    EUREX HUB in Miami anyone?

    are you talking about Eurex exchange gateways? Eurex will install a gateway anywhere if you pay them for the service. Not cheap however. Surely you are better going in with one of the arcades in Miami who have their own existing gateway?

    New Rogue Trader hits the Copper Market, gets Squeezed

    Wasnt the story on this one that the SRB was already trying to talk the price of copper down when it revealed that it has 1.2 million tons of copper in reserve? Normally governments are extremely tight lipped about their copper reserves. The short position, if there is one, was possibly due...

    Spread Trading Drying Up

    There are still plenty of opportunities - you just have to be patient and wait to work the better setups. problem is that the general volatility in LIFFE interest rate markets is so low at the moment. But realistically, UK & European interest rates have been stagnant for the last two years...

    TS's order problem

    yes, TS8 syntax seperates long and short entry orders: thus if you were to "Buy 10 at market" and then "sellshort 10 at market" the paltform would actually sell 20 to make you short 10. The EL instruction to go flat from long would be to "sell 10 at market"

    where does the money come from?

    you're missing out spreaders on globex - those who buy the front month and sell the next month - to profit from differences in contract prices and the spread.
