what is the trading firm you have an offer from? DRW and Group One are 2 different companies.

3 yrs ago i got canned from my options trading job right at the bottom of the market. nobody was hiring (or at least didnt want to hire me). i basically begged this guy to give me a trading job. he payed me nothing and the hours were 2am to 9am, horrendous. i made sure i gave 100% to this...

eurex's connection speed of 64-256 kb is a non-issue.

it was my understanding that the chicago and new york offices were money losers. the miami office is/was merely a satellite and not really worth anything. the london shop is the flagship and they got guys there who print cash.

120g's in buying power does sound like plenty but 6g's in capital honestly doesnt give you a whole lot of wiggle room. you're not giving yourself the best chance to succeed with so little capital.

most people here arent risking $1 million or anything even close to it...so thats why. but agreed risk control is important.

based on my past experience at a prop firm figure in about 6 months before you start making $500/day in profit consistantly. once that level is hit maybe another 3-6 months before you start making $1000/day. this of course assumes you become profitable at all, which honestly is very unlikely...

when i switched from prop to self-backed i was initially more aprehensive putting on trades. i was afraid of losing my own money instead of someone elses. after a few weeks i got my aggressiveness back. 2 years later im so glad i made the switch. just make sure you have confidence in...

that doesnt answer the question of what happened to it. as far as i know RTS is still operating. I know 2 people who work there and I would think they would have told me if they werent working anymore...

did you actually trade or just execute orders given to you by someone else?

for one, selling spreads means twice the commish. secondly, if one spread goes against you to the max it will take the profit away from 3 of your winners (assuming you collect all of what you sold it for and not less). this strategy just seems weak to me. you might not lose a lot of money...

i have some swamp land in florida you might be interested in, PM me for more info...

its quite obvious from context what they mean banana. now, perhaps i would find this difficult to believe if i didnt have experience trading on eurex from chicago, london and paris and found no difference in speed. you can hate on if you like but it will fall on deaf ears because i am done...

orders are timestamped at the hub you connect to. from there all the orders are put into a "holding bin" in germany and sorted out by their server. the exchange utilizes a throttle type mechanism to ensure a level playing field for all users located in cities with hubs. so actually a person...

i feel its quite important you call them yourselves so you can be educated properly and then perhaps get some suggestions to make improvements to your existing connection, if possible.

zastaber, the point i was trying to make with helsinki was that there cant be that much volume passing through there thus meaning there wouldnt need be a need to show MASSIVE demand to build one in miami, just that there is a demand. please spread the word about showing support for a miami...

sure, i will promptly answer YOUR question as soon as you tell me what tech support tells you!

go ahead banana, call the eurex tech support... tell me what they tell you!

i have thought about that actually. i figured out rather early in our conversations that you wouldnt do anything that might actually prove you were wrong. as you consider yourself an intellectual elitist you must insulate yourself from the truth in order to make sure your ego isnt bruised.

good job on your homework, banana. you certainly cant be accused of doing nothing. now for the final piece: call eurex tech support in chicago and ask them about the differences in types of connections. then go f*** yourself. apparently you think you are the smartest person on ET.
