    Financial Advisor

    they can work on a commission only basis in which they charge jacked up fees to do a trade or most commonly they work for a % of assets under management. under the latter there are no other fees involved. if you tell him you want to change your risk exposure every 4 months he will and it wont...

    Short DAX at 7740

    it actuallys looks pretty sweet from that angle. looks like they copied the maserati quattroporte and put the porsche headlights and badge on it. too bad from the side angle it looks like a station wagon.

    ESTX50 traders

    im still havin' at it. oh if only it were the same as 3 years ago though! a variety of factors have made it a tougher trade since then. of late, it seems as though summer trading has definitely set in. i think from open to US open today it only did like 450K contracts. a year ago at this...

    Aircards for wireless trading

    ive traded off an aircard and dont recommend it for scalping ticks which is what i do. it will disconnect occasionally, perhaps a few times a day at most. a normal ping time over my DSL line to my office in chicago from LA is 80ms whereas with the aircard its about 160ms and can range up to...

    Extremely thin Bund/bobl

    my guess would be that if your box is so fast it can get any trade it wants then there would be no reason to display any size at all which could tip off other traders to your plan.

    Extremely thin Bund/bobl

    ive noticed the same thing in FESX. i think it has to do with the "enhanced transaction solution" eurex implemented a month or so ago allowing blackboxes to be even faster leading to less displayed size.

    TT slowness on new version?

    Short DAX at 7740

    if you look at the charts you will notice the estoxx refused to go below 4410 whilst the spoos dropped 9 handles. finally someone entered a massive sell order in estoxx and dax that caused the spike down, which was quickly reversed. that is the reason.

    massive estoxx buyer

    any rumors as to who the massive estoxx buyer is? today he is buying 4425s like no tomorrow. he has been doing this for last 2 weeks, always at round prices like 4450 or 60 or 30 or... its driving me insane, let the damn thing drop!

    Trading in Dubai

    it will be slower for sure but it may not be detectably slower. basically they just want to save all the money involved with connecting to the eurex hub in dubai and buying all the required servers. so just loop everything back. thats my guess.

    Trading Eurex from Brazil

    way to revive wonder... thing is about eurex is that you can get about 200ms time rio to chicago but then it has to go another 140 ms to germany... out of curiosity, can you find a way to ping something directly in germany and tell me what time that is?

    2007 Copa America.

    i feel it has nothing to do with dunga. its a completely new team devoid of its 2 best players as well (kaka and ronaldinho). it needs time to come together. and the fact that WC qualifiers start in the fall of this year is insane.
