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...

call advantage futures, they're awesome.

i was there a month ago. stayed at the peninsula in bangkok and some other hotel in phuket. internet was complete garbage in both places, akin to dialup. i trade futures with TT.

ive been trading over time warner cable internet in LA for the last year and until last week it was absolutely fine. then last week it started going to shit to the point where its truly un-trade-able. I use TT and its constantly slowing down then catching up. ive called time warner and they...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

im at 3rd and collins renting a new rehab. lot of air in the market here still. place i looked at last week sold for 695K last year is on market for 589k now. original owner paid 300k in 2004. another year like this and i will throw some bids out.

i see on tv that odds are 90% (or whatever) of fed cutting 50bps today. if i believe fed will cut less than 50 what is best way to sell that 90% odds? fed fund futures, front month eurodollar?

is it a new AMD machine by chance? i experienced the very same problem. i went through 2 brand new $4000 HP workstations with AMD opteron processors. then i switched to an Intel box and the problem went away. im certainly no techie and i have no idea what the prob was but when i switched the...

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.

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!

how bout doing me a favor and posting or sending me that ping time. be curious to compare it to mine here in chicago. also, while i would certainly prefer the fastest connection possible, until there is a large trading presence in dubai-which i guess will be never actually (or not anytime...

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.

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?

i was on vacation last week so i missed the fun and i dont have/use charts. can anyone tell me what the estoxx did on that move?

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.

agreed, notouch has noclue.
