There are players out there replicating the implieds and I know the implied prices are generally tradable. There are a lot prices that can go into implied prices for options as you're dealing with much more than just calender spreads. This has to a ripe market with alot of potential.

I looked at the price banding report as well and it looks like I was wrong. CME does not support implied prices for options spreads.

CME does match implied options prices but for only a limted group of options strategies...cal spreads, verticals, stradle, strangle and I think a few more

You can, but there are alot of variables as far as what you wish to use as your basis (cheapest to deliver, on the run, a weighted avg of all available, etc). If you have xtrader, talk to your fcm about their trading in yield functionality. cme provides a treasuries conversion factor...

tt has a developers website you can join and get what you need to develop to their gateways. i've taught myself some basic development skills off their samples guides. http://devnet.tradingtechnologies.com/DevNet/Downloads/GettingStarted.aspx

Isn't there an inherent declining return on investment (for your traders at least) when you encourage them all to pusue the same strategy?

Noone has access to stop orders at CME. Market makers do not hold 'order books' like market makers in the pits. They run algos to generate markets. they're compensated with lowering clearing fees and front of order book priority.

There is plenty of opportunity to make money spreading the curve on CBOT contracts. A simple NOB spread alone has had substantial range already today. Get a spreading application and have at it.

They will crush you. FCMs can roll/covert the exposure at any time then assign to you the worst possible price of the day. Anything within the days range. They pocket the differential. This can be a sizeable chunk of change when you net the FCM company wide exposure from all of their customers.

Technical indicators often lead news that can change the market. Look at the failure on volumne delta and failure(s) in stohs. Sugar is in for a big drop.

This is a silly way of interpreting PE. This is looking at actual earning which are irrelevant. I don't buy a stock to participate is its earnings from last year. Whomever owned it at that time participates in trailing earnings. I don't care what the company I own made last year. What will...

Which part of overnight to with to trade? During Asian hours...about 4pm to 12 midnight EST you can trade TOCOM gold which has a nice market. I just started trading this myself recently. It's spreadable vs. the old cbot (now liffe) gold contract. I also play around at SGX and SFE during that...

CME has exchanged defined Inter Commodity Spreads (ICS) with ratio standards. http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/files/ICS_Ratios__December_2009_Contracts.pdf

Equity prices, in particular equity futures, are forward look looking. What's the point of buying a company for what they made last year? You don't own the company yet so you don't participate in the profits. If I'm going to buy a company, I want to know what the earning potential is. What...
