I'm bored, so pardon me for answering this. The peformance bonds are set by the exchanges and must be honored by all brokers. However, they are overnight requirements only. During liquid market hours there is not an exchage requirement.

You two are starting to sound like Randolf and Mortemer(sp?).:D

A couple of things: 1. If your so sure of this, I hope you bot on the close to particpate with him. 2. I guess every MM for MSFT had the same idea. It gapped even more this morning. 3. Why take a big position long overnight in front of earnings? Sorry, I just don't quite...

But what did the speacialist do? You got filled at the HOD, unless my quotes are wrong.

what happened?

I see you had one of "those days"

Wide spreads. Quotes not honored. Autoex turned off. Busted trades. Crossed markets. Cancels that are not allowed. sheesh.... If I wanted that many problems in my daily life, I would be married.

You are correct. I was watching the market and I made that post a little short. Looking forward when the public gets tired of this bear market, I think some will start looking at other avenues. If inflation shows up, I would not be surprised to see a 70's type interest in commodities and metals.

My my my........ Just when you think you have seen every stupid scam in the book, they write an appendix.

I'm with you on that one. I am becoming more and more interested in Commodities. Mainly because the writing is on the wall for the stock market. While I still see plenty of trading opportunities in my time frame(1-3days, and sometimes weeks), I am afraid that will probably change a few years...

Very interesting. If it was not for you, I would not have known the exchange even existed. Thanks, Cheeks

While I cannot say I follow Todd completely. But when he is leaning one way and I am trading in the other, I definitely sit back and carefully rethink my position.

I have another question about MGE. How big a trading account do you need(realistically)? Once you lease a seat, how much are clearing and exchange fees per contract? Thanks, Cheeks

hehehe... Every time I see the flashing bulletin in TWS, it like "hmmm...... I wonder what's wrong with ARCA now?"

Are you sure you want to daytrade a pit traded contract from off the floor? If you think you can do it, more power to you. Just expressing a little concern for your P&L.:)

Don't sugar coat it. Tell us how you really feel!:D

Granted, but I still do not think I would want to cut my stock price in half in a bear market. I would avoid any possibility of becoming a NASDAQ "single digit midget".:eek:

Hehehe.... Don't worry. I doubt anyone could have been more wrong than I have been this week.:)

hehehe... Good Point!:)

Yeah, me too. Is there any volume in electonic grain contracts?
