When you display on the ADF it does not provide a median to execute on. So to trade with that quote you have to route to the venue displaying. e.g. a direct link to that ECN On SM the qote can be executed against. So there is small exposure of duplicate trading on behalf of the ECN but...

Pleae explain.... Does this mean that at IB if an account does not meet the overnight margin at 3:50pm EST the computer will begin selleing out my positions until I meet the overnight maintenance amount? Thanks, :)

Sorry to start a thread over this but I deleted my cost of carry excel spreadsheet and I was hoping someone had one thy could post for me on ET. Basic thing... but a hassle to re-do in excel... You input interest and dividend and it generates cost of carry for different strikes and days to...

In your room.... working?? Doesn't sound like you understand the nature of Vegas!!! Get out there and have some fun... Stay in the middle of the strip... the walk from end to end is longer than it looks. Paris-Paris is nice and in the center. The Luxor has $5 blackjack tables if you...

I would wager the tapes are fake... Osama is a ego maniac... born into Saudi royalty, "spiritual leader" of an extremist religious group. He made videos of himself regularly to prove his contempt for the US. Unless his contempt has resided, I doubt his egoistic needs for video has either...
