I am unclear on the trading hours of the GLOBEX futures? http://www.cme.com/about_cme/about_tradinghours.cfm This website says the ES and NQ are not traded from 3:15 - 3:45. (15:15 - 15:45) I assume this is AM. Is ths East Coast Time or Chicago time? Does this mean the ES and NQ...

I have a demo account going with them... The software seems very simple to use. Offer streaming quotes in a small box. But it seems perfect for ES and NQ trading. I do not know anything of commish, or service. :)

I used to have an IB account for stocks and options... Is the futures screen the same format...? Do you have a picture of it you can post? Are you sure you cannot dream a better window? :)

What would the ideal futures order entry screen look like for you? I was asked this by a broker at the online trading expo in Anaheim... they are developing a futures trading platform. I have not yet traded any futures, so I told her what I thought would be good... it would be a...

SSF will be non-fungible for the first 2 years of trading. This is a markeeting ploy to gather order flow by the exchanges. There is 4 players the NQLX, OneChicago, AMEX and ISLD futures. The Peterfy BOX will be trading them if and when they get approval for their exchange. This...

THey will only be available via a direct line to the AMEX when the release of SuperMontgage takes place. your broker must have access via a "CMS" line... (don't quote me on the acronym.) :)

More Rookie stuff... I thought the further out the future the more expensive? Why is ES2U always a higher bid than ES2Z? U = Sep and Z= Dec right? Do the ES and NQ settle in cash? What is the proper hedge of QQQ or SPY for one of these futures contracts? :)

Also... I feel confident ISLD Futures will show their size? AMEX, NQLX and BOX (when it is born) will surely follow suit. :)

I heard they will be showing volume... at least at OneChicago. :)

Is the Mid West Exchange the same as the CHX? I am not sure how they fit in if they are not. Rake (the pot) is correct in the staus of the AMEX and CHX. :)

sorry for this but I could not post earlier... :)

It depends on what you are trading... :)

AMEX is NOT participating in Super Montage. AMEX will participate in ADF. The same is true for Cincinnati... but ISLD provides access. Does anyone know if Chicago Stock Exchange will be in Super Montage? AMEX is trying to position itself for large order flow in Nasdaq securities...

Which company is "X"? :)

I do not need TV either... as long as I have a diret cable line into my computer so I never miss an episode of the real world!! Big Brother, Survivor!! Bring it!! I love the PC/TV unit when I cannot sit in front of the big screen watching DVD's from Netflix or scrolling through the...

Does anyone know how the margin on these securities will work? I know they agreed to 20% of the underlying value of the contract... e.g. 5 contracts * stock is 50 * underlying 100 = $5000 margin Isn't future margin calculated intraday? How often? What happens when you get an...

I have had some luck in the past trading re-orgs with options. I was hoping to start a string posting wierd re-org situations and explaining them to the confused. Anyone have an interesting one to look at? :)

This is assuming that the bullet is just an offsetting ITM put... it is suposed to be a short call and long put. I bet the only reason bulet companies were closed after Sep 11. is for book work, and sysem updating (counting all the commish they make selling fake positions). If the...

Any idea why retail firms do not offer them? Is it economics or regulatory? :)

Might be easier to just go buy the call... :)
