    OneChicago Closing.....

    In the early days of the OneChicago, I asked them why only 100 shares per contract and why they have listed stocks that are traded in the single dollars. The notional value did not make sense to give it an advantage over stocks. Also, the margin is 20% (maintenance and initial) and that would...

    CME site: new design is the dumbing down of retail traders.

    ......And Warren Buffett does not have an email, and Moses would only take calls unless it's from God directly. To each his own. We all have different ways to interact with media(digital or print), but I have learned to organize my life digitally and with less paper. I still buy books, not...

    CME site: new design is the dumbing down of retail traders.

    Use Google with the word CME and the product you need. Am I missing anything? Who goes to sites and navigates through endless pages nowadays?

    trading software that allows you to trade several accounts

    You need a Trade Copier for MT4. Basically every single time you trade it gets copied to your customers. You will be a signal provider, and your customers get the trade every single time you trade. I suggest talking to your current broker or one you trust for such a solution.

    trading software that allows you to trade several accounts

    Why do you need different accounts for the same strategy? Is it because you want a different size in each account? And, what asset class you trade? Spot FX?

    "Race To $2 Trillion" Has Now Entered The WS Vernacular

    I had the same discussion today with a colleague. Expertise gave birth to a new type of monopoly.

    Looking into Robinhood Traders - what makes them so special...

    RH did not "gamify" trading. They turned their customers into a game. The customer thinks he is a trader, RH thinks he is the product.

    NQ DOM Impossible to Trade With - Now @10K the Tick Size Has to Change

    The CME clearing cost is not 1/10. If you take the ES, the CME fee is 1.18, for MES it's 20 cents. If it was 1/10, it would be 11.8 cents. But, it's almost double. You also need to add routing that at times is just as expensive as the exchange. There is a level that is good for MES Micro...

    How do brokers keep clients from leaving?

    I am trying to be as direct as I can to help you. Your question is out of context and in the wrong order. The question you should ask first is "How do brokers attract clients?" What is the basis of the customer opening the account from the first place? Was it technology, or commissions...

    How do brokers keep clients from leaving?

    The form of compensation, or investing/trading method is irrelevant to this discussion (in my opinion). The customer's concern is liquidation because of market decline. The broker/financial advisor/money manager could provide advice and alleviate concerns, but you must respect the customer's...

    CME: "Stop with Protection" Rule

    Per your example, 2908 becomes a Buy Limit (not Buy Stop Limit) if the market is at 2930.

    How do brokers keep clients from leaving?

    Here is what you write: When a customer wants his money you send him his money. The end. Some may want to close because they need the $$, some may not be able to stomach the volatility and some may have better opportunities for their $$.
