Ok. I have attached 6 pairs. I assumed AB in your pairs is the ER2. A couple of things to consider when looking at these: [list=1] All times are CST in the USA (Chicago). CQG automatically only correlates the period of the market where both products are open. Hence, the ES is open all day but...

What is AB? I can't find that symbol. I'm assuming it is the ER2.

Can you give me a time frame and how many bars back the correlation should be computed on?

Since I am scalping the DAX and YM, correlations are extemely important for my type of trading. I'm not sure if you can do this in eSignal, but in CQG you can plot the correlation as the market is moving. It is interesting to see how the correlation whips around all day (depending on the bar...

NTKN has both Reuters and Bloomberg as well as other data/news feeds. I have dropped all the pro news feeds myself for their service. I had been using TTN for a while (same people who provide LOS.net). I find that someone reading the numbers and news into my headphones is much faster than when I...

I trade at a customer only firm. I highly recommend them. If you wish to get more info, please PM me. Good luck.

TTN has been on a downhill slide. It was an easy switch. NTKN has some growing pains but they are very aggressive about getting better and will listen to suggestions. I think they have a good plan with a good CEO. Pretty sharp group of guys.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. They are trying to bring volume to the exchange and they have an opportunity with the ER2 because it is not under contract like the DOW, S&P and NASDAQ. They could easily generate 60,000 contracts per day for the exchange from this contract alone. That's more...

Russell on EurexUS has been delayed. They say they are focusing more on options now. I think this is a mistake. The Russell is very expensive on CME. Making it available on EurexUS at a fee competitive with the CME member fee would have generated a huge amount of volume for EurexUS. Anyway...

Geneva is a very decent firm. They have some top traders there. The deals might not be so good, but they may have changed since I last checked. Stay away from Matrix. Your check will always be late and they will always have excuses why. I still know many traders there.

That depends on how the system does overall. It would be unwise to just jump in and throw 10-lots around without being thoroughly familiar with the system's drawdowns and other statistical expectations. I follow this thread because I think it is interesting to see simplicity at work.

Anyone have any updates?

I got NTKN to work and am very happy with it. I have canceled TTN. NTKN is awesome with futures whereas TTN just focuses on stocks. I won't even start to say what the negative points are on TTN. NTKN has a futures and equities channels. I have had both of them running now for 2 weeks at the same...

Well... suggestion: I would set my buy stop one tick below that 1.0033 entry point and sell stop one tick above the 0.9967 entry point, Darth. That way, when my 10-lot stop is triggered, you can make a quick tick or two if you get out right away. Also, that size should encourage the faders to...

Does anyone here trade the ER2 enough to know if it can absorb 10-lots without too much slippage using this system instead of 1 contract? Just curious.

I'm a member of the CBOT. Any comments I would make about traders being loyal customers would be as sarcastic as your remark about trading a market without liquidity. A loyal trader is one who will not accept change when it happens (the definition of loyalty) and, therefore, will wither away as...

Yeah... the current incentive program is pretty sweet. Looking at the DOM though, I think it is just a bunch of machines in there arbing the CBOT. It doesn't trade intuitively... just a bunch of bid and asks and cancels throughout the day.

Well.... I wish they would get the ER2 on there soon. I would definitely pay more attention. I am a member of EurexUS and have been trying to participate in the incentive program (got an X-Box so far but no $$$). It would be awesome if the added the ER2 and included it with no fees and on the...

Nice job. I enjoyed looking at the spreadsheet.

That's right. Like I said, this only applies to Globex mini products. If a trader is doing enough volume and can't afford the $175,000 IOM membership seat cost, then this is definitely the way to go.
