    Cost Structure for CME Futures Traders

    I'd imagine that if they choose to extend the program then seat prices may drop in the near term. I am thinking about purchasing the GEM seat but I want to wait for the anouncement first. I'd hate to buy it and then see the price drop in half after.

    Cost Structure for CME Futures Traders

    Anyone have any comments on what the discontionuation, or continuation of the ECM program will do to seat prices. From what I was told you currently don't need to either own or lease a seat to parcipitate in the program, but if they end it you will then need to.

    Cost Structure for CME Futures Traders

    Does anyone know about leasing just the GEM seat. I saw on the CME site that the lease is only $200 per month for this and you can trade the ER2. Since I trade only the ER2 this would be a great starting point for me since my monthly volume is borderline. I talked to Velocity Futures but...

    What is the worst one day loss you ever had?

    6K in 30 seconds. 5% of my account. I held through the Fed meeting. Never again, It was the first and last time I do that. I had already booked some nice profits on a swing trade in the er2, so I figured I would hold since I had a nice cushion built in already. I added to my position...

    How would be best to use the Tick16 for the Russell 2000. Apply it on the index itself or do you have a symbol list or custom symbol for this. I thought about creating a custom symbol list but 2000 stocks is a lot. I was thinking about applying the Tick16 to maybee the top 350 by market cap...

    Squawk box, big contract useful or not??

    The firm I just joined has an S&P squawk box blasting all day long in our trading room. I was curious as to the question that does the big contract have a tendancy to lead the E-mini or not. I have found the squawk box a bit annoying and have been thinking about just putting on some head...

    screen recording software

    Yeah, I just did a search and there are a lot of products ranging from $29 to $300. So I was wondering if anyone has ever used anything particular, since I would most likely buy a cheaper product first and don't know how well it will work.

    Which is more important in Index Futures? Entry or Exit?

    I think Exits are more important. You never lose your shirt on a poor entry, however if your entry is bad the odds of making any money on the trade a greatly diminished. What I have been doing the past few months with great sucsess is to average both into and out of my positions. I used...
