    http://www.thetradersclearingalliance.com/ It's been done in London for a few years, they're looking to open in the states if the demand is there but I think each trader backs themselves at TCA

    BOBL to half tics June 8th?

    Yeah actually I agree it looks like it's going the same way as the schatz. More record commissions for eurex and less bang for your buck!

    I believe there is more complication on the US side in that the traders are salaried employees due to the laws whereas in europe the traders are entirely self employed

    The Fall of Refco Trading Services

    Sorry that's where the London traders still pick up their statements, which is odd as we are owned by http://www.marathonfund.com now. Our american arm has stayed with MAN and is now a completely separate set up. That means the London traders can no longer go the the american offices to...

    Any word from Refco Trading Services?

    i have had many issues with refco pro in the past, it has got better but remains less robust as an overall package. couple of nice features though. In time it may get better but the movement is still irratating some of the time and there are marginal updating issues. TT is still the leader...

    Ex MAC/Refco traders

    I dont think traders will buy back Mac from Refco. Maybe a couple of the smaller offices will go seperate, but anyone who does buy Refco will probably be left with more trainees/ weak traders than experienced successful traders. BTW they are interviewing for a new graduate program as I write.

    Ex MAC/Refco traders

    dogfish is actually wrong about the situation. leverage has been cut in ratio terms as well as the general risk profile is not nearly as generous with downside stops. Even if you are backed, if you do not keep cash in you account then you cannot trade. Also there does appear to be a large...

    ECB press conference

    What do you think will be said in the conference after the rate decision today? Something along the lines of "no core inflation, oil price inflating some components, no wage inflation, rates appropriate, we're sitting on our hands as for the last 28 months but remain vigilant on price...

    DAX spike

    VW drove it up, the move in the european morning session was driven when rumours went out that the 29% buying of VW by Porsche was being done on the open market - dax took off when that went round. By the time you mention they reported having 20% of it, still had another 9 to go and brokers...

    Number of monitors and profitability

    It' partly an ego thing with scalpers I'm sure but also depends on how many markets you watch. I have 7 screens, 2 for market depth traders (13 markets), bloomberg, reuters, 2 cqg and one for internet but others here have 12. More trading screens and more cqg. If one screen can show you one...
