Hmmmm. Looks more like a camel to me. I guess camels trudge along so this is a continuation pattern? Then again, camels thrive in the dry desert...is the market liquidity gonna dry up?

You're on a simulated gateway. We have TTSIM as well and it works great, but it is a simulated, not real production level gateway. Also, what data source are you using for those charts? tt has their own charts using the same datafeed you trade through. the screenshot attached is cl in...

I'm legging into a short of GEZ0-GEZ1...trying to leg a short a 77.5 with stop at 78.5 / profit at 73.5

2-3 ticks wide and interest has grown over the week. the order book depth has improved. I have md traders of 6e and m6e side by side and the m6e spread is rarely more than one tick wider than 6e.

Someone got an arb off. A 10 lot sell went through m6e at 10:27:50. I didn't have t&s up for 6e, but i bet a one lot buy off set that

CME hasn't updated that site. Mini FX launched today.

The arbs and spreaders gotta get involved and I'm sure they will. I've got teh 6e / m6e setup in autospreader but haven't placed a trade yet

While it wouldn't directly apply to futures, it could add to futures liquidity as a hedging instrument.

Spreads widened while the shorting ban was in effect. It's taken some time for the markets to normalize from that shock.

electronic options on futures have ample liquidity depending on the product group. ES & GE have good volume. I've traded these options electronically for years.

I've run into that as well. Not sure what's going on so I'm keeping all of my bookmarks on a google toolbar. Nice thing is, they transfer so whatever PC im on, if I login to google, I have my bookmarks.

here's what options on tt look like:

I've traded options on TT for along time. If your looking for pure execution they have what you need. I'm on their new release, xtrader 7.6 and they've added some some good options stuff...i'm still checking it all out but i'm liking the progress.

Open interest is big. The strike with the highest OI is where the market is pointing. To a degree, this isn't a zero sum game. Buyers of options expect the market to get through that strike. Sellers are often 'hedged' like market makers who sell the option vs. buying the underlying stock.

Options spreads / strategies are electronic and you can see them on tt

RecTec runs an arbitrage based on earnings estimates and earnings actuals. It's highly quantified. LTCM ran a reversion to the mean strategy based on interest rates. These are two entirely different strategies and should not be lumped together. RenTec makes a huge amount of small trades...

I think options, and options of futures in particular, are going to gain momentum as a trading product in 2009. It amazes me that options on futures for many major products actually fell in 2008. Market participants perhaps are not educated enough on options but the limited risk (premium paid)...

This can really depend on your trading style and what type of charts you require. The data feed is by far the most relevant input for anyone who is trading intra-day..scalping, swing trading, whatever. I think speed a reliability of your data source (gateway) is the first thing to consider.
