Perhaps eSignal can comment on these late quotes. As I said previously, there IS almost always an associated volume figure (as reported by eSignal), which makes it look even more like a genuine "late trade". Bottom line: If you are a systems trader, these "phantom trades" can distort your...

The odd late quotes (I am guessing) represent the settlement price rather than the last trade. Still doesn't explain why there would be a volume attached to it. I saw a couple posts suggesting that the electronic contract is synced with the closing price of the pit traded contract at the end...

Can anyone explain to me why there appear to be trades taking place when the market is supposedly closed? Almost every day I see (via eSignal data) an ES trade at 3:21pm CT, for example, and usually away from the closing market price by at least several ticks, sometimes more, when the market...

This has happened TOO many times during fast markets, with no IB remedy. If it happens again, I'm gone to Trade Station. Case closed. saxon

Gone to electronic markets, like GLOBEX, etc. More advantages than disadvantages, IMO. Times have changed, Richard. saxon

When I was a new trader at the NYFE back in the 80's, a veteran there told me about a new trader he had observed at the COMEX. First day on the floor, the kid steps into the silver pit to make his first trade. He buys 5 contracts. About 10 mins. later the news broke that the Hunt brothers...

mytwocents, If you live in Chicago, you are more than welcome to join us at the Friday gatherings. River's @ 5:00pm, or there abouts. saxon

Hey Galt, what ever happened to Susan (Sioux)? You should bring her along some week. I'll vouch for your character. :) saxon

In case anybody who happens along thinks that this thread is a debate about sexual orientation (how could they get THAT idea?)...IT'S ALL JUST A JEST! I'm sure you could find a REAL debate on that subject in Chit-Chat. saxon

Here's the way I heard it: 1. Galt. Talking about "tops" and "bottoms" nonstop. Nothing to do with the stock market, though. (Galt says he is a bottom...but "willing to explore"). YIKES!! 2. Backwardation. Trying desperately all night to keep Glat's hand off his thigh. 3. resinate...

Ya know, I'm feeling really beat actually. Been doing this tedious work for so many hours over the last week especially, I think I'll just lay low tonight. Catch up with you guys next week, saxon

Finally completed the huge system testing project I've been working on most of this month. Come Monday morning, I'll be firing on all ten cylinders (contracts). So for the weekend, I can enjoy at least the illusion of a solid system in hand...and the reality of a nice cold brew! :) See...

For anyone coming this Friday: The Sox hat didn't work too well for a landmark, so if you don't know anybody in the group, look for me to be sitting at a table near the side entrance of Rivers (not the dining room entrance), in the bar area. To recognize me: I'm a stunningly handsome...

From this past week in the presidential campaigns, here are two disheartening sound bites: (These are paraphrases, not exact quotes). George Bush At his recent press conference, when asked whether the results achieved in Iraq had been worth the loss of 600 young Americans' lives, and...

I just ordered some data from Disk Trading. If it turns out to be good quality (as you guys indicate) then they have to be the best value around for historical data. saxon

Keep lots of carbon paper around. I think that's what used to give brokerage offices and trading floors their distinctive "smell" (like a combination of ink and whiteout). But there may be other explanations... :) saxon

Yeah. The Yankees...??? What was I thinking!

and the clock says 5:00pm... then it must be MILLER TIME !! Win, lose, or draw, that means it's time to turn off those screens for the week and head to RIVERS for a cold one with friends! Hope to see you there, saxon PS. To find the group: I can't find my Yankees cap, so look for...

With the up-front understanding that I am speaking as only one member of the group, I thought it might be timely to add the following comment to this thread: As you all know, the organization of this group has been very open and public on the ET board. That makes it easy for someone who...
