banana, please dont post here if you dont know what you are talking about. i've traded on eurex in chicago, london and paris and also remotely 1000 miles away from a hub. there was no difference in speed between chicago, london and paris which coincidentally all have hubs and if im not...

yeah i traded in london for awhile and heard all about gibraltar. bottom line is miami is 10X better than gibbie in every way except for the tax breaks.

i have no idea but i think it costs less than half a mil to build one which is a drop in the bucket for eurex. they have to see there is demand to build one in miami for them to spend it though. i think it can be done but please, only serious posters on this thread. im trying to...

i assure you it does make a difference banana. orders are timestamped at these hubs thus determining priority and then routed to frankfurt. for scalpers such as myself, even a 30ms delay has an effect. other types of traders prolly wouldnt notice much. nevertheless, every trader should want...

the days i wake up thinking "wow, how much money am i going to make today?" are the days i end up losing money. usually i wake up knowing i have a hard job to do and wanting to do it well. i dont feel cocky about being one of the few who make it in the biz but am satisfied that i have made it.

i believe they have guys in most of the pits at the cboe. i know 1 guy who worked for them and was trained by them and he is a good trader. unfortunately they screwed him on the dreaded discretionary bonus one year so he no longer works there.

anyone??? do people like winter or something?

I hate winter. Unfortunately as a chicago-based eurex trader i can not trade in a warm weather spot during winter without sacrificing highly valued connection speed. Since there is a hub in Helsinki (for christs sake, how much volume can possibly pass through there???) amongst other...

are you serioues about putting up 50g's of your own money??? unless you are rich this seems like flushing money down the toilet. my advice is find a place where you dont have to put up any cash and cut your teeth there. if you become profitable, quit and then put up your own cash and reap...

when i first started i had a loss limit. if i reached it the day was over. simple rule is you should never lose more than you can make in a day. sounds like original poster has problems taking losers. this is one of the biggest pitfalls of all failed traders. get over it and accept making...

oldstyle, well after 6 months there were only 3 out of 25 left...general rule of thumb is only 10% of traders make it in the biz so your firm's results are essentially the norm. attitude plays a huge role in being successful in this game and its easy to see why so many people on this...

you can do far better? how? by getting a job at goldman? by setting up your own account at an arcade? hedge fund? to villify all prop shops as merely commish seeking brokerages is wrong. there are many good ones out there...

its rediculous to say they are only there for commissions. the amount they make off new traders in commish is miniscule and often negated by the fact that most traders lose money. think about it...the real money is in producing a quality trader who makes bank.

instead of trying to trade the spoos why not just trade the ER2 off the spoos?

call your broker and ask him what they do with the order... as for book depth, i'd guess if you enter orders 10-20 ticks off market overnight you will be in first 200 for estoxx
