He's going back to the monkey bars

DAV - Thank you for addressing this, I've noticed a significant improvement in ES fills now that queue position is preserved. Can you confirm if this has been rolled out for all US futures exchanges, i.e. NYBOT, NYMEX, ECBOT, etc...

Posted two months ago and now he's sweeping the book for 200, this kid is going places!

Does anyone have a good free source for charting the ICE exchange spread, or a bulletin on the ICE site that gives you end of day OHLC? Is there an esignal symbol you can type into the futuresource site? The synthetic charts on TWS are horrible.

Anything south of 3400 was busted. ICE has a horrible policy of playing Monday morning quarterback on spikes, you can get jerked around on a winning trade through no fault of your own.

It's a 5-minute halt, not a hard limit and GLOBEX accepts day orders outside of it. You have to be careful with fishing expeditions on ICE, they have a reputation for busting trades - I don't recall if anything was busted when the drunk guy out of London ran Brent up five bucks in the...

Correlated but definitely not fungible, you're trading physical against financial.

Anyone know why April Brent/WTI imploded on Libya today when just two weeks ago it was widening on Egyptian tensions? Also a wild move in the WTI J/K calendar.

IBsoft - thank you for the prompt response, please make sure this applies to all the exchanges under the Globex umbrella (ECBOT, NYMEX, etc...). This is a win/win for both customers and your back end as it should decrease message load considerably. PS - Guys, I didn't intend for this to...

Can someone from IB please comment on this: With regard to futures trading, it has come to my attention that IB makes a practice of resubmitting already working orders to the exchange without your consent to modify a FIX tag (#77) that denotes whether you are opening/closing position...

Still climbing! What's interesting is there really is little in the way of consumer relief based on depressed WTI because the refined cracks have been blowing out too.

Lot of talk about specs and long-only commodity funds moving from WTI to Brent as a result of pending regulatory changes, position limits, etc... What are the domestic (US) implications if this spread blows out to $20? Better for consumers to have the specs run up Brent while WTI languishes...

1) People have no idea what health care costs, I read a piece on CNN last year where small business owners were asked what a fair monthly premium was for all inclusive care, the woman said $50. 2) Insurance companies have some of the thinnest margins among business models, if there are...

ZH has the street cred of the National Enquirer. There was no block, the book was not swept, and 82,000 traded in those 6 minutes which means dollar volume wise there is no way one party was responsible for anywhere near $6 billion notional.

Any news? Spread came in 50 ticks around 8pm eastern.

We agree on something, Justin is adorable. How can I possibly resist stalking someone who wears Justin Beiber pajamas? I'm wearing the matching set of panties btw.

Pardon bro, this was not intended as an insult. I don't give a shit if you're flipping 100mm OPM or $50,000 in your pajamas, neither does the market. Hope your trade works out.

Confucius say when retail traders are trying to capture 7 hours of thetas because the market is dead, the raft is getting close to the waterfall.

Pro-rata allocations are like the plague. Exchanges use them under the misguided assumption that DPM's will provide liquidity but it's bullshit for the retail trader. Whatever you save on slippage from having a tighter market is pissed away in opportunity cost when you miss out on fills...

Can you elaborate? I'm running a quad-core 64-bit Win7, so I'm eager to upgrade this weekend to take advantage of the extra performance.
