    Trading in Dubai

A lot of the traders at Marex had a third layer using a pole extension as you can see in the pic of my old london desk. The guy behind me there had 12 using those stands. Again...

    There's only 10 traders full time at the moment as the report says (http://www.ameinfo.com/164393.html), the volume is distorted by a few. stoxx, bund, bobl, schatz and oil are where the big volumes are being done.

    Newedge, but Fortis and I think Marex would clear you or MAN. There's plenty of succesful big ICE spreaders out here who trade through webice, which is free, from home.
