    The Chickens Come Home To Roost - Where are they now?

    Besides this Medallion fund you refer to is only his money and that of his employees, so seeing as they have such a squeaky clean record when it comes to ethics, ahem, do you not suppose he put any winning positions across to his own fund whilst leaving outside investors' funds with the bad...

    I've used CQGLan for the last 5 years but trade on TT so no experience with executuion, as far a charting goes it's superb, you get what you pay for. Oh and good customer phone support, nothing annoying like bloomberg who refuse to pick up a phone and type rubbish on messenger

    Bobl 1/2 Tick

    It's a fairly dull market to trade, uninspiring ranges, fairly expensive on costs especially now cbot upped costs for prop firms, doesn't have multi million roundtrip rebates like eurex does for big prop firms, does sweet FA in the european session, has slowish execution for people in London...

    TT outage on Eurex

    TT v6.x has been disconnected since the eurex bond open in London, apparently they're working on a patch - in between doughnut breaks :mad: 6 and a half hours of wasted boredom so far and eurex volumes must be suffering as all the prop houses use v6 seeing as 7 is unstable under pressure
