Whatever happened to economies of scale and cost efficiencies of mergers, this is supply/demand gone skew-whiff :confused:

All I know is that tnote has gone from being 54c a side all in at best rate my prop firm offers to 8c a side more and whereas I was paying $2 a roundtrip all in in the ags I'll now be paying $2.70. The 62c a side in YM has gone up to 72c a side :mad: cbot gold is still seems a bargain 22c a...

Whilst we're on the topic of market data where can I get a quote, daily, or better intraday, for the Malaysian Palm oil futures, barchart.com list it but there's no data there, Thanks.

Perhaps not, but still interesting, a very well known US investment bank also agree with the european one, as of beginning of the May the dec 07 outright long is where they'd put their money in corn, and july 08 soybean (along with other calender spread recs), think 3.64 and 8.35 were the...

None if there weren't any, just trying to understand the beast and getting an idea of how it behaves, I'm up with all the reporting schedules and so on but was wondering if I'd missed something obvious or as you say was just a move up. cbot do 3 updates a day on the market which is helpful too...

Were there any particular reasons for that drive up in the corn yesterday, the soybeans got lifted strongly in that first hour of the pit open with barely a pause. I thought with the palm oil off 1.5% again they might drift lower but it was following the corn hand in hand :confused: The cbot...

All helpful info thanks. Do you know when the USDA 2006/2007 "marketing year" starts and ends? thanks

The lay of the land for the London arcades opening in dubai is basically they are looking for about 30 pro futures prop traders to commit to the initial office set up costs, somewhere in the region of £450k total in return for equal equity stakes in the new company with the view that as the...

Just had it confirmed by eurex that the new Dubai hub is up and running now, I hope cbot follow soon

That's what you call constructive criticism - they uprgraded the fill mechanism and the bandwidth of eurex feeds after loads of people raised it directly with eurex. You'll have experienced slowdown free trading for a considerable period of time since those comments were written last year, until...

My view exactly, especially to those not in an arcade, why waste cash on such a dire service? Put the money towards your own bloomers and reuters terminals instead if you're without and avoid the irritation in the background. If your concentrating on a position it's nice to have someone pick up...

I know 3 other "amusement arcades" :D that did and the cqg feed went down the swany for a bit too. Still on the bright side it's been a good run without slowdown, used to be par for the course

First slowdown in a while over ISM, eurex said they had a "data backlog" Too many damn machines trying to do too many trades I reckon - cbot seems to handle it ok :confused:

They were useless at refco, missed loads of news and then thought the sun shone out of their backside if you phoned up to inform them of their mistake they took huge offence over it. The analyst desk improved massively once they'd left People who trade at other props in London who signed up...
