True, and not all monopolies are illegal. Certainly not a cut and dry discussion. In many cases, these exchange fees have been in place for quite a while, but brokers were hiding those fees as long as you maintained a certain amount of trading activity. I have certainly witnessed a steady...

Liquidity attracts liquidity. This is the ICE's (and others) natural monopoly.

Not sure what you mean by the "correct" globex close since most data providers are set up to report the "settle" per the exchange standards. Calling the data "incorrect" is misleading and inaccurate. Additionally, speaking for XENITH (Realtime data) you can certainly change the data field to...

ECC is for server stability and reliably so in theory it could help prevent some memory fault crash. It would be extremely unlikely that you would ever put the PC under that much stress, unless perhaps you're looking at setting up some massive automated trading operation where you might be...
