    response to Mr B: i'm biting my tongue here...because i know a couple of guys who wrote negative things on this website and had letters from ghco solicitors on their doormats a couple of days later threatening to sue if an apology wasn't forthcoming. in response to a couple of your...

    ghco...yes or no?

    if you're successful you won't want to be there...why stay on 30-40% when you could be on industry standard 80% at so many other places.

    euro traders/ World Cup (fifa)

    most midweek games are evening kick offs...i.e. 8pm bst. for that reason i wouldn't expect much change. 4 yrs ago when the tournament was held in japan and korea we had three games a day starting at 9am, then 11am, then 1pm. eurex futures markets seriously ground to a halt between those...

    EUREX HUB in Miami anyone?

    I hate winter. Unfortunately as a chicago-based eurex trader i can not trade in a warm weather spot during winter without sacrificing highly valued connection speed. Since there is a hub in Helsinki (for christs sake, how much volume can possibly pass through there???) amongst other...
