So how fast can a human being enter and cancel an order? I would be surprised if its any/much quicker than 1/2 second so unless someone can prove otherwise, I think that 1/2 second commitment could be effective.

I agree with your sentiments Beaker but don't share your optimism. It strikes me that the exchanges will react to the drop in volumes by spending billions on technology and tens/hundreds of millions on management consultants that will be asking the likes of RSJ what the exchange needs to do to...

Have you got nothing else to say? I am tired of hearing about your loser friends. You have to be the most boring poster on this website.

Broker -what's a good price then? I take it that you haven't signed the Giddens letter if you are planning on selling your claims? I would be interested to hear whether many people have signed the letter or are not going to. There was an article last week from Matt Taibbi. Might be worth...

Moneyrules -welcome to the industry. It is all too apparent that you haven't been around for long. Fresh out of school maybe? You've got a lot of things to say -practically everyone of them is wrong. Your first post was nonsense, but let's start with something simple. Did the cme really not...

Is volume up? I hadn't noticed. In the derivatives markets treasuries have been depressed for years and more recently volume in the stocks has been significantly lower. I don't claim to know what is going on in every market everywhere so I'm interested to know which markets volume is up in.

Wouldn't surprise me if RSJ weren't involved in the production of aluminium too. We can't rule that out can we? So where does that leave me in my smart new hat and how am I possibly supposed to be able to think for myself?

So what's this "amuminium" then? I'm a keen follower of fashion and would love to get a new hat. So please tell...

That sounds just like a campaign slogan from Call Me Dave in the UK. "We are all in this together" so fuck off and ask me the next question. (OK so the second part of the sentence was not a direct quote.) The fact is that many of the culprits have not suffered and they need to have their...

I almost signed the form without reading it but thanks to aquarian1's post I did what I should have done in the first place and took the trouble to read it. Why I default to this idea that the law and the likes of Giddens is there to protect me, God knows why... I have kept my reading on MFG...

In my opinion you are way off the mark with that comment. Correct me if I'm wrong but did any single specialist firm dominate the total volume in the way that RSJ does? & just out of interest -is your perspective based purely on screen trading or did you spend any substantial time on the floor?

I was just looking through the new "Inside Advantage' and learned that Risk Magazine has chosen Liffe as the exchange of the year 2011. It's all about 'competition, innovation and transparency' apparently. Hats off to RSJ and LIFFE. I assume that you will all adjust your opinions accordingly...

I was talking to a guy who runs a major FCM a few weeks ago. He told me that me that currently he was finding no difference in the success rates between the automated/ algo traders and the old school point and click traders. The only difference I can see is that the costs of funding an algo are...

Being able to participate in Block Trades has always struck me as a license to print money potentially. I can understand the logic behind them but it strikes me that they are about as just and equitable a system as something like flash trading. Surely the algos and HFTs have made the markets so...

What I don't understand is why they have left many of the crooks in place and now they have had months to cover their tracks. Every day the crooks go back into the MFG office they get yet another chance to delete files and shred paper.

Tuesday. New day same problem. Doesn't anyone else get up early? I guess they have it fixed while you are all eating breakfast...

My CTS charts are not showing yesterdays data in the eurex and cbot markets. Absolutely nothing to see in the barcharts and the market profile. I called the helpdesk and they said call back in a few hours when someone will actually be in the office. So, I've got nothing to go on. Anyone else...

I only trade it when I'm drunk. Hope that helps.

wow! Can't even download and read the broker's manual. Can't decipher the cryptic code. Is anyone making a book on this kid being a successful trader?
