I take your point.

WOW, that is shocking. They'd make some money if they were so stringent on the bigger guys. But, then they'd lose their custom. I was expecting someting like 100:1. This is not what those rules were intended for i.e. a nervous 2 lot retail trader. Make sure that the fine is passed...

Are you point and click trading, cancelling orders or are you autospreading? If you're trading with say a 5 lot but entering it in a series of 1's, this counts as 5 seperate messages. As bone said, if you're working a spreader way out of the market, there's no point in having it...

Hah, they blatantly say here they want to help the larger market making firms and bum the smaller, autospreader guys. This is why this thread was started. That's gas. Will do little for market integrity. The market makers will still pull the majority of their orders when figures come out or...

I'm not in London.

Direct.

I scalp and I spread. European and US exchanges. Multiple products. Jack of all trades, King of None. I sleep at night unless I've a Erueka moment. The market is like a bull in a china shop at the moment. Have you heard of Trade2win? You will find more European traders over there...

Ok, I've got you.

I'm not implying they have failed as a trader, but that they failed to adapt to the conditions. Saying I'm a 1/2/300 lot trader looking for 20 ticks and that's it has a short shelf life. What will they do if the volume dries up in their next product? You're example suggests these guys...

MRE is on the mark here.

It's funny, I've been following posts/threads with respect to spread trading for a while on this forum and Bone has been one of the most consistent/knowledgeable posters on the forum across a wide variety of products. Sure, he talks his book (and has a poorly designed website), but he is...

Milling Wheat will move hard off the numbers as they're released. Will probably go quiet then until CBOT open. You will get your hedge on if you're mad enough to hold into that data release. Make sure an do your FX and tick size.

Funny, I was talking to a fellow trader with 10+ years experience and he was of the opinion that CL contract may become obsolete.

Strongest storm ever recorded in the Midwest smashes all-time pressure records http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1674 Is this what's affecting Corn and Soybeans? @Local - Always appreciate the insight you provide on the Ag spreads. Cheers, Ixus

Corn +20% Rough Rice +10% Soybeans +10% Wheat hit +8% Cotton +10% Sugar +20% That's in Sept, now if you went back to June/July (and added Coffee to that)..... If you were holding a long position in ANYTHING it's not hard to have made money in Sept and now Oct with the Dollar...
