Hotspot is an ECN which has a huge bearing on it's cash position. They do not take the opposite side of anything. They simply connect traders and liquidity providers. Their larger platform is the institutional ecn---which has larger size and tighter markets. You have to have a prime account...

IB is very good. So is hotspot. But for smaller accounts ---Oanda is very good as well. IB double margins for cross rates (it margins each leg). But IdealPro is well put together. It is however for larger players. Smaller players are better off at Oanda (especially if you are holding...

Z06/Z07 is pretty large I would think h06/h07 would be big as well

Interesting you can play anything on the internet over the hoot. I wonder if it works with a handset? That is what everyone will be going to. Imagine the cost savings. HUGE. It is cool that you can hook up any webbroadcast and switch it around. Cool.

I have yet to do an ACH with IB. I am used to the old wires and checks. However, I have ACH with Paypal hooked up to my checkings and it is free and simple as hell. I am assuming this ACH with IB is the same as Paypal's ACH transfers? If so I am going with it. Cheaper than wires and...

we could start our own on GMail's talk! I was thinking the same thing. VOip simplifies the technology in many ways. I think that may scare the Turret people. In realty it could bring alot more competition into the turret business and allow the Turret to run off of any old computer. New...

I don't used stops normally. But I agree with you. The grain markets can handle stops no problem (even on size). I think IB is just trying to get the pits rolled out and then decide once the kinks are out --what needs to be done to make it better. IB is not a company that oversimplifies...

I cannot seem to find the commission schedule for Cbot pits?? I am guess you have not got around to postingit yet. So If I want to buy Corn in the Pit ---I just Put in ZC in TWS(cbot pit) and pull up a ticket and buy it at the market?

If you have direct lines at home ---you need some kind of turret. They are not that big of a deal ---they do their job. I am interested to see how VOIP changes this --hook up a turret to the web ---and then to all the direct lines via the internet. ChicagoBondKing ---since you have the...

U guys could at least pipe through some kind of delayed pit data---so at least the order lines show something. Kinda odd entering an order with no quotes or nothing. Delayed data on commodities is free on the web. I dont think it would eat up to much space for you guys to do. CME delayed is...

not yet ----you first. :D I am starting to move some grain business--But I enter orders at night mostly on Ecbot.

I am getting quotes for both! It appears to be live CME Live cattle and hogs from the pit. It may be slightly delayed---but it is running right with my realtime quotes and is right on top of your CME globex cattle quotes.

Yes, I used to do alot more floor business so I had direct lines and that impressed folks picking hitting a turret and getting a market. In fact, I miss the oohs and ahhs of the peanut gallery. If you do alot of floor business in Chicago --they will run a direct line to you. I know the cost...

Ok I subscribed for 'trading access' for pits not for individual market subscriptions ---I am not paying 55 dollars for cbot ---i already do under another platform. But it is odd that I can get the last quote for Live Cattle at the CME without the data subscription and not for Cbot. But yet...

I'll check ---I that there I checked a subscription for all pit futures. I will double check --thanks

I noticed this. I can get a quote line for the CME pit contracts. But for Cbot ---I can pull up ZC on Ecbot no problem ---but for the pit no quotes at all. odd that they give a quote line for CME pit and not for Cbot but yet you can get electronic quotes for ECbot grains.

yes the new ones can operate off of VOIP etc Those Turrets are old but still useable. Turret technology did not change dramatically until the last few years. My old trading desk had the same turrets for well over a decade. Direct lines are direct lines----but VOIP and the internet...

That is unbelievable deal. Do you have a phone line hooked up to it? or direct lines? Have you bought any attachments ---if not you can buy accessories and attachments on the web.

Well for scalping the EUR/USD or majors --IdealPro is very competitive and cost effective. With the half pips and all. With that said ---they have some work to do. It seems like they adapted a currency switching interbank program (Ideal) into a forex trading platform. Which is fine --but the...

Marex offers Forex supposedly. Does anyone know what forex they offer (besides CME)? Maybe Hotspot on TT?
