In the Big spoo it was common place to get a market on thousand lots. That is the equivalent of 5000 eminis at a clip. 1500 minis is nothing for an institution. That is only 300 contracts and they are still complaining. It should be all you can eat.

I dont believe there is a limit for the forex futures. If someone can find a limit for the euro futures on CME's website post it. They have always put protocals on the mini stock indexes to keep the pit alive. I remember when they first came out. It was a 20 lot limit! You could do more...

http://www.theifm.org/ This is the company I was recommended and they seem to be good. I know a broker and this is what he has all the new brokers use to pass the series 3. This is a recent recommendation. Some of the other companies DO NOT apparently keep their stuff up to snuff.

thanks. yeah I am using like 845.something. Out of curiousity, I am a newer customer of Ib and have only done one upgrade via the automatic deal. Do you guys do the auto upgrade or off the website? Just curious and thans for the help

Which TWS are you using?

I just put it in on TWS as 'combo'. Everything went fine but I am getting NO quotes?? I put in Z5- Z6. Margin for this is dirt cheap (or should be). I have never traded these at IB so if you guys relate any experiences --positive or negative or any warnings. Please do.

I dont know if you can get charting etc on this data live from CME. I chart them synthetically. I am used to trading them synthetically as well and legging in! Did not know I could do a 'combo' in IB. Now I will have to figure out how. Can I use Booktrader to trade it?

Well this is good news! So you are saying there will be no shutdown at night?!?!? Make sure you let us know the new rules. I have only been a customer of IB for about 3-1/2 months (been trading 10 years). The forex offering is competitive and getting better all the time. Don't let the...

I read these posts and find it amusing. I grew up immersed in far left ideas (not talking democrats ---FAR LEFT). Marxist boot camp as a boy etc.. One thing that strikes me as amusing (besides my profession as a trader) is how the ideas of far left social doctrine (and propaganda) have...

Steve, I noticed you have up all the Liffe true commodities. I was shocked that they did not give you guys a better deal on those exchange fees for the Liffe commodities. Cocoa and Coffee can move. I was surprised by your screenshot to see that Wheat and Sugar have volume as well.

They are supposed to be like 24 hours. However, at night I have yet to see the market makers. I only work positions during the day on Eurex US. Anything at night got to stick to cme and cbot. Rickshaw, during the day You can get your price. Sometimes, I have to pay up. But for holding...

Ib margins these as spreads? Correct? I cant see anything on Ib's website. They must give the 150 dollar margin.

Anyone trading GEz05/GEz06? You guys that use TWS. Are you using the spread trading function on Zerolinetrader?

Huge difference between the customer rate and the clearing rate. Largest I have seen. The member margin rate looks to be correct the customer is DOUBLE. I have never seen that big of a difference.

Post the link. This product is going to DOA if margin is that jacked. CME you are stupid ---it should be right with span!

I had an order in and canceled it about a minute before it went down. My machine says I was not filled and it was out of Globex by the time the shit hit the fan. It should be interesting to see if I am the proud owner of some Euros. I am having flashbacks of Globex back in the good ole...

Well I got 12 items. I got the cassette player to work and the little man dancing. As well as the CD player. Interesting game. The key is to keep searching around the bed and curtains. I don't have more time to spend on it. I have the key to door but it will not open. I only spent about...

This is a good solution for IB to institute. They should allow so many cancel/modifie orders per day before they charge. CME costs are way to high now for small traders. EurexUS is not bad for traders holding any length of time.

No that is not true. You go under a credit system as a member. The problem with most spoofer's on CME is that they do NOT execute enough volume and there have been TONS of complaints. Another thing is that the CME is worried about competition from Eurex US. Eurex US is putting in anti...

def, Are you guys going to become a member of TOCOM?? Under the new Japanese rules should be easy. It is all electronic now.
