I agree. But I have called Ib and asked them if anything was working on their end to be safe a few times. No problem with that. But you have to be in front of your screen. I have been dealing with electronic futures platforms since day one and it has always been a nightmare scenario of...

I have not had a globex terminal since 2001. So I do not know the current software layout. But you can see the whole deck---and everything in there. That is the edge of the terminal. Now I do not know if something is going to change or if there has been any changes. It has been a while...

With a Globex terminal you will be able to see everything in the market---more than 10 levels. 5 levels deep is the deal for non globex terminal traders.

John, Is there a reason you usually trade Bonds and not the 10 year?

Thanks FT, I had contacted them before (when the guys first left the London Prop shop Marex (Refco)) and was curious to see if their pricing jumped. It has. They were good at Marex/Refco. My buddy raved about them there. I will do a trial and see. (FT, hope you are smoking em)

what is the cost of ransquawk these days?

So portfolio margining treats everything as a futures contract with a span type margining?? I am going to have to read up on this and switch over. What about Forex trades? Difference in margining?
