You were right the first time -- it's 60% LT and 40% ST

Can you please elaborate on your problem (broker, platform, contract month, electronic or floor)?

Moderator, Sincere thanks to you for your consideration and for relocating this thread to the Career Trader forum. Regards,

It seemed like a creative combination of the thread titles "Favorite quote from Thomas Jefferson" and "Hitler’s image on Croatian sugar packets"

You're exactly right, Hydro. I'm an individual trader and also have a computer programming business, but I'm the only person involved in both operations. I wouldn't mind giving a day or two to jury duty, but it's the possibility of getting stuck for a week or more which would make a serious...

To lease an IOM seat it's currently around $950/mo. As a lessee trading equity index futures, it looks like your CME fees would be $0.46 per side ($0.21 clearing / $0.25 Globex) for up to 200 sides per day, and then $0.21 per side for each side in excess of 200 (daily Globex fee cap of $50)...

I've never traded on that exchange, but when I put 700 into TWS it looks like it's correct. I would guess the lack of quotes is because the market's closed. Here's the IB description page for it...

It trades under the code 700 on the Hong Kong stock exchange. You can trade it through IB.

Volume on the April contract is running ahead of March as of today (i.e., I switch when the volume tells me to).
