on the floor where you had to add things up, or where there were so many orders and people were manually filling them yes, maybe, but on computers these days normally a lot of trades are automatically hit with electronic eyes rather than people clicking the mouse. Reality is that MM are...

my sincere apologies to zdreg. It was meant to be directed to Crayon who asked the original question.

Relatively new version of TWS Dec 2013 build, I have checked and unplugged the internet etc. Run through the normal fixes, but thought I had best check with others. It is likely to be a glitch with the router or the ISP - I hope it only lasts a day as its f...n annoying - as I said, this has...

I am having real problems with TWS data feeds today - the system keeps freezing and reloading, playing catchup. Its plain to see as I have about 10 Fx, and futures tickers up and they all stop moving. The clock on the TWS is still ticking along. I have never had this before and its not been...

been a while since I used to be a MM and systems have changed, plus I was equities, but if there is enough margin for a MM they will usually hit it and just incorporate it into their books. A friend still doing it in futures told me its all vol skews and based purely on vol % and how much...

more like 'ruffled feathers' Monday. Watch out for Turkey Thursday.

Instructions from wife - find a cleaning lady first random thought - anyone know a cleaning lady from the daily hottie thread?

FWIW I eat what ever carbs, fat, olive oils, cheese, bread, beer and wine etc; that comes my way, never really ever needing to restrict food intake. The one thing that struck a chord and works for me recently - cut out sugar and a lot of fructose. (I read some book while staying at a friends...

close them all out together as one strategy if possible or package them as such..... reason being - you will not be left with things you dont want, and the combined strategy might have enough theoretical margin for a MM to take the opposite side in one hit, as opposed to legging it on and...

If I was 21 again and not knowing what I now know. --- I would probably do the same again, as I have no real regrets If I was 21 again and know what I now know. ---- I would probably do the same things I am doing today as whats the difference? Why do I need to be 21 again to implement...

Best check with IB - they certainly do have data reporting issues, however I also use IB, and never seen such slippage - I dont generally leave orders like that for Sunday. I just looked at the TWS prices for USDJPY - seems your fill was off as there shoul dbe no 3rd party data interference...

Also something to keep in mind is that a lot of miners have different hedging strategies and some dont hedge at all. In recent years there was a move away from hedging mainly as the miners worked out they lost more money with complicated hedges set up by investment banks - as mentioned above...

the cows will need counselling after that one.

Recognise there are lots of issues when dealing with FX regards accurate data reporting based on last 'registered' prices as eveything is OTC and you will get issues like this whereby trades are not accurately reported in the data....eg; they might be amalgamating other data for the charts not...

did the money come rolling in during 2008, or after? Money coming in diluting losses, and rolling, when and if you wanted with larger amounts, ie; selling traders 2 further OTM, and buying 1 less OTM might have had some favourable prices, particularly if you are active, slightly savvy and the...

I have never used this but try http://www.autohotkey.com/

would imagine the key is not interpreting the govt released data but the reaction the market will take....then the opportunities from a long vol perspective is to target those times you think a move would be significant enough based on unexpected data. Obviously contingent on the implied not...

One of the reasons I gave up on the game years ago - you could see the writing on the wall. I did have friends doing it - though 2008 helped some retire. Even the costs of being a simple individual MM are up, and whereas individuals used to be able to compete, the costs of technology have...

maybe have a look at Reuters Xenith. they have a retail version if you are not a professional. Data is delayed but you can also buy extra live data. I dont know how good it is regards options but i have been wanting to trial it myself. As other have said, some things might be replicated...
