    Macfutures rumours

    To my understanding the GHCO settlement was 5c a side only for non-TT software that infringed. I.e. - a license on md trader. (and 10c the second year) TT software priced as normal

    TT sues Refco for patent infringement

    I'm a complainer by nature so i'm sure i'd groan. But I think it would be a lot like paying taxes. I don't like paying taxes but i'm a fan of driving on roads and public education so sometimes you take the good with the bad. The patent system is like that. I sort of thought SCOs suit was a...

    TT sues Refco for patent infringement

    This exactly makes my point about competition. The proper response for other screen companies when faced with patent protection is to innovate around it and find a better way. And i think Cutten is right that one of the drawbacks of the price-ladder style is when prices run off the screen...

    TT sues Refco for patent infringement

    You must be a hell of trader to be able to drop your ego that quickly and write that. I'm impressed, sincerely. You and i have something in common. We both started on RTS. For me it was in the 1998 timeframe. RTS had been in business for some time and there had been electronic trading for...

    TT sues Refco for patent infringement

    It always cracks me up when people talk about the CFTC stepping in. What exactly is the anitcompetitive practice??? Do you actually believe that or did you just read it somewhere else and parrot it back? Are you against patents altogether? That must be true because otherwise what you're saying...

    Are you for real? Personally I've never once seen FuturesTrader71 say anything that didn't pretty exactly line up with my personal experience. He's one of the few people on here that I know for sure trades profitably just by the information he shares. so when he speaks about things I don't...

    here's the PDF of the judge's decision so you can read the language directly from the judge's mouth. The way I read it the patent doesn't seem likely to be overturned. If someone else reads it differently i'd be interested to hear...

    TT vs ESpeed injunction denied - Judge says TT patent valid

    Actually in fact it was developed by someone that was trading so much size that he had to find a better way to manage all his orders so in fact many many millions of dollars were used in developing it. It is my guess that because very few people had been in the position to have to trade this...

    TT vs ESpeed injunction denied - Judge says TT patent valid

    It seems like you have a common misperception of the patent. The patent is not on the way the order book is displayed. It is on the way that you can enter orders relative to a *static* price axis. So when you go to click on a price you get the one you expected. Also, you are able to observe the...

    TT vs ESpeed injunction denied - Judge says TT patent valid

    I think the reason is mentioned obliquely, not enough proof of "irreparable harm" for the injunction. But I know what you're saying , the entire text of my post was straight from lothian. I'm working to get more hard information on the ruling itself. My understanding is that getting...
