wtf. Why dont they halt it

No problem. It will be more costly to take liquidity than it will be to provide it. So if you have a resting order in the book and the market gets to your price and you get hit, you are a maker. The person(s) that hit you are the taker(s). The fee structure will be different. This is...

They're only goal at start up should be liquidity. If they don't do what it takes to get that then they'll fail. I'm sure they are aware of this. They may be behind the butchering of the current market, but that's OK with them. I read a report that they were going to initiate a maker vs...

No Doubt. I actually use the price consolidation feature for the 30 yr in MD trader to eliminate some of the noise. It'll be interesting to see how the open interest fares. I sure wouldn't want to manage size in that contract.

It has officially turned into the mini dow:eek:

Probably 99% of the trade is done by bots. They just whip it back and forth. IF the new bond futures exchange ever gets up and running I think they'll have a good chance to make it based on the current CME induced market. And it's being backed by the major players, who are probably helping to...

Couldn't agree more about the YM. Try the ZT (2 year note future) if you want a low volatility futures contract. $7 per quarter tick.

She may be the investors best choice. Traders make money on market movement, up or down. She is also not good for the capital gains tax. If you make a lot of money trading, a Republican is best for you.

Probably so. I like how they waited until he clinched the nomination to do this. :p

Bush is endorsing him today:eek:

She's in the lead? Not according to every news source. Either way, Hillary and Obama will just slit each other's throats while McCain will stand by with that stiff smile and wait for his victory parade.

Has anyone ever seen him give an update after the close?

Put a sock in Charlie's mouth!

wtf. Will they get this fucking thing over with

The 5's and 30's are garbage right now. It's impossible to do any type of spread involving these 2. There are only takers and no makers in this market, which leads to this insane movement. They will need a pro rata or a maker vs taker structure.

Things indeed look ugly with these 1/2 tick 1/4 tick changes. It may be too early to judge (many spreaders are probably being reworked) but a pro rata algorithm may be in the future for the 5's at least. With over 2,000,000 contracts of open interest the bid/ask needs to be greater, otherwise...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yes, let's request that he start a new thread with the correction. :eek:

Ya. It seems like the best excuse for shitty trading. "It wasn't us. It was some goofball we hired that lost the money" I find it almost unfathomable that an institution allows for a so called "rogue" trader to put the company in this position.

It will look like ZN
