    ES low 1358 ?????

    Yes, the bust needs to be in effect BUT the exchange should have spit the initial fat finger order out. They need a rule that will disallow a market order that clears more than a specified numer of price levels, if it exceeds the level then the exchange should reject it.

    ES low 1358 ?????

    This is BS for anyone who got long below the bust range and covered just above it. The moron who made the error needs to buck up. I can't believe GLOBEX doesn't have a safeguard in place for these obvious fat fingers, like: You should't be able to clear the book for 30 handles.

    Tick size reduction for 5- and 30-Year U.S. Treasury contracts

    It depends how you trade. For some it won't matter but it will have a great impact on the market. In order to have a half tick and quarter tick market you will need half tick and quarter tick scalping algos/traders in order to make the market. Otherwise you will have some full tick (30)...

    Tick size reduction for 5- and 30-Year U.S. Treasury contracts

    Tick size reduction for 5- and 30-Year U.S. Treasury contracts

    More revuene without increasing rates is the goal. I know, It's crazy. It's like going to Mcdonalds and ordering a hamburger and they hand you a half of one. You say "Hey where's the rest of my Burger. They say "Sorry Sir, but we now serve half burgers for the same price as the former full...

    Tick size reduction for 5- and 30-Year U.S. Treasury contracts

    I think the CME is nuts to even consider this change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The treasuries have been the CBOT's cash cow for years and now they risk butchering them in the face of new competition? This must have been music to the new exchange's ears. It will be next to...
