    no worries ng I have little if any respect for the futures arcade model. I find that the higher up you go in each of those companies the less actual trading ability there is. they are for all practical purposes the bucket shops of the new century.

    Carbon Emissions

    Its traded on the ICE platform. This is not a market you flip in. Firms hold these credits for years, especialy the rarer vintages. The guys at the CCX make it sound like its al liquid as mini s+ps when they may do at max 15 trades per day.
