yes it does, the judge hasn't ruled on the patent part of the court case yet so it's dynamic to be on the safe side

Sure it's better, but not so good that I'd pay per lot on it and when 700+ traders think the same and the fact that an in house dynamic system saves about a grand sterling a month in license fee to TT each, it's worth the compromise. TT are trying to be like Microsoft but linux/apple equivalent...

probably 7/10 if you are choosy about where/if you put your stops and when, considering what orders are left in the market and so on. Often you'll get a false start with domino stops being triggered in the wrong direction before anyone knows. I've been in one payroll stopped in long 18 tick...

If you want to see how easy it is to clean up on TT check out the md trader demo http://www.tradingtechnologies.com/ apparently scalping is that easy. Refco has stopped using TT and now use a dynamic ladder system. Seeing as refco traders were the biggest users of TT in the world I think TT...

put your two lot market stops in the bund 4 seconds before non farms 3 ticks each side of what's left of a market - you have no position beforehand this will stop you in. You'll have a relatively defined loss and a big upside if it's out of line. Goldman always seem to have the figure so it...

the futures are very liquid, I trade euro dollar and yen dollar on TT on cme. Generally 100-200 at the market each side for five prices (visible) each way. Thins out 5,10,15s before something like trade deficit but good to trade off market stop orders to get you in on these, if you like a little...

it's based on saxo bank software it's RTS trader 1.2, it's the institutional cash market spread of 3 pips or whatever the cash is at the time if you see it and hit it you get it

It's slow if you're trying to do eurex, the local stuff is ok but there are no "big" traders there. I know a london aussie guy who tested it out when he went home. You can email them for info http://www.macfutures.co.uk/html/sydney.htm

Basic rate is 74 euro cents eurex (was 88) for a round trip, do over 5k roundtrips and it drops to 66 and so on down to low fifties I think for best rate. Mac's biggest commission on any exchange is 12p over exchange cost dropping to 9p, 7p, 6p, 5p etc the more round trips done. Dax and...

He places massive size to run the market like 6000 bids and offers in the bund. Sell 100 into his 6000 bid and all of a sudden it's 6000 offered. Buy another 100 into that offer and hey presto back bid 6000. Occasionaly he gets rumbled like last week when the hedge funds came into the bund on...

"the phsychology of trading" by steenbarger, perhaps best to read once you've started trading so you can relate to your trading emotions. I found it very helpful

I'd tend to agree. Last summer the threads on bondtalk.com were saying that Coca-cola, ford and GM were only making profit on the carry trade and currency trading and had no sustainable profit. The thought then was that if rates rose they would be in no uncertain terms screwed. And alas 2/3 so...

If you're not putting up your own money you don't have a leg to stand on. If you've never traded why would the guys taking a risk on you negotiate? There's no way they can tell if you'll be a success and due to the massive numbers of applicants, if you start getting penickity they'll take the...

I heard refco were in talks with eurex over a dubai hub and I think schneiders are setting up a franchise out there
