Anyone here actually took physical delivery on a gold contract? I am under the impression most retail brokers dont allow that. How does that work in practice? Just dont roll the contract, pay the respective amount through the broker and get the bars at some NY warehouse?

This contract is rather illiquid (< 10 contracts on the best bid/offer) and 3-4 points spread constantly. USFE just isn't able to find good/enough marketmakers - just like in their FX contracts. A mini-DAX is a good idea in my opinion and could attract some audience, but under these conditions...

Neoticker can replay by tick including bid and ask updates, but not the associated size (nor L2 of course). What software could do that? Wonder where to get data for this too (sounds expensive).

This appears to be software aimed at retail marketmakers to manage their risk and offset positions to banking partners rather than a broker.

The determining factor of the spot - future spread is not necessarily the respective rate differentials of the centralbanks rates but what is acutally achievable in the interbank swap/moneymarket. As you might have noticed, these two things are not really similar as of late. Its...

I dont know if that has been posted in here, but it has to be one of the most embarrassing interviews a VP nominee ever did. Palin explains the TARP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8__aXxXPVc

There are some in Europe, for example ABN Amro or Saxobank. Minimum bank insurance in the EU is EUR 20K if i remember correctly, many provide more than this minimum. Most UK FX shops are members of the 'Financial Services Compensation Scheme' (Hotspot EU division i.e.) - but you got to read...

Whats the roll-rates for aud/usd spot at TOS at the moment?

What are you trying to archive? For an outright spot <-> futures arb you don't have the executional edge that you would need (you wouldnt ask if you had). If you are trying to profit from a spot dealer that offers better than market rolls (some are), you can try, but with these volantile...

On MB Trading there are 9 ticks all over the place up to 1.0641 - it only lasted for 3 seconds. Hotspot had a high of 0622. Apparently a mispricing/error from a bank - and trades on these prices should be reversed.

Dec EuroFX trades 1-2 pips above spot today (on monday it was ~55 pips), implying a nearly flat o/n interest rate differential. I guess Oanda and the likes who still pay positive rolls for long eur/usd are loosing money on this. Not worth trading it in my opinion tho.

It would appear the market doesn't share all the enthusiasm. IBKR closed beneath 20 today for the first time since its listing. Maybe it needs more ads..

Libor-Rates out of whack? The forwardpoints are a function of the Libor-rates differential and the time to delivery.

Here is the article: http://www.euromoneyfix.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=2009629 Spreads are looking abysmal too.

Euromoney posts rumors that CME is pulling out of this one. Nice try tho..

If Bear, FNM and FRE is anything to go by, a single digit stock price would imply game over..

They are pretty competitive with FX Spot as well - starting from $18/mio. USD down to $13, volume-tiered. They offer HotspotFXi either via XTrader/TT or normal Hotspot frontend.
