That's cool, just wanted you to know the info was available. It's very true about games being played. It sounds like your strategy is longer-term and doesn't have much use for that info anyway. By the way, I really appreciate how you explain your rationale and thought process. Best wishes on...

Hi NoDoji, I've been following your posts for awhile. I trade futures but like reading about your experiences in stocks too. That DOM from IB appears to be showing just the current bid and ask. I think you're supposed to see 10 levels, 5 up (offers) and 5 down (bids). You might want to check...

Yeah, and there will probably at least be some arb between the CME and ELX markets keeping the prices in line.

The new ELX Futures exchange is supposed to be launching July 10th. www.marketwire.com/mw/search.do?params=&grpSearch=C&companyid=60377 www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1156724424&play=1 "ELX Futures, L.P. offers electronic trading in US Treasury Interest Rate futures products including the 2...

Nice desk, where can I get one like that? Is that a server cabinet on the left?

This is the real problem :mad:

Good. It also might help to think of it as a fraction and just put /32nds at the end. Think of 122'280 like 122 and 28/32nds. 122'285 would be 122 and 28.5/32nds. 122'290 would be 122 and 29/32nds. So when we have 122'315 its easy to understand that 122 and 31.5/32nds the next trade up is...

A full point, between 123.000 to 124.000, is divided by 32 full ticks or 64 half ticks. From 122.315 to 123.000 is only half a tick, no diffferent than 123.000 to 123.005. The price ladder looks like this: 123.005 123.000 122.315 122.310 (So no there is not a missing 68 ticks there)...

30yr and 10yr move in increments of 1/64. Although it used to be 1/32 so that is still considered full ticks and 1/64 movement would be considered a half tick, which is the minimum change. If you take a look at a price ladder or chart you should be able to pick this up but it looks like this...

Financials should be after March 29th.

You can't just assume they had worked at AIG, even if they were an asshole and living it up. For those who don't know, AIG has their logo on Manchester United jerseys in a four-year sponsorship deal made in 2006. Considering that Man U is one of the most popular soccer teams in the world it's...

If you're using the built in buttons on the laptop you might try getting a regular external USB optical mouse. I find that's much easier to use than the buttons on a laptop, especially when trading.

Hotcomm is okay, but omNovia has less lag and better sound quality.

That would be nice. Although I'd prefer an HD channel something is better than nothing. I'm glad they're going to finish creating the season. Hopefully it's a good one.

ZB is for "bond" futures but ZN is for "note" futures sorry if you know, just wanted to point that out :D

Would they also penalize non-Wall Street speculators and investors? The ones on Main Street that did not cause or profit from this crisis and are also U.S. taxpayers? BTW, here is how this mess really happened... This American Life #355: The Giant Pool of Money...

The Cumulative Ask Volume (AVol) according to my TT Volume Histogram shows 5252 right at 2:52 PM eastern. Weird coincidence?

Yes. (Just note the comments about it being down yesterday and this morning though. Technology is great until it stops working.)

If you're not doing much trading it's probably not a bad way to start. Their support has always been good to me but occasional issues with X Study charting is a pain. Maybe okay for a backup account in the long run. Compare with several other firms offering X Trader that are better capitalized...
