Maybe I'm missing something here - but how could you ever hedge an exposure that you can not define? You are either long or short or flat. What type of hedge could ever "offset" all of those possible positions?

It absolutely DOES NOT exist because of your first requirement.

What sort of technical problem would allow GLOBEX to re-open trading everything - except ES? WTF?

$DXC - US Dollar Index, Cash (on Esignal - from the CME) What does this represent? Anyone have any links to info describing this?

Suprised no one has asked this yet... If you have a working/winning system, wouldn't you make more money trading the system yourself vs. selling a newsletter?

Must not be a real serious problem for you, eh? 3 years you've been putting up with this problem? LOL. You do realize there are other brokers out there, no?

In TWS: Click configure - then API

Excel can double a number? Wow. Must take 100's of lines of code to get it to do that! :D

If those two look "very similar" to you, maybe you'd better look again, eh?

Why would the number of SSF contracts be adjusted? The only thing that should have changed is the actual margin required to hold the position - that margin should have dropped by 50%. The cash value of the contract dropped by 50%, but since you don't pay cash for them I don't think the...

You mean your colleagues did not know how IB handled stops last friday? Surely they knew they needed to enter stop-limit orders in order for them to sit on GLOBEX, no?

So, lets get this straight - your complaint is that IB does not submit a stop-limit order for you when you tell IB to submit a regular (stop-market) order? LOL. To answer your question - yes, of course there are two prices - but only one of them will need to be changed - the other one is...

No, I think you don't read what anyone else posts. The steps you outlined to change a stop-limit order are not necessary.

Guess what? You don't have to to all of that to change the stop. So I guess it doesn't matter if the fastest hands in the world could not do all that in one second.

LOL. It takes me less than a second to modify a stop-limit order on TWS.

If you enter a plain STOP order with J-Trader (PATS), that order is not sent to GLOBEX - it is held on the PATS server - just like IB does. Look at you J-Trader software - see the "*" next to the order type? Don't you know what that means?

LOL - You aren't listening. GLOBEX DOES NOT ACCEPT STOP ORDERS.

Globex only accepts STOP-LIMIT orders no matter what platform you are using. You are going on and on about stop orders being held on GLOBEX servers. GLOBEX doesn't accept STOP orders, thus they don't hold them on their servers. Maybe you should check your facts...

The exchanges don't calculate intraday margins - only overnight. Your broker determines their intraday margin on their own.

What is GATA? The CME says it wasn't one "bad" order, i read somewhere else that someone entered 3 2000 lot orders by accident, and now this about a 9000 lot order. Wonder where all these stories come from?
