    Globex 3m Eurodollar futures on eSignal

    Thanks Jim. That sounds very likely. I hadn't thought of that. Both my broker platforms and the RT quotes from cme.com seem to filter out the spread trades so I'm hoping that whatever fix esignal comes up with also accounts for this effect. Esignal rep: can you comment please?

    Globex 3m Eurodollar futures on eSignal

    Anyone? I did get a response from esignal saying that they have isolated the problem and that it would take 2weeks to fix. Still don't know if this is server specific or plaform wide. I would appreciate feedback from other users.

    Globex 3m Eurodollar futures on eSignal

    Is anyone experiencing bad-data issues with price streams of globex 3m eurodollar futures via esignal? I am seeing erroneous spikes that do not appear on either my broker platform nor the RT quotes from cme. Repeated posts on the eSignal discussion forum go unacknowledged. A PM to someone...

    CME to offer spot forex trading in 07

    Haven't seen the article, but from what you say, I stand corrected. Hopefully it will offer access to currency pairs OTHER than those that already actively trade on IMM.

    CME to offer spot forex trading in 07

    my understanding is that to access this you would need to be trading via something like a reuters terminal. which by definition means it is targetted at banks and other financial institutions. there was a discussion about this back in May -search the archives.

    Do you yell and scream at the computer if you do a bad trade?

    Back in the early '90s when I was a wee pup and when bond markets really used to move I had a tendency to smash telephone handsets. Sure, very imature and perhaps grandstanding -but it sure felt great to smash a handset to smithereens storm off to the smoking room for a couple of B&H's and...

    be humble ... giving back to society

    1) Small amounts to charities. Nothing focused though. Very ad-hoc. Often on a whim. 2) Volunteer a couple of times a month at a local museum/historic garden. Maybe 10 hours a month meeting and educating people of all ages from all backgrounds. 3) Director (non exec) of a local...

    Having just hit the button on the order there was another question I should have asked. Does the license permit installation on desktop+laptop for the same user but with only one instance of the software being used at any one time? thanks again.

    Murray (or current users of 2.0) 1) Can tradestation code be typed into Traders Studio or does it have to be imported in order for it to be translated? 2) Can the platform handle intermarket analysis as it stands or does it require the add-in? 3) Is there an improvement on the speed vs...

    In a previous life I managed derivative portfolios including such instruments. Are you trying to value a secondary or pricing a new issue?

    Deutsche bank retail fx platform

    Two additional things would make this offering very attractive to retail traders and small funds/CTAs. 1) Acces to their institutional research -or even a scaled down version. 2) Broader offering of cross rates and some of the "2nd tier" currencies such as SEK, NOK, ZAR etc. Hopefully...

    Best way to establish CTA track record?

    I would suggest opening your account with an FCM that also has a managed futures division. Once performance is established and depending on terms, this can be a source for raising funds. So that your account is "noticed" fund it with as much as you have available. If you are serious I would...

    ER2 has topped?

    Covered most of the remaining short at 750. Trailing a stop on the residual. After so many scratch trades over the past 2mths it's nice to ring the cash register. Will not be posting here again. Edit: Mr Miyagi would say "wax on...wax off...." Dealer says "scale in....scale out...."

    ER2 has topped?

    Took 10 points profit on half the position. Will add back to the short on a bounce towards 780. And if we carry on down in a straight line? Well I'm still short.
