I would skip the ISE currency options. I haven't checked in a while, but I'm sure the spreads are pretty wide. Think about it ; only one exchange quoting ; there is no competition or incentive to lower spreads. I would look into FXY possibly, but I haven't looked at the spreads there in a while.

TOS says ROYL is "easy to borrow" , and they use penson, same as MB.

And we all know that FDX and UPS use straight oil to fill up their planes. You know, in the same fantasy land where we fill up our cars with light, sweet crude oil...... They use custom tailored OTC contracts.

Simply not true. I agree the rates are on the high side for futures, but they will negotiate.

Using TOS, on the "trade grid" , click the print icon, then click "DDE help" . It will give you a list of all of the available fields. Pipe this into excel : =TOS|DELTA!'.LYHRD&N' Delta of the LEH Jun '08 20 put. Hope that helps.

Easy way : yahoo.com, in the quote box, type in *****.x in the quote box. Replace the asterisks with the option symbol, then type .x The .x tells yahoo its an option symbol. With TOS, you just type in .***** again, replacing the asterisks with the option symbol. The search...

Negative on that. They dominate certain markets, and you've got no place else to go.

ICE Participant: ICE regrets Thursday's trading system outage and apologizes for the market interruption. The cause of the outage was the erroneous shutdown of power by a third party to the portion of the Chicago data center housing ICE' systems. All customers in that portion of the data...

Works fine for futures, but if you are doing OTC, you're pretty much SOL. $6 spreads with a contract that has a qty of 800 is not unusual.

I work with OTC power and am having to use a squawk box to trade my real time stuff, not fun.

Webice not functioning , no ETA. Not sure if other platforms are down as well.

futures.tradingcharts.com has every single contract going back for some time, and its free

Tried out the platform, hated that it was strictly web based. If your doing tons of contracts every trade, more power to you, I couldn't stand it though.

If you are willing to shell out, try LIM. They are a data repository, and have tons of info on OTC stuff. You still have to pay for their platform and the data (say platts for instance), but they've got more energy stuff than you can shake a stick at.

Please do, spreads on what one would assume would be liquid (QQQQ, DIA) are not exactly tight..

I too used to play, with intrade, but its so hard to add money now.. http://www.biz.uiowa.edu/iem/ Presidential outcome contracts at the link above.

Commision price is available for a transaction on the trade preconfirm.

I don't think that page link you provided is right perhaps? I know its onechicago's website, and I know SSFs are thin, but pretty sure there is SOME volume there. OCC says they traded 3199 contracts yesterday. http://www.theocc.com/market/vol_data/main/exchange_volume.jsp

Using Webice (ICE exchange) lets you see the entire book. I know its true for the OTC stuff I work with and with their crude market. Pretty sure its the same story with nat gas.

Adding QTY is basically the same as cancel/replace, at least with what I trade. I agree with balda.
