    terranova what ??

    The first two are the same, the third is legally the same but separate, a branch office. I am not affiliated with them, so I could be wrong, but that is my understanding.

    Are you saying they changed the multiplier or abandoned the contract? I seem to remember it started in October, looked @ it for a while but no volume. Are we talking about the same thing?

    IB -> Globex
