I haven't been to the floor in almost 4 years. time flys! However up until the last year i had a clerk in my ear @ the merc just quoting the bigs. joey wasn't exactly small when i was there but deff not the biggest. i only hear bits and pieces of what happening down there now. we have a couple...

thx SL. Joey wasnt huge when i worked down there, but im sure you could pick out his voice. the guy sounds like he drinks a glass of sand before trading each morning. haha :) again, glad u can find some useful info from the squawk. good trading! jim

Borsellino? are you sure? He owes the merc $$ for some fines and i dont think hes been there in over a year. I really doubt one local pushed it lower by 8 handles. the locals are glued to that mini board and make there markets around that now. i really think the mini leads the way. Im glad you...

Hey gimp, I love the keys. Although Im in Chicago now I would love to make the move someday. I look at real estate in the keys at least a couple of time a week (sometimes more). Prices have come down but like u said still very high. Key West is the most expensive but such a great little city...

goodday. nice thread u have going here. KRSNA..i really like what u have to say. It really makes alot of sense. I think anyone can learn to trade profitably its just a mater of how bad u want it. Please keep the posts coming as they are very valuable to me. good trading. Jim

WHY do you continue to trade a market that you KNOW is manipulated? If I though it were a rigged market I would tak my money and go home. I really cant believe this is what u think . good luck jim

pretty sure its 1500 now. i dont have a problem getting off my 1000 lots! :) j/k. the answer is 1500. jim

I know you cant say exactly and there are alot of variables but what could one expect, being a member, to pay round turn or per side. Even if you paid 25 cents per round turn on the commision. thx jim

scalper. great work on this thread. love the spreadsheet. When I do the math it looks like the 1.39 you are quoting would be per "round turn" if you lease a seat. making it an even better deal. On the spread sheet it seems youve got it broken down to closer to 70 cents per side. i could be...

good point John. the more i think about it the more u just might be right. in the spooz they would use a constant leg price all day for one side of the spread as long as it was in the days range. it doesnt matter to dealer as he just wants his quotes to be correct ( i dont blame him). sounds...

it also seems as if the bad ticks are about the same distance from the real mkt. i think the spreads are your/e-signals problems. good luck. jim

This is a total guess but when a spread trades they will post both legs of the spread ( at least on TT they do). seems they might be picking up these ticks and posting them as trades. if you watch the eurodollar trade on TT u will see this. the mkt could be 9463 @ 9463.25 and u will see prints...

Hey Scalper. Great thread and spreadsheet. Im curious about your physical location when trading. Are you set up from home or are you at the Merc? Im wondering because of speed. I trade the ES from the CBOT building on TT and it seems very fast but even if you were to get a T-1 line at your house...

It used to be that you could only execute 30 minis at a whack. This changed aprx four years ago. It has changed a couple different time in the past few years. Im not for sure but I think the limit is around 1500 per trade now. Jim

This morning we were talking about this OLD commercial on CNBC. You know , with the lady in the radio booth answering questions about "the money paper". I mean is that chick still even alive? I guess this says something about my age. Or my past obsession with CNBC. I think this commercial was...

nice to hear your doing well....lets get a Ceres buzz when u come in. jim

wtf? cbk!! whats up? ctc....there are some bad people over there. hehe jim

im sure this is true but could you imagine trying to make that sort of a payment on 40k per year. i wouldnt want to try. jim
