NQ trades on Globex. ND trades open outcry. Many order entry platforms do not support open outcry markets.

I fully agree with corvus. MS is just about to discontinue their "Java efforts" anyway. Any software like J_Trader (based on MS Java VM) will have to do a migration to the MS .NET framework in the near future. Any software based on Sun Java JRE does not need such a migration.

Huh, there was no war with Irak in Nov 2000. Why did oil price move up to 36$ ? :confused:

Stupid oil price ! Why didn´t you spike in year 2000 ? :p

There is no FDIC protection or anything like that for accounts with a FCM.

No, a VPN is something different. Citrix client allows you to control an application that runs on a remote server. And it is not necessary that server and client run the same OS. www.citrix.com

Number of SSF contracts must be adjusted, but SSF exchanges still are not very well organized. Guess that something went wrong between exchange (OneChicago or NQLX) and IB clearing facilities. I also have some SSF in my account, but fortunately not MSFT.

More stuff to think about:

In my IB account they correctly adjusted the number of my MSFT option positions. No liquidations. You´re talking about MSFT SSF, don´t you ? Guess that something went wrong (as usual with this SSF stuff ...).
