So if there were no errors that caused the spike, why in the world did they bust the trades?

Exactly - especially if that liqudation happened with a fill less than 860!

Same thing that is going to happen to those shorts that covered at 859 - they are gonna lose. If you happened to cover at 861, you will be busted and be fine. If you covered earlier than 860, you are gonna get screwed.

I agree with Lobster. Busting the trades is BS IMO. For all we know, it wasn't accidental, the "originator" might have thought he had some inside news on Saddam being killed or something. Who says the trades were entered in error?

LOL! Re: the PFG Best Emini Dow contest - there is a "bug" in their demo/simulator software that is being used to trade for the contest. You can open positions that far exceed your available margin. Totally bogus results.

I wonder if the total number of minutes of applause will be a fibonacci number?

If you don't know how to do it, how in the world would you know that "all" that needs to be done it for someone to type "* 2.5"?

LOL. Are you saying you got filled at the incorrectly quoted prices? BS.

Very common and happen very frequently? LOL. When is the last time something like *this* happened?

It is also causing stop-market order to be triggered. Be careful.

Yes, you can do anything you want with it - using it's own internal "language" or your own. There is somewhat of a steep learning curve (IMO) for people who are non-programmer types. I don't recommend it to everyone.

Or - You could just use Ensign for charting your ESignal datafeed since it already does everything you are asking for - and more, and more. www.ensignsoftware.com Just a happy customer.

No. They are taxed totally different from equities and options.

"That chart is an ATM machine!"

Guess it depends on which contract you are interested in. www.cme.com covers stuff traded at the CME.

Works fine for me. PATS J-Trader, clears through RCG, answers phone. Nothing fishy so far.

How can "market" orders be executed on GLOBEX when they don't even accept market orders? Limit orders are limit orders. The only difference being talked about here is if they happen to hit the bid or the ask.

Hi, Mojo Jojo!

MU miss.
