That's what I meant with my post, but not here to put words in your mouth.

Ok thanks, that was my suspicion. My network utilization seems a steady 0.02% :)

Actually, they have another level of service at 50mbps. Is this a case of "every little bit helps?" Or is it just useful for downloading movies?

If you're just looking at quote speed, will it make any difference to upgrade from say 10-15mbps to 30? My cable provider just started offering an upgrade and I'll likely take it (just a few more dollars/month), but is this just going to increase bandWIDTH as opposed to increasing the speed at...

He's saying if he's always behind a large bid or offer, he will only get filled when it's disadvantageous to him (for the moment).

Even better, can you imagine trading perhaps 2 or 3 times a week? Or even a few times a month? If you knew the elements that rarely coincided together yet provided extremely favorable risk/reward setups, would you not just take those trades and nothing else? You bet I would too...

Well said. I don't know about you guys, but it's far easier for me to maintain my cool at the poker or blackjack tables than it is in trading, probably because I know each card is random at the casino. In trading however, the markets are often inherently set up to hurt the most people...

It's kinda scary though when your money is nowhere to be seen for a couple days during transit.

God bless you . . .

Great, the whole board is bearish . . . what if ism comes out sub-50?

Don't knock flexibility -- the amount of money available to you is directly proportional to how quickly you can change your mind.

feels real crowded though :(

short this thing

Does this apply to cme currency contracts as well? Or did that go to 3:00 pm?

thanks much!
