Thanks Nazzdack for the explanation.

50-150 RTs per day for me, 0.45 $ commissions per side, full exchange fees since I would pay a lot more taxes in my country if I set up a firm to get an ECM.

No, I am an IB client as well it's not a bucket shop. As you stated, we are market makers and locals.

Man, you auto-ridiculed yourself with this sentence. At least when you try to talk loud, try to know the guys you 're talking too. If you trade at a bucket shop, it's neither YoungTrader nor BondTrader's problem, but yours.

Yep, I was intrigued when I arbed it and saw the positions remaining on my TWS. I searched on CME website, didn't find anything and thought they weren't fungible in fact. I also noticed the "spread" don't require margin at least. I will ask IB.

Scalping is not only types of uncontinuous market making... There are a lot of instruments where you'd better remove size than provide liquidity. Bottom line, you have to watch the book, T§S ... long enough to know what to do.

YoungTrader, I am currently short 1 ZC July and long 5 YC July on my IB account so I don't think they are fungible...Am I missing something?

I heard a lot about "attachment to the liberty of transaction and investments","markets that have been a great mean to create wealth", "need for liquidity" lately from political leaders... They are also targetting more on "institutions that represent systemic risk" and less about little guy...

That's right. Let the fun continue.

I just say some of the posters /followers have really similar style of writing...But you are right about one thing, you are too lazy to change handle... Perhaps it's not you but don't believe every new poster on this thread is a fresh newbie.

Now I have the sensation this thread was a joke from the beginning. Some of the contributors are spanish talking to himself on a different handle. He tries to have a different "style" for each one but end up with the same kind of structure / logic. Some other posters are for real, those...

Yes, you are right, I followed this thread from the beginning and can't wait for the next chapter...I stop now.

It depends if the - 4K day came out of an extraordinary event, like a fat finger or a surprise rate cut...In this case, you can maintain the same size, it just happens from time to time... If you bleeded all day long and possibly felt that conditions are now different, you'd better pay...

Spanish, Now that we know how much of a great trader and manager you are, let's talk about the switch tre you made down the stairs at SouthBank.

2 nd joke... One last and I stop.

Man, the results you posted in the P§L thread were quite impressive and consistent... What happened to your trading or self-confidence? I turned full-time when I was making about 5-10 K$ a month with a run of 8 months without a down week... At this point I was totally sure that my results...

Check the date today... I know, it wasn"t funny...LOL

If I m right, there are mini contracts on comex gold and silver already( different tick size than YG,YI ). Are they trying to create the exact same as NYSE LIFFE?

Perhaps my twsdde files is just an old one with obsolete DDE syntax. I made my own spreadsheet for futures trading and it has worked great for 4 months. I will add stcoks soon. BYE.

Total Keops, I don't understand... My futures order syntax works, your stock order syntax will likely work too... I just wanted to get a sample stock order for coding since it is the first time I try to automate stocks. I don't know why when I try to get a sample out of twsdde.xls it...
