    Is there still an edge?

    bump. On the globex price banding pdf( http://www.cmegroup.com/globex/files/PriceBanding.pdf), I only see an electronic market for the corn/wheat spread and the south american/north american soybeans spread. What am I missing? Which broker offer those spreads? Thanks.

    Is there still an edge?

    Really? Is there a feeder / live cattle spread electronic market for example? I don't think I have access to it with IB. Thanks for the info.

    Is there still an edge?

    ZWE? I don't understand how you can make a market on an intermarket/interexchange spread since AFAIK it's not a contract by itself like calendars with distinct order books...You have to leg in right? Or am I stupid?:p For calendars, it must be possible to play MM like on another market but...

    John Carter charges 25K per week per person for mentoring ???

    If this John Crapster makes more than the guys on the P§L thread, it's simply disgusting... Just watching his face would require him to pay ME 25K per week to attend... You fucked my day with this thread.

    Bid / Ask Question

    More liquidity in spot doesn't mean you will have less costs entering/exiting ... A lot of forex brokers function like bucket shops where you cannot provide liquidity... You can always do it on currency futures so I would suggest to trade currency futures for limit orders and spot for market and...

    Trying to let winners run for 4 YEARS, so depressed

    If you cut losers and let winners run, you're in the 60% of traders that are not so dumb. If you want to be in the 20 or so that wins, perhaps you need an edge...:)

    messages/volume ratio...

    OK Thanks Burnbabyburn, It was the first time I was trying to do this with a bot and I just figured it 's really hard to meet those benchmarks on almost any market. Are LMMs exempted? Just another "screw the little guy" type of regulation... Are there markets that don't have those ratios...

    messages/volume ratio...

    I really don't know for ES. I'm sure there are a lot of traders doing a lot more cancels than that, of course... If you got no warning from the broker, you must be fine.

    messages/volume ratio...

    Thank you Wyckofftrader, I am a little pissed about it. I really didn't know they were that low. I was thinking about 500 or 1000/1 Yesterday, I was watching how one algo was placing bids and offers on this particular market and I didn't understand why he was placing them that close to the...

    A new problem with TWS DDE API...

    Thanks Moron, It would be weird since I didn't update the API, nor TWS in the last 2 days... Prior to that everything was fine... I can't bear those order attributes by the way, they gave me so much headaches...:( :(

    A new problem with TWS DDE API...

    I thought the same since ECBOT is no more and it's now globex for ags and liffe euronext for metals but it's not the case... My instruments are still on ECBOT. Thank you... I will ask IB about it.
