It was an odd transaction from the outset: $14 million, double the going rate, for a 31-acre plot of flat, undeveloped land just west of Chicago. In the nine months since, the curious use of the space has only added to the intrigue. A single, nondescript pole with two antennas was erected by a...

That's IB major problem. You can't do some kind of passive quoting because you will reach their OER immediately.They implemented this policy back in fall 2010. At the time I had an automated system generating about 1/4 of my income and IB put it out of business instantly...This year I try some...

Hey crude experts, what do you think about this trade? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-oil-prices-idUSKBN18614R

It looks like lately NASDAQ is the only exchange looking to maintain or reduce the data and exchange fees.This trend needs to stop. Go NASDAQ.

Yes. NFX has already taken a bit of NYMEX and ICE business. If you are trading calendar spreads, you will have the same B/A spread for gasoil on NFX than on ICE Europe, with 50 shown instead of 500...I know most ETers trade 800 lots a clip but for us mere mortals it is a nice saving on exchange...

Actually Advantage accepted to skip the overnight fee but gave me their regular commission schedule( which is still OK in my book ). I guess they are able to make money on cash again. We are not at 0% interest rates anymore...

Do you examples of such brokers?

Marex and UK brokers in general are fine when you are trading actively. You use professional platforms/VPN or desk,you pay low commissions but you also have monthly minimums( 1K GBP for Marex ).Last year as volatility in commodities went down, I found myself trading less and less. I couldn't...

I barely remembered his name. He waited a long time to publish his book. I don't know if Merrill can still sue him. Smart move. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/may/07/whats-it-like-to-lose-350m-pounds-rogue-trader-barometer-of-fear

He actually made money in 2014 and 2015 in a bear market. His track is not so bad to date. We should give him a break for now.

Weird...What was the amount we are talking about?( PM if you want )What do you mean by "their platform", Advantage has an in-house trading platform? I will probably use TT or Stellar.

Wow...That's exactly what I don't want. It's weird because I told them I would carry overnight positions up to half the account, they told me to submit a spreadsheet of products for pre-approvement. They told me they would deliberate for the aggressive pricing before creating the account but...

What was the problem? What was their claim for not refunding you entirely?

What is the basis of your trade apart from the technical setup? I can find a case for being long cocoa outright( Curve is bullish in NY ) but not really this spread. I haven't studied fundamentals though...
