Hello, I am getting back at trading futures actively and Advantage made me a nice clearing offer given I am not a high volume trader. Experiences? Is it complicated to get risk to approve new instruments? Is the service OK in general? bureaucratic? How about CFTC financial datas? Do they put...

Sorry. Yes on top of that, you now have to pay 85 $ for each real-time CME exchanges, 110$ for each ICE...The 5$ for CQG is just for their feed and delayed datas( I am on sim so I don't know if it is the same in live ).

Hello, I am testing the QuickScreenTrading software( 300$ per month ) and it looks ok if you are looking for a cheap alternative: -CQG feed( 0.05$ per lot, avoid if trading volume...)with access to gazillion exchanges worlwide. -Nice charting program with custom spread charts, native spread...

Saw that. Thought it was my computer and went to bed.

Not at all...LOL. I entered a long term trade based on historical max carry and learned just after that the basis of trade wasn't valid anymore as CME is introducing VSR in Mar18 on KC wheat.

Nasdaq brent crude 64000 contracts traded( Central order book not blocks)...If it is real volume it is not like ICE grains for sure...

Just checked NFX and there is some volume there. I remember an article about potential artificial volume but it seems now they have a little niche with their lower fees. http://business.nasdaq.com/nasdaq-futures/nfx-market/Daily-Volume Nobody ever traded there?

"My word is my bond"...until they put a price on the calamity and then all that counts is the software usage agreement you signed when creating an account. I hope for you guys they actually do.

So the bug only affected new orders? not GTCs ? Much smaller issue in this case.

Macron almost president according to the newspapers this morning. Return to normal means Cac40 +6%( ???). I know it should be tempting to bet on the outsider and financial turmoil, but I guess it won't happen this time. The french will go to vote to avoid Le Pen, even with all the terrorist...

Damn...This kind of issue can blow my account, I have armies of non-marketable orders at any given time. Did CTS moved orders to the B/A spread making them marketable or simply moving buy orders to the bid and sell orders to the ask? Huge difference even if both must have resulted in a litany of...

Hello, I am not a CTS user anymore but continue to receive their mails, and I was stunned by the mail I received this morning : "CTS Users, first let me apologize for tonight's issues with T4. We experienced a bug in our software that was revising orders and unexpected fills were received...

A good reason... Not sure, but yeah... We should respect jihadis more than this guy, which pretty much sums it all...

I don't trade indexes and STIRs to date, just commodities.

Yep. That's true for BMF. In the end, 99 % of what I do is on CME and ICE. But I am always trying to test every product/ exchange to find edges...

An other thing : Any of you ever traded some NASDAQ commodities ( energy for the most part )?
