But BM§F Bovespa isn't...

Yes. I just checked.

CQG is supposed to have JSE. I saw it on their data fee schedules.

Which ones? Are you an IB? To which FCMs?

Hello, I am looking for a new broker with access to global exchanges for commodities( Ags, energy, metals...). Here is what I am looking for but I am not sure the dream broker exists : - Access to more obscure exchanges like BMF, ICE Canada, LME, JSE, TOCOM... - No proprietary trading unit...

Great documentary. Blair Hull, Peterffy and Dave Lauer, the programmer from Citadel seems genuine when they talk about HFT, but Haim Bodek is just whining because his shop failed. So you lost priority in one strategy because of Hide Not Slide orders, what about changing strategies? How does...

Damn...I know one guy doing a lot of BZ under this program...:banghead:

Sig, what makes you believe this? I am sure he has been completely beaten down in terms of self esteem because he lost all his power, credibility... but this kind of people would have never put 75% of their net worth in anything. We are not talking industrial leaders of the 20th century...
