They want to attract more participation in the OTC Carbon Credits trading markets. Which as it’s currently configured is manipulated and is mostly a wealth transfer mechanism and to date hasn’t really lowered Carbon emissions an appreciable amount as far as I can tell. But academic proponents...

Destriero had a fantastic thread in the Journals Section documenting his options trades earlier this year. He is undoubtedly a superb options trader. And while you might not be an options trader, reading that thread will give you a sense of the level of knowledge and competency required to be...

Such a strange thread to read as a lifelong futures trader.

That limit down on election night 2016 didn’t last long :D

Why should a foreigner invest in something denominated in a currency that is routinely devalued by the State ?

I haven’t seen micros changing the structure of the bigger contracts to date - the fee structure for the micros is brilliant in that respect.
