It looks like your data is using the index itself vs. the futures. It takes several minutes for the index to catch up to the futures at the open. In short, you cannot buy the SPX at or near the opening price if the futures have already moved.

The most significant issue I see is the cancellation fee. Since I deal primarily in CME products, I am not exposed to it - but I see the results. I have always thought the cancellation fees were BS and anti-competitive at a minimum. If an institution wants to jump ahead of my order, they risk...

Everyone join me in welcoming the Rev Al Sharpton to ET.

That's the way I picture the process evolving. I will often step in the middle just to be out front and first in line. It's common to see a few people leapfrogging each other to be first up. Whether you are buying or selling, smaller increments are a good thing.

I use CL for full size oil on Qcharts. CL06Q.

I would take that to mean 37 "BY" 80, or 37 to buy and 80 on the ask.

I'm picturing this mr market guy as closely resembling kim jong il in an elvis outfit.

List with the many databases out there - Barclays, AutumnGold, Morningstar, IASG, etc...

1) Have them wait til near month end to wire it. If it's a separate account, just wait until the first of the month to start managing it. You can certainly accept funds any day, but it just makes the accounting a bit harder. 2) Most basic software will do this for you. I think my...

At 34% a year for clients, I would beg to differ with that statement.

Top speed wise it does. I think you have to question the practicality of doing 250mph anywhere but on a track. Really, pushing anything over 150mph on most US roads is asking for problems...potholes, deer, possum, other bad drivers tend to dampen the experience. Ferrari is working on the FXX...

There was another thread here on ET awhile back on these chaps. Some who did some DD seemed to believe the whole operation was suspect, for many reasons.

Hardel Volatility Arbitrage Fund Inception Jun 2005 Worst DD 5.17 Comp Annual ROR -1.55 2005 ROR Final -0.59 2006 ROR (Thru May) -2.13 Current AUM 1.78M Not sure the inflation rate for that period, but the mattress may have won this one.

I think a lot depends on why you are starting the position. If you are creating some balance or a hedge or the second part of a leg, then you may need to chase it a little bit and pay up to prevent the need for chasing it a lot a few minutes later. In these cases, you may have significant...

I'll throw in my two cents. The equities ARE the indices. DJX is basically thirty of the largest and industry/sector leading companies. Many sectors will move in unison, so if the sector leader has improving prospects on a given day, the thoery is that the smaller fish benefit as well. You...

osho, Even if it does accept your order, you will not get filled unless someone is actively taking the other side of your spread. In other words, with the legs trading cheaper than what you are willing to pay - you still may not be filled.

I don't believe ES is supported in terms of the legs getting filled separately. I was entering ES spreads on IB for the longest time and wondering why I was only sometimes getting filled and my prices were being passed by. It turns out, Globex will accept those orders as true spreads and...

Back to Vic's methods...that is if you guys can stop cocking your legs on each other for a bit. Why in the hell is Vic down 28% when the SP was down 3%? His latest interview mentioned that they were short term trading - 1 to 5 days. Could this be true? I always thought he was primarily a...

That article misses the entire point. Prior to 9/11, these grants didn't exist. By the headline logic, we didn't care about protecting anything in this country prior to 9/11. My issue is what the agencies bought with the money. You can only buy so many command pods for a million bucks...
