Are you sure they can choose NOT to join after the QMV vote?

Not much, just simpler to program and it gets really messy when you have traded 10s of instruments in the day, they don't disappear even if you are flat, so you have to check 10s of instruments, and I am not even talking about trading different expiries or spreads of a given symbol...It would be...

Hello, I don't remember if I already asked this question before, but is there a way to request current positions in the portfolio for a given instrument? I am using excel with DDE links but I guess it must be the same problem with other languages... If you use the sample spreadsheet for...

If you don't use IB, I really don't know. It seems quite hard to find datas for LIFFE commodities. Here is a website but I don't even know if you can export datas: http://commodities.euronext.if5.com/commodities.aspx

Hello Tallent, Do you mean for LIFFE Commodities or generally DDE links with IB? For LIFFE Commodities, IB doesn't offer options trading so there are only futures quotes available. Otherwise, if you have an IB account, you can use DDE links and excel to get any quotes on any exchange...

Thanks Ktm, Indeed I am still holding the contract and I think it will stand. My fill wasn't caused by a weird event, it's just the same kind of fills that the MM is having every day. It's just that it's the first time I see an MM quoting larger spreads than the no bust range, and I don't...

Hello, Yesterday, I got a fill on an extremely illiquid contract. It was the first time I traded this contract and I was leaning on the MM( improving the current B/A spread by a few ticks ). After seeing how wide the spread was at the time, I realized that my trade was outside the "non...

Problem solved with the help of Def. If you are using DDE links, just use "LIFFEuNdErScOrENF" as exchange instead of "LIFFE_NF".:)

Still the same problem with exchange "LIFFE_NF". Someone from IB can help?

Only one winner( the fastest ): good or bad? http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/618c60de-4b80-11e2-88b5-00144feab49a.html#axzz2GM9iWoqP At least that's better than the usual "whatever-looks-fishy-must-be-HFTs" ZeroHedge articles.

Yes, their work has value. There are good fundamental explanations in the encyclopedia for how spreads behaved at the time( although E Geman "Commodities and commodity derivatives" is better IMO ). It's just that the great bubble of 2008 and fund activity nowadays make their book obsolete.
