Hello, I am interested in trading commodity options actively and I am looking for a cheap analysis software. What I would typically like to be able to do is charting several intercorrelated products volatility smiles( equity indexes, soy and soy products... ) and chart volatility surfaces...

OK. So next time it's your turn. Try to find an article which doesn't predict FTT armaggedon for retail traders with Wall Street conspiracy for the end of 2012. I swear it's not that hard to find.

http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/banking-financial-institutions/266121-us-financial-industry-frets-over-europe-eyeing-financial-trade-tax When we see how hard it is for France to tax ADRs on french stocks in the US, it is hard to believe that Europe would be able to tax a Chicago trader...

There's always an explanation. One time I was driving my car on a small road near Ste Maxime, France with my girlfriend on the passenger seat and at one point we see a pedestrian woman walking the same way, slowly, with some kind of hoodie over the head. It was weird because there is...

Clearly one of the best theme of the year.

You are right. It's perhaps the HFT part of the french FTT. If volume was coming from a HFT firm based in France that didn't have the "market maker" status( exempted of all taxes ), they simply stopped trading. Anyway 26 % is not a big figure. It would be great to see the effect on SBF 120...

I hope IIP participants will get reduced fees.:)

Thanks for correcting. I think the number I heard was for high net worth residence scheme. They pay a ticket but then far less on their income( 12%). Perhaps we should create an " where to escape from EU FTT?" thread instead of posting here...

And is it representative of the entire industry? I am quite sure a lot of HFT firms actually lost money this year. They are using incredibly costly technology on shrinking margins. There is no greater success in trading HFT than trading in general, for every firm that made 300 M there is 3...

Yep,but the ticket for residing in Malta while having "no job"( trading independently ) is high, 500 K I heard. Barnier says it can be implemented in 2013( unlikely IMO ): http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/10/12/uk-eurozone-tax-idUKBRE89B15S20121012

What soft are you using? If you have TT, CQG, CTS T4, they all chart native spreads.

There must be a problem somewhere. My target was hit @-10 this morning. Are your charting the native CME butterfly( if you aren't you don't get the native quotes... but it must be close )?

Ah OK, sorry, the FUTURES fly( native ).

? 6:42 AM. 17 lots traded at that price during that time.
