    direct participation or via broker

    I would be happy to discuss some of the benefits of a direct Eurex NCM ( Non Clearing Membership) with you. Increased personal rapport with the exchange ( as opposed to anonymous Agency=customer business) is obviously one selling point. However, your volume should warrant a membership so if...

    Monday June 15 looks like a logical day for Eurex to move Bobl to full ticks....

    After the the latest front month expiration. Without debating all of the pros and cons, opinions of various market participants etc., it should be interesting to see how/if these changes affect the overall market dynamics in the European Fixed income arena and beyond. Like it or hate...

    Eurex Does A U Turn - Bobl Full Tick Cancelled

    The move back to full ticks is "postponed" not "cancelled". That is clearly stated in the press release that even you quoted. Try and stay focused. I hope that you pay closer attention to other trading related details. If you feel that "algo/quant companies continue manipulating the...

    So much for Global Warming

    As far as a "growing volcanic crack" being the root of the polar ice caps melting......How does that explain that almost the entire inland topography of Iceland and Greenland thaw during the spring/summer months. I dont think you can find a valid correlation with your oceanic volcanic warming...

    Any experience with CQG DOM trader?

    I am thinking of using this as an execution platform and trest drove it recently. Since I am going to pay to use CQG for charting, I figured I would take a look. I have to be honest and say that while I am not as comfortable on CQG for trading as I am with TT, CQG DOM impressed me. Any...

    Can you trade just on feel

    ************************** Yes it is possible. But not every day constantly in my opinion. I have been doing it for years and would be ecstatic if I could do it all the time. Problem is that it is not all that easy being extremely discretionary all the time . "Catching the wave" and just...

    lowest spread on weekends?

    In all honesty, you should not be trading FX during the weekends. If you think there is any edge gained by doing this, then you should really do more research and educate yourself. There are literally no prices trading on the bank side which is where your prices are eventually derived from. If...

    How many currencies are there to trade

    EUR / USD USD / JPY USD / CHF GBP/USD USD / CAD AUD / USD NZD/USD EUR/CHF EUR/JPY EUR/GBP Those in my opinion would be the majors I usually follow. The next group are also popular but not as "mainstream"....slightly wider spreads and not quite as on the beaten path.....they still...

A friend I know recently interviewed there and said their office ( inside the Gelber group) was a complete sh*thole...comparable to a bad college fraternity house with couches that looked lilke they were pee stained. I think they trade most products during European...

    Anybody looking to sell a proven, scalable trading system/model?

    ElectricSavant, No offense, but 82 trading days is not exactly a "track record" that would garner much interest in the professional community. Many traders are able to make it in the short run. Hopefully you won't learn the hard way that longevity and the ability to stay in the game is...

    CME currency futures pits

    Illiquid, No offense, but if you are asking this question then you should continue to do alot more preparation and simulation trading before jumping into FX. In FX, the cash(spot market) is the dog and the CME FX futures are the tail of the dog. Futures volume ( pit and electronic...
