Sorry, that should read 'demand for the storage trade'

When trading €/$ what size order in millions will start to influence the market due to liquidity 50 mill, 100mill, 500mill??? Anyone have any direct experience trading for a major forex dealer? In addition at that size are you having to specially negotitate a price?

Hi, can anyone tell me why when if I'm looking at the big dow contract on the CBOT website and click 'live book' it comes up with the mini dow?? Most of the volume seems to be in the mini-dow, does anyone really trade the big contract or do they just go for the S&P500?? Thanks.

Hi, Can anyone tell me what the typical spread is on HSI futures from someone like IB and does anyone have any experience of running IB's TWS software on a mac? If so, how does it run and what hardware are you using??
