This is half correct. Yes, if you are holding the position when the CME deems it "marginable" at 4pm CT but there are many futures brokers who want the commissions that will let you take the trade off just before the cutoff and put it back on after the 5pm open at $500 margins. You cna then hold...

If you are willing to deposit $25,000 firms (some that are sponsors on here so they can chime in) will offer you $500 margins at night. So with $25,000 you can hold 50 contracts. With each ES around $125,000 in value you would be trading $6.25m in notional value. Simple math an $500 margins...

CALLumbus...digging into the stacks of wax...Planet Patrol brings back good memories. Nice.

For the big firms like Schwab trading revenues do not really matter. Take Schwab (SCHW) for example. Only 11% of total revenue comes from trading fees. They are a bank and fees related to deposits and margin loans are what drive the bulk of revenues. In the first quarter of 2017 core net new...

With all due respect, you need to do a little homework first. All the information your require is online. Here is a good resource - http://www.cmegroup.com/education/

This is a good point and sad. You are right, the more you trade the more FCMs make so options get no love. In addition to less transaction revenue they raise the FCMs SPAN margin which in turn raises that firm's capital requirement. A lose, lose for the FCM.

It is impossible to know the risk without knowing what commodity or contract your are referring. Since you say "contract" I assume you mean futures so let's assume this is the ES (e-mini S&P) one of the most popular. If the index is at 2100 the notional value of 200 contracts would be 2100 *...

So true. I really used to enjoy ET. Now it seems like it is a site for Ninja and AMP's personal battle. I realize they pay the bills for ET but in my opinion it has come at a cost to the site. Do I really care if both have a webinar at 3pm?

The CIA is one of AWS largest clients. Every time you load an app and click for it to be allowed to ready your emails, calendar, etc. guess who is watching.... Data backup firms are brilliant...why don't you load all your files to our server so we can scan and index them.... Free...

Where do you see the CME disciplinary reports? I just saw this on the internet and it caught my eye with the $200k fine.

Interesting read about Mirus (Ninja) http://www.commoditytrademantra.com/gold-trading-news/mysterious-massive-seller-who-flash-crashed-gold-in-2014-finally-revealed/

Why save when Uncle Barry will take care of you?

Mercedes is the poster child of how to take a luxury brand and tarnish it down to an every day brand. Mercedes was once a luxury auto firm. That was until they introduced the C-Class at $35k that looked remarkably like the S-Class at $125k. Maybe they figured they could sell 4 C-Class to every 1...

Not living life to the fullest in the moment, in my opinion is a big mistake. No one is guaranteed tomorrow so why would you eat peanut butter sandwiches for 15 or 20 years so you have some money when you are 40? Seems off. At 40 maybe he will have money but not health. This is not to say spend...

Surf. Just curious why you think they will not collect? I am not sure where this is in the legal process, I assume it can be appealed?

Anyone see this? Looks like TT was awarded $16m from CQG. https://www.law360.com/articles/634903/ill-jury-awards-trading-technologies-15-9m-in-royalty-row

Neilsome - you are correct that payment for order flow is primarily for equities and equity options (internalization and payment for order flow). Currently, there are no previsions for payment for order flow in futures. Not sure why FCM's continue to have this language in their agreements. You...

The title of this thread almost implies one would expect NE to have class. Not sure that is the case.

Not sure how winning one SB in 10 years is a dynasty? Last win was in 2005. Since the Steelers have had 2 SB wins in 3 appearances. I you feel better about calling the Pats a dynasty go for it. I prefer, cheaters.
