I was just testing you guys.... and you passed!

Huh?

Ok got it, Idk why I was thinking tnote futures were priced by yield earlier... so yeah, rates down, prices up

I don't think anyone has any idea what they are talking about lol

No, what is the reason?

Why did ZN jump up on Friday when the numbers were worse than expected? Doesn't the bad numbers mean that interest rates are less likely to be raised? ...That's why the banks' stocks dropped... What is going on, why did the 10-yr note yield go up on Friday?

So I've noticed over and over again on futures options that the theta value on the day before expiration "stalls", dropping to almost zero the day before the last trading day. Is this a miscalculation on part of IB or is this theta value correct? Yes, I am saying that the theta loss on the 2nd...

Good point, we will see how earnings develop

Oh, I just read something that said Yellen was talking about raising rates... well, I guess what I really need is to find out how I can watch Yellen's speeches online? Anybody know how? I can't seem to find it...

But why could the dollar be getting weaker in the face of a rate increase sometime soon... inflation expectations, I guess, but what about the effects of the expected rate increase?

I am in US unfortunately, and yes I see this on the ES options... Maybe I should become ES market maker if nobody else wants to do so!

Why were quotes for CLG16 still being updated today? It has expired, so is it otc trading that is causing further price fluctuations? I'm utterly baffled...

I'm monitoring far itm options on liquid futures and the quotes are appearing and disappearing. Is this unique to IB or should I get a real data feed? What other advantages could a different data fees provide besides the tick by tick vs IB's periodic quotes? Thanks for the help, any other advice...

What about just pure gambling... if I disregarded the actual supply/demand mechanics and just speculated (blindly), could a retail trader share the ability to buy/sell say, futures contracts with a some kind of OTC account?

You're right, I don't know how electricity markets work yet. I figured I would learn the trade mechanics first. If anybody has ever actively traded an OTC derivative, I'd appreciate it if you could offer some advice on how I would even approach this... I've been "googling" but nothing so far.

CAn you recommend a book that would show me how to get started in otc markets... or how would I learn if I wanted to get into this field? Don't say LinkedIn either...

Hmm

ISO? I'm in the US. Would I just start calling different brokers and then make an account with CME. Where would I get broker numbers

What is $10mm? Does somebody know how I can open an account and start trading these electricity derivatives?

I am an experienced trader, but I've always used a broker. In OTC markets, I guess I act as my own broker, but do I have to be licensed? How do I get started trading? For example, if I wanted to trade electricity derivatives through CME Clearport, how would I start? What am I missing here... thanks.
