TGM, I think you are correct concerning the big Spoo. If they close the pit in maybe 3-5 years, they will most likely delist/discontinue the big contract. The ETF futures are a good thing with all the SHO list trouble lately. Maybe Merc has more luck than ONE in attracting a bit...

hmm.... However, for the EUR/USD I see a quote like yours with my account, but the field "Last" displays "C1.3243". I have never seen a trade dissemination in IDEALPRO. Only "C...". However, I see Last Prices for IDEAL. Am I doing something wrong ? Does the account need to be set...

to IB: Why don't you display the last traded price / volume ? I see on your internal TWS screenshots (posted on page 3 by Steve) that your employees seem to get this information, but not your customers. I'd say there is no reason for that... Is it possible you add the last traded...

Any news already on CME's end ? They will have to match that $.05, I would say.

I really did not get this. Just wondering it is over 1/2 yr old and nothing happened. Any news out - approvals / CFTC / FSA ? But let's hope Eurex platform improvements (they plan to take the "quotes netting" from CEF feed by end of october) are effective, because the current feed in...

Any information on this ? I cannot find the original post - however a) I strongly doubt Eurex will introduce Russell Futures. AFAIK the CME's license arrangement with Russel is exclusive, like with S&P b) I have doubt they can offer commodities in near future. The problem is, to offer...

got it. thx omcate ! I understand now QQQ dividend policy (quite complex), but they still make no statement if they actually have an ex-div record date on June 22 or not :eek:

Hello, does anyone know whether QQQ will pay a dividend during next weeks (june) and if so, which day ? I searched my a** off for this :( , but could only come up with that last time they paid was in 12/2003.

Yeah, two months, I noticed about the same period since then. It started earlier, I would even say last year, but for me it got quite obvious over last 2 months.

Hey, has anybody except me also the impression that market trendiness in the ES/NQ has expanded over the whole day ? The midday doldrums, low-volume, whip-saw-styled no-action between 11am and 1pm seem no longer present., at least not in the way I knew them. Instead, there now often...

you mean hotspotFX they have other drawbacks. maybe IB starts it's FX operations soon...

Hello, many retail FX shops do not allow the user to submit limit buy or sell orders within or near the current quote. E.g. if EURUSD is 1.2060 - 1.2064, many firms will not allow the user to submit buy or sell limit orders within 1.2055 - 1.2069. You can place limits only away from the...

Specialists went crazy recently, robbing every penny they can. Overall, Markets are doing well, of course not really well ! However, at the same time, specialists stocks (see LAB, VDM) are at all time lows, which means 5 - 10 year lows. I see this as a strong sign that we might see an...

"The Brut acquisition is intended to enhance NASDAQ's systems by providing NASDAQ with the ability to route orders via an internal broker-dealer to multiple liquidity pools in keeping with changes proposed by Reg NMS" Does anyone understand this ?

Mr.Market is one of the much better stock pickers on earth. However, I also noticed his (fully disclosed) method ran into difficulties recently. It is very important for him to find out if his method needs modification, since markets are always changing (although the method itself...

The rumours of NYSE going electronic sound reasonable to me when I just looked at LAB and VDM's stock. Both are at all time lows, while e.g. CME stock is still skyrocketing (All these stocks depend somehow on upcoming mkt turnovers). That might be a good indicator that we might see a...

you can install xp after w2k. w2k after xp is difficult. however, I doubt some client app works under w2k and NOT under xp. you should double-check that. it should run well with xp.

Cheers to you guys for the input. As I understand, I googled around for quite some time as well, to be not affected by the div payment in the above example, it would suffice to close position on March 18, not neccessarily before 4pm and re-establish position on morning of March 19, maybe even...

Hello fellow Traders, I am sure someone could easily answer the following question before I start to wade throu endless threads & pages: When, exactly down to the minute, do I have to be long / short a stock to be affected by a dividend payment ? Say in the following example, Spiders...
