"they"? MS seems quite solid with that liquidity... Do you mean the hedge funds or hidden chinese powers short selling all over the US financials?... :eek:
tues fomc was the craziest day of trading I have ever had (last 6 years) I dont even look at the bid or ask anymore and just trade off the graph. remember when the 10Y was 5000 bid by 5000 ask?
Will size come back when volatility dies down? or is it gone for good because the banks have blown out? I need to find a market with some depth before I have a heart attack, maybe the bund

No Lehman, no Bear, Black boxes turned off as hedge funds scramble for money it will be back not like two years ago but we should see the TY 1000 by 1500 again and the bondo with 300 by 500 again I hope because right now a thousand lot can move the market (ZB) 8-10 ticks which is just rediculous!
have you guys ever had screaming matches with a trading desk at your brokerage?
I called in this morning to unnamed broker, their platform was mostly down yesterday, so some of the trades I made yesterday had vanished off the accounts.
So i called them and asked them politely if I should make the trades again, or will they find the missing trades, I dont mind either.....
The NY guy on the other end starts giving me attitude how I should have logged each ticket number, now he has to go find them, etc etc - like its my fault their platform was down, and its my fault their system didn't assign trades to the accounts at the end of the day.
Well if any of you have seen tom cruise in tropic thunder - that was my response. So after getting transferred to the head of the trading desk it was resolved.
What is it with people in NY? they think everyone in the world is OK with their condescending attitude?
