CME - Trader Caught Cross Trading S & P In 200k Lots

Quote from TraDaToR:

200000 lots = 138 K in exchange fees alone( full member rate )...LOL

With that volume they qualify for a .225 discount per side on Globex fees. So only $48 K in exchange fees.
 
Quote from joe4422:

This is interesting because if a large firm wants to excite people into buying, what better way to do than to create an enormous buy volume bar. Anyway, they probably don't need to pay exchange fees as they're liquiditiy providers. Just another tool to manipulate the markets.

Everyone trading ES has to pay exchange fees. Just look at the CME fee schedule.
 
Alright everybody, get ready for..

Die Hard 9 "Die Trading"

Bruce Willis reprises his role as action-seeking policeman John McClane, this time on his most challenging assignment yet: Wall Street.

International trading terrorists have commandeered fiber optic lines into all of the worlds stock exchanges. Their plan? To insert a virus into the internet in order to overwhelm the exchanges with disruptive trading, bringing world commerce to its knees. McLane is up against lethal villains that give new meaning to "trade execution". Hold on to your seats as you go on a rip-roaring roller coaster of gunfights, explosions and international finance.

Starring:
Bruce Willis as John McClane
Tim Geithner as The Lapdog
Ben Bernanke as Bumbling Ben
Lloyd Blankfein as The Mastermind
Dolph Lundgren as Henchman #4
And a cameo by Jim Cramer as the screaming guy nobody listens to.

One man. One gun. One ThinkOrSwim account. McClane.

Coming this fall to a theater near you.
