Do some future brokers take other side of order?

Or some researchers from the brokers told clients to buy
while the big money (like those investment banks) took the other side

Well then... isn't it incumbent upon you teach them a lesson... to be a smart player and SHOVE IT UP THEIR COLLECTIVE BUTTS for fading your smart-ness?:D

I can agree with that but in practice, I don’t find it better. The ICE offers some products that are virtually identical to CME products. I find them more expensive and ICE does not offer non-pro data. When you compare the CME with one order book with US Equites and how fragmented they are, I prefer one order book.

I'm all for paying market data and transaction fees but I'm against one company controlling almost all US futures. Competition often serves as a driving force for innovation.
 
In the mid 90's I did quite a bit of stock trading. Once I got into futures 14 years ago, I rarely trade stocks. I for one am very thankful that CME even exists, for a wide variety of reasons. They also continue to introduce micro contracts that are liquid enough and very utilitarian; as just one example the MHG, micro copper has made me some nice dough recently. Thanks to their efforts to build a world-class operation, I have the key futures market vehicles I need to make a living. Long ago I stopped using ICE, they shot themselves in the foot when they started charging a ridiculously large monthly fee for access to their precious data and platform. Perhaps some day they will reverse course, their dollar index was a handy tool many years ago for me.
