JayS · Nov 25, 2008

I'm really interested in seeing October numbers (& November).

I like to watch about five of them that I do business with (or have done business with).

interesting. I didn't know they published that. Does NASD/SEC post a similar list for broker/dealers?

JayS · Dec 5, 2008

October is now posted.

" column (e) customers seg required "

Is that the total amount of customer $ on deposit ?

JayS · Dec 5, 2008

The CFTC defines it as:

(e): This represents the total amount of funds that an FCM is required to segregate on behalf of customers who are trading on a designated contract market or derivatives transaction execution facility. This is the sum of all accounts that contain a net liquidating equity.

It's interesting to compare them to their June or July numbers. Many are halfed.
