I dunno why it wont open directly then - it does for me.

Right click on the link and then "save target as..." and save the PDF file to your hard drive - then open it with Acrobat Reader.
 
Quah rules the freaking mouse! LOL, that worked. Also, when I opened Adobe it asked if I wanted to install a component to allow web viewing of *.pdf files...so that was the real problem. Thank you for your help.

Excellent - now you have found the "holy grail" of TTE!

As for why anyone would want to sell 100 ES at the market, (which is only $4.9 million in equity value and could very well have been part of an option or equity hedge ) go ask George Soros why he wanted to sell 5,000 full S&P Futures "at the market" on the opening of the Thursday after Black Monday in October of 1987.

Answer:

Some people have no idea about the "mechanics" of the marketplace and are too caught up in theory.

Oh my God ! You understand nothing. We talked about 100 YM.

100 ES ... ROFLMAO ...
 
waggie,

before I leave you alone with all this "ES" and "YM":

- an ES is a S&P MINI Future, Mult. 50
- an YM is a Dow Jones MINI Future, Mult. 5

the YM is not very liquid, compared to ES or NQ (explain later...),
so if you hit the book with 100 market, well, it can be really
a pain in the a**.

I can understand you, since you are probably out of trading
since 1995, when you said you were a prof. trader.
However, since then markets went electronic
and there were major changes in how liquid several markets are.

We will bring you up-to-date in the coming months.

PS: Waggie, if at all possible, pls leave me alone sending
me more PMs.
 
waggie AND saschabr, I read all of your posts on this thread, and there are major errors in both of your arguments and knowledge of the index futures. Maybe you guys should quit while you're ahead and stop embarrassing yourselves.
 
Do you always spend your 3 day weekends and 4th of July's on elitetrader.com supporting morons who think that every trade is a conspiracy and that one can sell thousands of ES on one trade?

What's wrong, no friends or family to enjoy the fireworks with?
Such as shame. Another poor lose with nothing better to do than to sit around on elitetrader.com

I'm off to the Berkeley Hills to enjoy the view.
Ciao Buddy.

I just happen to be sick tonight. Not doing anything. Why don't you look and see how much I actually post on this site. But I do find it funny that you replied so quickly to my post...within 8 MINUTES! What's wrong Waggie, no friends or family...or NO LIFE? Such as shame. Another poor lose with nothing better to do than to sit around on elitetrader.com.

You sound extremely defensive. Good night Waggie, hope you enjoyed your 4th!! :D
 
I had neither a 3 day weekend nor was I at home last evening.
All I did was respond in a public fashion to some personally
offending PMs & posts from this strange guy, waggie, but
as he totally fails to come up with something substantial
regarding the trading mishaps of thursday, I still can
only conclude that the YM mistrade was a major abuse
and should be investigated.

Regards

I thought the CME lifted the 250 cars limit...

After posting the above, I went to the CME website. Nitro, you're correct. You can buy/sell all you want, but limit for one trade is 250.

An order for any quantity may be accepted for E-mini outright futures. However, Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) requires that orders in excess of 250 contracts be entered into the GLOBEX® system as multiple entries, the quantity of any single entry not to exceed 250 contracts. I.e., customers could convey and brokers could accept GLOBEX orders of any quantity. However, they must be entered onto the GLOBEX system as a series of entries- no single one of which may exceed 250 contracts. During pit trading hours, orders for 31 or more contracts may be traded on an All-or-None (AON) basis via open outcry for the E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini NASDAQ-100 contracts.

Obviously ACE should have a similar "single order max" rule. In fact, there should be a regulation REQUIRING all futures exchanges to have such a rule, to prevent this sort of error-driven chaos. I doubt that a 250 single-order-max on the ES would hamstring very many people.

This seems like basic commom sense to me. Why it hadn't already been done makes about as much sense as leaving cockpit doors unlocked prior to 9/11.

sax
