    Boiler Room Scams

    KP, I took the liberty of looking at your post and investigating further. I am sorry if you have been duped by these people (you should post what your experiences were)....however, this is absolutely hilarious. Their website, particularly re. the management's background is complete and utter...

    Who uses Bloomberg professional?

    Chrissy T..... I am somewhat amazed that you only have Bloomberg TV to rely on breaking news. Whilst many on the site have said they regard BB as a luxury, any serious trader / hedge fund manager ought to have Bloomberg or Reuters at the very least. If you really would like to know a way in...

    June FTSE Settlement

    Interesting article in European edition of Wall Street Journal last week, highlighting that someone purchased £10,000 of the June 5075 calls on the day before expiry. Either a genius of a trader, a jammy sod, or an insider!

    June FTSE Settlement

    So what is the point in trading a FTSE futures contract whose setllement price is more likely to be determined by the price your neighbour paid for his second hand Volvo than it is by the underlying cash market? Euronext /LiFFE/FTSE need to examine this or everyone will walk away and trade...

    I have spoken with the FSA and they have informed me that the Market Conduct Division have initiated an initial review, along with the LSE's FTSE Supervision Team.

    June FTSE Settlement

    Liquidity is the least of our problems. If the EDSP bears little or no resemblance to the underlying cash market,..... why trade it at all? Events such as this will only mean even fewer people trading FTSE futures, putting an even greater strain on liquidity. A sad state of affairs which...

    June FTSE Settlement

    I am aware that it was triple witching. It is the total lack of correlation with the cash that surprises me. Am I right in thinking that EDSP calculations on FTSE were changed late last year from calculating average trading prices for a 20 minute period (stripping out outlying trades), to an...

    June FTSE Settlement

    Anyone else here somewhat taken aback by the June FTSE EDSP of 5138?...... Cash didn't even trade much above 5092!...... I didn't personally have any June positions open, but interested to hear any thoughts from anyone who was either long or short June FTSE at expiry last Friday, or even...
