Thanks for the good wishes, Splitlink. I listen to the World Service, too! Cheers.

SAVE THE RADIO 4 THEME UPDATE: As the lone voice of enthusiasm on this thread (and I've only just realised there were replies to my original posting - thanks, guys, at least you were interested enough to write) here is an update. The petition has now been signed by 17000 people. If you wish to...

Ah, Barnes ... nice place to live Mr. Chan. Many years ago I used to train with one of the rowing clubs nearby. And although its a long time since I lived in South West London I agree with all these comments about the general area.

Hi everyone, Radio 4 is intending to scrap its morning theme tune that goes out at 5.30 AM each morning. If there are any traders out there who trade the London markets, and find this music of great comfort to listen to at the start of the day - and don't want it given the chop - could you...

Good info on the now little discussed 1pt reversal, DaveJB. Thanks.

I love p&f and it's interesting to read that the original one box reversal is covered in the du Plessis book (which I haven't read) as there is very little written elsewhere about it. I'm assuming JoulesMMI that you are Jeremy du Plessis's literary agent! (smile)

This thread gets my vote for the most colourful and entertaining for some time. Good idea to start it, Arbitrager. And Pitscum, even your name makes me gag - sorry, laugh. LOL. Nice to see the S&M contract getting a mention.

Would like to join the general round of applause: interesting, informative and clearly written article. Good stuff!

I don't qualify for this thread, but the now banished BBB had a tale of Chris Eubank visiting the floor (in years past) which is somewhere in the archives on this site. (Charlie Chan - so you went into trading after your early film career finished, then? Most interesting.)

dudenhof, Brite Futures have free spread charts, although I'm uncertain if they have the Bund, but you might try them: www.britefutures.com

I'm surprised no one's mentioned that Roberto was in the Big Brother House, but since he's been evicted no doubt he'll be back here on t2w.

fastnet, The eurodollar spreads are worth looking at. As ERA has mentioned the margin is very attractive and in my limited experience they are not particularly volatile. Although I don't know about U6/U5. I've only traded the first three months (with little success but I think that was down to...

fastnet, For what it is worth (knowing very little about the above but unable to resist writing). Re: correlation - hogs consume about a quarter of the world's soybean meal. But whether this would limit the diversification that I assume you are looking for with these three trades I would not...

Ib, and apparently the CME, have now delayed implementation of the cancellation charges to August 1st.
