a mate of mine has told me about a new UK based SB service that will offer touch prices for SBs and the ability to join the bid or the offer. The company will charge a percentage commission and very competitive financing rates of around 1.25 over libor. Will post comms when I find out but should...

Hi, I trade FTSE futures, never looked at DOW, I like the mini S+P as a comparison, I think you find most of the professionals watch this an indicator for FTSE in the p.m. Plenty of opportunity to make money in FTSE but discipline is the key.

That's been the standard way of doing things for a while. Perhaps I will send them an e-mail as well. Thanks for the reply.

Probably a bit of an old chesnut this one. According to the Sierra documentation for the Nov 2004 version Historical data from mytrack can be run in the same instance of sierra as that running IB Intra-day data. I have been through the instructions and and added the mytrack info into the data...

Take it Off!!! Just remembered the refrain to any visitor (Usually German) with bad clobber. Ha ha ha!

Eubank Yeah I was there that day, can't remember if he walked around the floor or just appeared in the gallery up at the UK end. One VIP? visit I remember well was Jamie Redknapp. A guy from the stirling pit rushed up to him and declared " I'm your number one fan, I've got all your records"...

Dave T Perhaps you know the answer to this question: How much of the recent (1yr) price increases in base metals like copper is due to the weakness of the dollar? Is this the most important factor or is Chinese demand more important? Are base metals prices markedly higher on an indexed basis?

Bored GE, Eurodollar is not an FX product. It is a short term interest rate contract that helps investors hedge US interest rates.

I think LIFFE had a lease that stipulated the floor had to be turned back into office space when it closed. Liffe still occupies offices in the building ( above Cannon Street Station)
