Thanks Sharky,totally agree with the removal of negative reps - everyone's entitled to their opinion and if someone disagrees with a post surely they should engage in a discussion.Obviously if someone is constantly rude or obscene it's your prerogative to warn or ban them but to be honest this...

Didn't realise you could receive ebay style negatives here,I've only left positives on this forum.How could I tell if someone has disapproved of my post and 'negatived' me?I'm sure I've had plenty......

To be honest I've only ever wanted to warn people who might be unaware what is happening in the markets before they get involved so they can make a decision on what market/contract to trade with all the facts. No-one will ever convince me that these programs haven't been detrimental to human...

Never did see a black-star on Elite -Trader,but yes I am $preader on E-T,as I am here.What do you call moaning about Eurex?The fact that some a$$hole has been spoofing Schatz in 10,000 lots all week making monkeys out of all of us,or the handy programme that goes bid/offered for 5,000 EuroStoxx...

Can anyone please help? I seem to remember there being a pretty comprehensive list of all the trading arcades and satellite offices with contact info somewhere on this website but just can't find it. Am I looking in the wrong place or has this feature been removed? Any help much appreciated.

What a credit to Britain that guy looks

But doesn't the new scheme give everyone a massive 5000 messages per day before the message/trade ratio kicks in - even the most proficient price injection models/auto-spreaders will struggle to get near that amount of messages and even then they will do a certain amount of trades which entitles...

Yes that is right.However most of the flipping in these particular contracts is now done by computer programmes funded by very deep pockets.It's also not new that they run parallel models constantly assessing time and sales data to work out by clip size what the smaller traders are doing and...

The situation in LIFFE's STIRS was indeed a sad one.The majority of the locals who really helped boost the contracts in the first place are now off doing something else - forced out by a back-riding allocation model,just trading the bid-offer spread relying on getting filled on the market orders...

After what's happened this week with the quant funds reporting catastrophic losses blamed on their mathematical models,world markets in turmoil,do you still stand by your last paragraph?

It is definitely possible to be up that amount trading 2 lots,though I have to say not common. There is a huge difference trading on a sim with virtual money compared to the live market with real money at stake - there were probably a few times when if you had a real position you would have had...

BnB I would say it's lucky for you that trading went electronic as if you are scared by some 'flaming' by some anonymous poster you would have struggled in the pits where flaming had a whole different meaning. As for people saying that E-T has this negative influence,what's wrong with people...

Actually I stopped trading STIRS quite a while ago,if you read through other threads in which I've posted and note the dates you would see that I've been trading the Bond/Note spread which goes to show that you really should think before actually making a bet. As for afraid of losing my edge,it...

An interesting perpsective,as I thought the people behind the automated trading are basically seeking more and more market share and trying to drive humans out of these markets altogether including now it seems brokers and even back office staff.How can someone new to the markets compete against...

NQR.The system you set up for a 'third party',does that actually complete 400 transactions per hour or is that it could potentially complete 400 transactions per hour?Also is there any human input at all other than switching the computer on? I fear that most people who read and post on this...
