Trading grains profitably depends alot on your time horizon. If your thinking of scalping profits from off the floor, dream on. There's going to...
For Ex. lets say currently spread is as follows: 10 bid at .10(Rest of the mkt) 2 bid at .20 (YOU) 15 offer at .40 (Rest of the mkt)...
Fine, jump in front of every trade and take immediate losses when the market moves back to the "market price". Should provide you with a real...
I've heard the rumors about the Fed buying futures too. Really no way to prove it. If they do, they'd have to come through a broker or two....
As far as e-mini's printing faster. How much faster, .2 seconds? Don't you know that all exchanges have market reporters in and above the pits...
I disagree I wouldn't say this is collusion or artificially wide spreads at all. Trading in the pit is about competition and surviving to trade...

What does open int. have to do with price discovery? Everything. Open interest is a sign of the "Smart Money". It's a known fact that most small...
Take a look at open interest. As of Dec. 13, SP 655,939 ES 470,235 And that's not even taking into account the size of the contracts. If we...
Additionally, you can't begin to compare the risk you take as an e-mini trader with the risk of a pit trader. E-mini's don't serve as price...
First off, you called me on the pit traded ES. What your failing to recognize is that pit traders act as the market makers in futures trading....
