The $7.50 slippage I refer to in the following quote: If you can save $7.50 per Emini S&P transaction in slippage due to a .10 tick increment...
I used to do business with one of the larger firms that backed pit traders in Chicago. They told me that the average Gross Profit of the hundred...
I'm not so sure that it is the number of levels that price has to move through that stops a move - rather I think it is the intensity of the...
Good entries, patient exits, strict discipline on stops, keep costs down, go both long and short - BUT ABOVE ALL, YOU GOTTA DO SIZE...
Desperate and now childish. Anything to avoid a more efficient market. I guess when businesses like GE, GM etc. look to cut costs you guys...
I got a CBOT:zf98z though it has a bunch of tick errors in it
S&P pit traders are making in excess of $500,000 per year with a .10 tick in the pit. Don't worry about there being liquidity providers if...

The CFTC is supposed to look out for the public good in the futures market as does the SEC in the equities market etc. I am from planet earth -...
The above is another ridiculous comment made by someone who probably benefits from having a wide tick. You guys must really be getting desperate...
Exactly! Let the market decide it. If the minimum tick size is reduced to .10 on the Emini and the liquidity demands a spread wider than .10 -...

Don't quote me on this, but a friend of a friend of mine has an in-law working in the Pentagon on a secret project to liberate Canada. It...
