Does anyone know whether NYMEX will finally accept stop orders on the globex , especially for the e-MiNY?
They will move to globex sometimes in Q3. I stopped trading NYMEX's stuff because i don't want to babysit my trades. With the decrease in contract size of nat. gas, and the increase in liquidity, it is very attractive to trade NYMEX's e-miNY, given stop orders are available. So, would anybody who is close to the globex deal have any insights on whether they would allow stop orders on the new platform. I mean the technology is there, the e-mini S&P and the currencies allow stop orders. I am hoping, HOPING they will accept stop orders, so i can trade NYMEX's products again. But, i am not too optimistic.
