Hmm.. Interesting. I've started to do volume on CBOT products. Bond futures stuff ZB and ZN(10yr). I love the liquidity of ZN. And I started to scalp YM heavily too. Though I wished it was more liquid. But it's getting there. Do you know if IB out there has a similar deal for CBOT products or just CME products? I thought CBOT and CME had a deal to do clearing together? Can you tell me rates? Can you get it to $2 RT if someone does heavy heavy volume? Any prop firms out there can do $2RT? If someone does a few hundreds RT a day? I'm testing out a new scalping system. I also have a trend system which is obviously less transaction. I'm sure all you prop shop out there would love to hear this. If you guys can get to around $2 RT then respond. haha! 99
If you are doing a few hundred CBOT contracts/day, you would probably save money leasing a seat & trading at member rates in a primary clearing acct. The CBOT website has all the membership info available. Jessie
