You traded both extensively? I guess not.. Eurex is shitty but at least it doesn't crash every other day..
I trade a whole lotta A/C/E, Globex, Eurex, and Liffe. Member/Seat Holder/registered trader in all. I know that Eurex has an older system... but it's never given me much to complain about in terms of stability and speed. Liffe likes to crash on a regular basis if you're trading it from the U.S.A.. And, Sashabr, I trade about 20,000 Euribor cars a month on Liffe, so experience, not some line of crap about bits and spread algorithms is in play here. I love Liffe products but I absolutely hate the platform. It screws EVERYBODY who isn't trading packs, strips, or bundles. Liffe could triple their volume if they let more flat price trade before the spread algorithm kicks in screws the rest of the orders who had time priority at that price. Liffe's reply? Well, improve your price! No, improve your algorithm. That's why Eurex gets the business. If you're first, you get them first.
I'm thoroughly pleased with both the Eurex and a/c/e platforms. Unsubstantiated insults makes it sound like you work for a competitor platform.
After this morning's snafu (Eurex opened 2 hours late due to problems), I'm no longer "thoroughly pleased".
Insult is not "Unsubstantiated". Eurex is based on 64kbit technology. They are not willing to change this. Their market data policy is even worse.
They are passing buttons out at the CBOT...."LIFE is better without YOUR EX" They are trying to do what they can to limit the Eurex. It didn't help when Sec Treas Snow visited and walked through the floor when some idiot clerk yelled to him..."Hey Snow, BUSH SUCKS!!!" Probably not a good idea to insult the people who can help out the exchange. Anyway, Secret Service were all over him and he was fired by the CBOT.
