    As I see it, no longer are futures traders going to put up with NFA regulatory bull crap on top of increased data cost, increased commissions and exchange fees, membership fees, the fact data is throttled to give members an unfair advantage. Not to mention a whole hour between sessions to adjust trades in someone's favor.

    "Good by Yellow Brick Road"

    BTW This squarely the fault of "The Mafia - Exchanges" and the Gov. not the brokers. They are doing the best they can.

  2. I thought Trump was going to make everything great again. Is he not going to do that?

    Some things just naturally self destruct - it's not a bad thing. Just evolution, I think the Futures Industry has missed the boat because of pure greed. Which is good for them - good for them!

    Duffy is a mobster. There isn't an index futures trader on this board that beat the S&P in 2024. They sold the dream a long time ago.

    By "throttled" do mean slightly delayed, or do you mean something else?

    "the exchanges exist for the benefit of it's members" answer to a question on the series 3 exam.

  9. The exchanges are going to keep pushing until traders get together and find a suitable alternative. Wish we had an open air kind of market. Less regulation less fees

    trading micro is no longer profitable, they want you move to full size.
