This carry is at historically high levels. The Jul contract is still old crop whereas the Nov contract is new crop....

Absolutely agreed with RedRock, never trust anyone to place your trades. From what I know you're a Long Term trend follower, placing an order once/twice a month isn't a big deal :wink:

guys, I've found it helpful to look at biggest Loss that your system produced and fade it in similar situation, you can easily define such situations once you know what your system was created to "catch" and when it fails to do so, then you know it's going against you, so there's no reason...

thanks to everyone! I believe that such firms as Refco the Man Division, Man Financial and others simply match customers orders with their own when they trade so make it easier to have a good fill, espacially for those who trade small lots and of course no one on the floor would care to take that 1-...

5 $ rt that'd be 2.5 $ per side, Exchange fees are usually about 0.80-1.89 depending on the market.

who gets what?

Ok, I was wondering, when I make a trade and pay for it 13$ per side in pit traded futures, does it all go to my brokerage firm or something goes to the floor broker as well who actually sweats theer on the floor and buys/sells for me? Anyone knows anything about it?
