thanks...I'll use 164.10 as the all time high, thats the best I could find.
While I was nosing around just now, came to the contract specs of DX. $1729 initial margin, day trade half. 1000 times index. Sounds like a bargain to me. I might just get my toe wet in that...

Once I figure out which way the USD is going, that is.

Weak PA on top...Bid zone is 1,3735-45...i am waiting for the price to get there at least.
And risky short for a 15 pips stop

looks like euro is just breaking through resistances waiting for dip

Shorts got stopped out at 1.3755. (-3.5%)

If it breaks this resistance 1.3837 may be the target

Classic5K posted downthread, and you had it pegged, for the looks.

The NYFE! Did you have a seat? They were around 10 grand. I almost bought half of one; they had T-bonds, if you remember. I asked around, though, and the general tone was "meh." So my friend bought the whole, I think for around 12. Sold it a couple years later for 6. Leased it out for 183.33 a month on a 2 year lease, exactly covering the seat hold costs.
My first seat lease was at the CME for an IOM seat, I paid 4,200 a month for a year. Years later it had fallen to 1,200, with the start of the Eminis. The price of the seat had fallen to I think 120/140K. I bid 110, and never got filled. Then the Emins took off, and so did the seats. Then the CME went public, and they converted the seats to two parts. One part was the trading right, and the other part was the equity. I think the CME stock opened at 48 its opening day, and then went to what 800, lol. Needless to say, it would have been a nice little trade...lol

NYFE had sent out to brokers to promote it, pretty sure they started trading it the 80's.
Ah, sorry. I read over that part; you meant NYBOT. I just got so excited about the reference to NYFE, (that was the NYSE's abortive foray into futures). I hadn't thought of it in years.

I think your right. NYFE traded..well the NYFE and CRB I think, early on before they started listing all types of things.

At our propfirm, I don't allow most traders futures trading for example. Too risky for our firm. Imagine, if some traders are calling in saying they have 3 shares of POT, and when i look at it its 3 puts

Yeah, all the Chicago seats: CBOT, CBOE, CME, all made the old men millionaires one more time on the public offerings. The outlier exchanges, except for NYSE (which got down to 70 thousand at one point), pretty much nothing, until London came over and bought the NY exchanges, but even then, I don't think they made much.

I remember those sub-seats. IMM got to trade a few pits, IOM a few others, like that, right? The big trade would have been CBOT for under 200 just before CBOE; they got an options seat for free. A lot of the old grain men had no idea what they had just been given, gave it to their kids, that sort of thing.

Hell the guys in the meats made the most. You had to have a full to trade the meats. When they listed spooz and the euro$'s, they gave away those IOM's and IMM's for next to nothing, to get people to trade in there. I knew a guy in the bellies that had like 10 seats, lol.

Futures are too risky? Margin set by Value at Risk formulae, regulated by the CFTC, contracts guaranteed by a AAA credit cross-indemnifying clearing firm, and you think too risky? Compared to 100:1 forex trading at a bucket shop incorporated in Nigeria or some place, trading in the most manipulated stuff in the world, futures trading is like gramma's utility stocks.
And nobody's had a truckload of pork bellies delivered to their front door in years.
