Leasing A Seat At The CBOT

Recommended Posts

It would be a great experience, even if you're not planning to trade since it's a whole new ballgame. If I were living in Chicago, I'd seriously give it a try. I wonder now that CBOT is merging with CME, would they hike up the rates too?

You can lease the seat and still trade from where you are.

 

If you wanted to visit the exchange you would need clearance even if you are a member.

 

THe only benefits of being a member are lower fees and margin requirements, other than that being a member does not have any special market knowledge advantage or information.

 

From what I read, pit trading is more visual and audio of reading other traders. In essence it really is a game of big stakes poker in the pits.

I did start trading on the pits here in Bs AS Argentina, we use to have a very dynamic market during the Menem goverment... its an experience that I do miss and I think I will never have that again... I did change to electronic markets in US futures and I did a very painfull process to learn how to feel the market without the pit stimulous... I did have pit noise with Ben, but it really doesnt get even near to the real thing... I think that if you like very small scalping, that is the place... cheers Walter.

Question for guys whose have leased a seat.

 

Do you have a LLC or a Corp?

 

I have a full time job and trade part-time - so not sure which would be good for me.

 

From reading some threads on EliteTrader looks like LLC is not tax efficient.

Which CBOT membership were you looking at? there are different classes.

 

I think you are implying the B4 IDEM class right?

 

If that is the case, according to Hubert's math, you need 7 round turns per day to break even from cost of application fee and fees to be worth while, any more contracts is money saved.

 

if you do not consider the $1500 one time application fee as part of business and only the fees, then its 3 round turns a day to break even for the cost of the monthly membership fee.

 

the B4 IDEM class was meant for individual ownership/control so you cannot use anyother entity to lease or purchase other than your personal name.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
