Mark:

Here is their FCM info (link below).

They offer Ranorder Pro and display retail rates at $5 RT for Ran plus $150
a month for under 5000 contracts traded per month. They offer TT for $625
and $4 per RT and a web based for $5 per RT.

Their business model, I ASSUME, is designed for high volume retail and/or
IBs. The TT platform is still primarily used by institutional firms. They
(TT) are scheduled to offer a retail version this fall.

There are several traditional clearing firms for floor traders and new
startups pursuing to capture some of this emini volume.

I think the Omega group would be interested in the retail version of TT
because of it's friendly programming. The current version is time consuming
and really not cost effective unless you trade 40 plus a day. We have it
too, it's pretty awesome but difficult to sell on a retail level.

side note....who is serving us lunch on March 7th?
