SunGard Webinar: Are You Paying Too Much in Exchange and Clearing Fees?

Thursday, July 29, 2010

10:00 am - 11:00 am CT

Online Webinar

Are you paying too much in exchange and clearing fees? Do you miss deadlines for claim rebates? Find out how to ensure that you're making the right payments and develop procedures to avoid future errors in this complimentary Webinar from SunGard.

Futures commission merchants are facing multiple challenges around exchange fees, clearing fees, and brokerage claims, including more complex fee schedules, regular modifications of fee rates and levels, and shorter deadlines for claiming rebates.

1. •Do you know whether you are up to date with the latest fee schedules and rates?
   

2. •Do you have a fee review procedure?
   

3. •Do you manage fees on an enterprise-wide basis?
   

4. •Do you always send in your rebate requests before the time window closes?
   

Many of these challenges can be overcome with the right internal policies, processes and procedures to prevent miscalculations and miscommunication, as well as detect errors and ensure that fee rate updates are reflected in existing accounts.

CQG & Strategic Trading Webinar: Harnessing the Power of Market Profile

Learn how Market Profile concepts can be applied to trade all markets on the Chicago Board of Trade, from FX to commodities

Thursday, July 29, 2010

3:00 pm - 4:00 pm CT

Online Webinar

You will hear from a leading expert about how Market Profile works and how it clearly identifies market value area, price extremes, trend days, neutral days, and non-trend days.

Market Profile is a powerful analytical tool that was once only available to floor traders. It now places valuable market price and volume data at the fingertips of individual electronic traders. Market Profile organizes market data in a way that allows individual traders to identify who is in control of the market, understand the perceived fair value for the market, and identify the prevailing direction of price movement.
