I wanted to speak up to voice support of the changes Fireball has proposed.
To grow and mature this market it's essential that there be market makers. It means more liquidity, tighter spreads, and overall less expensive futures for everyone. Market makers will not participate if there is ever a time they cannot trade as this makes it impossible to continuously manage risk. Unfortunately this is currently is the case due to the way clearings and limits are structured.
Clearings that happen automatically as a limit is hit gets us closer to this. Continuous real-time clearing would be even better, but we can come back to that later.
I urge all members to support these changes.
