at http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/fx/files/FX248-2010_FX_Product_Guide_and_Calendar.pdf platform fees for TT can be up to about $650 one exchange Commissions are up to you and your broker. I have three futures accounts now... You shouldn't pay more than $4 r/t/ in any case without any...

Don't forget Electronic Leases. See comparison chart. Essentially you have to do about 25 r/t day. I've done 73 r/t today (on scalp side...I didn't say I don't also trade longer term). Just waiting for conclusion over there then close up for the day. http://www.amptt.com/CMEseatlease.html

Actually, I think one farmer in Wisconsin used to set the price as he had a handle on the market. Today the large producers can set the price in products like milk by throwing its weight around. Big railroads are doing same for wheat...overwhelming smaller businesses and driving away...

With TT you know from fill where you are in line (set in options menu); if you buy 23 and you are 489 of 500 and offers don't dramatically reduce your place in que you might infer that it may not go offer. If you think that you may be wrong you can pull your order and resubmit it later. Some...

I second this definition as well, or would say it is most accurate. Also use TT, which is all you need as they provide charting. Don't forget interest rates; they can provide more bang for buck. Locals don't necessarily trade for 1 tick rather look for early trades when you can get a few ticks...

MB, thank you for your prompt reply. The product may well be a step forward--I hope so. I will be paying attention. Best of Luck.

I'm v interested in tradevec, though I can find almost nothing in the way of documentation and they've been working on this platform for how long? Is it seven years? Do you stand by this, MB (assuming it is the same presently posting in this forum)? " I've been using the new TradeVec...

Don't forget to multiply the the ES x 5 to equal 1 SP (whereas it used to be 10). Why pay more if you're going to buy large? (not that I would know first hand) They introducded the $25 electronic Dow; I think that most locals and seasoned electronic trades would have preferred a $10 contract...

If you're getting ben pin pointing commercial buying and selling from the pit it can be worth listening to. It means more when you have levels or recognize where trades are likely to occur. And occasionally ben will emphasize large traders covering or occasionally caught long or short and are...

Sorry, but Pulsinelinetrader, the original begun for futures traders, is no longer supported, at least that I can see. Now a Forex trading site, the operator has professed the benefit of trading Forex over Futures. My sympathy has waned for Finn. I would be happy if I could be proved wrong. On...

what about cqg front end (w/o charts that is). That alone is reasonably priced. Doesn't hurt to have two brokers on different machines, so Ninja or IB would make sense for charts and backup broker. It' s quality and won't break the bank? TT is available from Velocity on a per trade basis. You...

How did you get from Nazi's to communists? Barak is not from Chicago but was influenced by community activists since moving here--it is a city that is still highly segregated. Community services are not dealt out equally in this town. In wealthier neighborhoods communities have very little to...

As of this time the PLT room is not functioning and their is no instruction (a few confused stragglers, but no charts). Finn, the owner is apparently ill. He does not reply to emails in a timely manner. His product has been worthwhile, however, he had been frequently updating the software and...

It wasn't Wikipedia that formed my opinion of AR (invalid assumption which I addressed in my post in order to quell that issue), rather a a convenient vehicle for overview. Note the number of references there. I come across discussions that make me want to post--so I did. My opinion is my own...
