I have a 17" Mac Book Pro and I use VMWare Fusion to run XP as a virtual machine for trading. Inside of my virtual machine, I run TWS and Quotetracker. It works quite well. I haven't tried the Mac version of TWS, but I would be interested to know if it's stable. Although I'm not sure I could...

Scottrade...arggh. I don't need to trade futures, I just want to WATCH the index futs. All traders can benefit from that. Well, thanks for the ideas Surdo. Dilly323

Hi all, Does anyone know how I can watch the market index futures in Scottrade? What are the tickers for the ES, ER, and NQ futures? Many thanks, Dilly323

Would I need to do anything special to use my track record as evidence? My broker is IB, if that matters. Sorry, I'm aware it's a noob question.. thanks, Dilly323

Hi all, Since the beginning of the year, I've turned $10,000 into my current balance of $62,000. I did this by following intra-day trends on individual securities, rarely holding overnight, and cutting losses quickly. I managed to be on the right side of a few big moves in the financial...
