I could be wrong but I believe one reason for no US citizens is to avoid the need for a Series 7. Anyways I had an account with Nevis for a while, they are great people with really quick replies. They are always available for questions. I had absolutely no problem withdrawing my money when I...

Try Bright Trading

I don't know if this has already been brought up. This $50bln or $150bln per year number they think they will extract from the trader tax bill. Well if all the big firms who essentially ARE the market are exempt and all us smaller retail traders are not exempt stop trading because we can no...

ET has also been crashing on me the last few days (Firefox version 2.0.0.14). Looks to be when it's trying to find ads at pixel.quantserve.com. It's very random and doesn't always do it.

Since you're using NT, you can sign up at opentick.com and receive free data. Just remember since you're downloading futures contracts you have to download each one separately (eg. ESDec07, ESMarch08, ESJune08) then merge them all into the current contract month. Look into the NT help file for...
