Quite witty resinate.

Just curious if anyone has any ideas why one fights the tape. I see myself and others in my trading group call the moves correctly, only to try to buy a selloff 2,3,4, or more times on the selloff. At the end of the day, we ask ourselves" I knew it was going down today, why was I so persistant...

Is Bloomberg tv as fast as a Bloomberg terminal. Is it on cable or are you subscribing to something special. Thanks Just21.

Do you guys think that one should even trade the Stoxx open at 2:00 AM CST. Or just wait untill NY opens , it seems like the most volitility is after 8:30 AM CST. Just trying to figure the safest way to go about my transformation from Mini Dow to Stoxx. Also it seems easier to follow Us...

Peg leg I have heard from friends that the Dax is not as liquid, why would people choose it over the Stoxx. Probably just for the size vs. the commisions I suppose. Ya I think the Stoxx fits my style the best right now. Thanks

I'm Currently investigating trading the Euro Sotxx 50, and I know that the contract value is $10 * the index or about $25,000, can anyone tell me what the Dax contract value is. It seems like commissions on the Dax are about the same, so if the contract value is double, assuming similar...

No Idea Bell Hey Guys my clearing firm says theres a 30 cent fee through Eurex or some german bank, and 35 cents through them. This per side, so I'm looking at $1.30 a round turn. Is that comparable with what your paying through IB. Its a little less than what I'm paying for Mini Dow. KGB

Thanks for the info, Seirra Charts and IB, is where I'll start my search. How rock bottom are the commissions. How can Seirra Charts be $42 for 6 months. CQG is like 500 a month. Sounds too good to be true. About the cancelation fee: Say I;m 2568 bid for 2 and I cancel my bid they charge...

I'm thinking about trading the Stoxx 50, because I think the volitility/commision rate is better than the Mini Dow. The problem I'm having is determining which charting system is the most economical, and which firm will offer the cheapest rates. I really only need the basic charts, nothing...

Hi Don. I've been trading Dow futures for about a year and I'm a little fusturated with being limited to one market, rather than a handful of stocks. I'm looking at possibilities outside the futures markets. I currently have my series 7 , although it expires Aug. 14, 2003. I am interested in...

No offense to any pit traders reading this, but having experience myself in the pit, the vast 97% of pit traders are just glorified thieves and beggers. They suck brokers ***** to get customers orders and steal markets made by real traders who stick they necks on the line and acually step out...
