Eminitrader2003, Just out of curiosity - since you mentioned you've been trading futures for 1.5 years - who's your broker now? What's their commission schedule? Francis

To their credit, I asked to cancel my subscription, and received a refund promptly. And last week I received the March issue...I guess this is the one they said they're gonna send back in March...

They said they're sending me a new issue and ask me to wait another 8 weeks. Well, if I don't receive it by then, it would be 32 weeks since I subscribed to it. I think the chance of me getting it is very slim. I'm canceling it. Thanks to all who share the info.

Does anyone here who lives overseas subscribe to Active Trader magazine? I subscribed to it last October after realizing it was available to international subscribers. They charged my credit card $96 promptly. I waited and waited for the magazine to arrive, and in late January I finally gave...

I was a TC2000 user for over 2 years, and I don't believe I received any kind of spams because of them. It's gotta be something else.

My guess is that the index is dead, just like the CBOE Automotive long ago. Just checked the CBOE website, and CEX.X is no longer there. Also dismissed is HCX.X.

Am I the only idiot who can't figure out how to use IB Excel integration? I downloaded the latest TWS, the DDL, the sample spreadsheet, enabled Excel integration. I even get the sample spreadsheet to display market data of the symbols already in the sample by pressing ctrl+r. So why can't...

It seems that if I choose NOT to subscribe to any exchange, I will not be charged any fee. Is that correct, Def?

Neo, you said "If someone knows EZlanguage from tradestation though, Ensign is not more difficult. You can grow into the more sophisticated features easily. " I've tried both and I have to say EZlanguage is much, much easier than Ensign. I spent about 10 minutes with a EZlanguage example and...

I agree with Steve that we shouldn't expect much of a service from RQ. I think for us longtime RQ customers, the problem is that the RQ management seems to be gone. They used to interact actively with customers - I used to exchange private emails with Matt himself - but not anymore. There hasn't...

Maybe it's just me, but I listend to realtimefutures.com for about 10 minutes yesterday, and just couldn't stand it. DaveN is correct that he sounds like an auctioneer - in fact, at first I thought he was trying to do a Robin Williams impression (Goooooooooood morning, Vietnam!) :D Anyway...

Since the rule would not be in effect until Sept. 28, does it mean that one will be deemed a PDT if he/she makes more than 3 day trades within 5 business days AFTER Sept 28? And here's what's really confusing: "These customers will continue to be defined as "Pattern Day Traders" until less...
