Thanks to both of you. For some reason I was trying to use the chart itself to retrieve the data. I completely oversaw the "historical price" right up in the top left corner. Not much of a computer nerd, obviously cant see either. I would still like some additional suggestions if anyone...

I haven't quite figured out how to export Open, High, Low, Close daily figures going back. I will look at that again. Thank you for the telechart suggestion.

I currently have an account with Scottrade (Their ELITE platform) and can get daily data going back 16 months I do believe it is. Is there a source (through a broker or internet site) where I can export or download daily data going back perhaps 5 years? I am not seeking charts, I am seeking data...

You people know that the last even mentionable dip was back in Feb. - March right? Why try to pick at a top, don't folks find it easier to just position themselves in a trend and let your profits run? I suppose I am in a minority, I like trading to be simple.

Exactly what I was thinking, if the market was that predictable by that guy ... I think he would be doing something other than making 40 posts a day or whatever his rate is. Everything is so obvious after the fact. The same debate goes on in the currency market. "Professional" analysts have...

Hey all, I have sent numerous messages to several futures brokers and have not received many responses. It appears to me that Interactive Brokers is the only broker that trades FUTURES currency crosses such as Australian/Yen, Euro/Swiss Franc etc. Why is this? Is there just no liquidity in...

Thanks for the help folks, I was unaware ETFs were just now becoming a big thing. Will log all the links, I appreciate it.

Ha, thank you for your concern. I use TeleTrader services for my forex trading, I do not trade stocks/etfs often. I do not want another service I wont use. USO was listed in 2006 as another poster stated, that is what I was interested in.

How come when I look at all these ETFs, the chart only goes back say, 3 months, 6 months? Do they just not offer charting records going back that far (the brokers?), or do the funds somehow get renamed and or reset? For instance, I have just recently started trading USO, my broker only...

Thanks for the reply. The reason I am interested is because I have begun investigating the benefits of selling one future against another. Say Crude oil against propane etc. Since the two are heavily correlated, same $ amounts would work into the positive if entrances were made efficiantly...

Is there a way to be flexible with ones futures contracts? I want to be able to enter a specified $ amount, not pay such and such for a contract. Is there a way to do this? Or perhaps there are stocks that represent specifically the Nasdaq, Dow, SAP etc.
