Maybe it's the black & purple color, or maybe a single click seems will create an order, and the lines starts jumping around scares me. Well, if everyone say it's simple, I'll give it a try.

I don't know. TWS looks daunting to me. Currently I use QT with TWS. But QT sometimes gives me headache too. I know there are frond ends like free Bracket-Trader, TSim+, and subscription based NinjaTraders, Futures-Trader, etc. I think I'm just not young enough to trade like boys...

I just subscribed to eSignal. And found eSignal provide so-called "continuous future". Like "ES #F" for S&P futures. My question is, if I use eSignal and trade with IB through eSignal's IB plug-In and use "ES #F" as symbol, what will I be trading when ES approaching expiration date...

Wow! Didn't expect I can get so much info & advices. I was called out today to help my uncle moving his stuff all day long & was just back after 9:00PM. Thanks for all the replies and I think I need some time to digest them, but I bet some of them will be very helpful for me. (Especailly...

I'm new to futures, and just started trading. Can anyone tell me which one leads? The index, or the future? Like if DOW index keeps going up, then futures (Let's say YM) should be up too? Or sometimes futures lead? How do I decide? Do I watch future alone or should I watch both? Is...

If that's the price, it's just too expensive for me at this moment. Might have to start with basic service first.

Since there are many users here use eSignal, I think I might get answers faster. I have IB account and use QuoteTracker for trading, but thinking using eSignal as datafeed so I can do some backtesting and automated system trading. My question is, if I only want to trade some futures and...

Finally got my former employer send a cashier's check to IB and now the account is fully funded. Thanks to everyone for the help!

I don't want this. I don't want this, either. So this mean I ask former company pay the broker (IB) on behalf of me then I can avoid all this trouble?

This is what I'm scared. My former company's HR manager thinks he know how Rollover IRA works and surely it shows he doesn't know anything! I have argued with him that this will create problem and he insisted that the 401K plan company have to pay my former company first and then my former...

Rollover IRA, Penalty Questions and a long story. Hi, everyone, since I can't get a satisfied answer from either my former employer, my accountant & my friends, I think maybe some elite trader here can answer my question better. I left my company one & half year ago. And I have...

The way I'm going to trade is maybe only twice a day, 4 times most. So I'll try to draw possible support/resistance & trendline the day before and only trade where I see a very good possibility of a good trade. I watched all indexes closely and I feel if you can pick top & bottom, you will...

Yep. 1. Easier to calculate because its minimum fluctuation is 1 point, so you don't have 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 . And 2. Easier to predict & anticipate. Just wonder DOW has only 30 stocks. NASD100=100 stocks, S&P500=500 stocks. So it's easier to move DOW index when they pick...

Thanks. Watching mini dow futures for over a month, have bigger trading range than mini S&P and Nasdaq, easier to calculate too.

thanks. will apply one.

Anyone trade mini DOW ($5) at InteractiveBrokers? When I look at their website, they showed CBOT A.C.E trading hour is 12:15 - 17:00 (ET) & 20:40 - 23:50, doest that mean you can trade mini DOW in the afternoon session, not in the morning? Thinking open a account with them, but mini DOW is...
