$7 Round Turn, is what I think I will be paying starting tomorrow, currently $8. I've only been trading futures for a few weeks but I already I've been averaging about 30 - 60 contracts per day. I like the margin, so I appreciate the fact that I don't need to keep too much in that account...

Awhile ago I asked this board for some help finding a futures broker. After a list of many I ended up going with DayTrade4Less.com . So far so good. They use the J-Trader which I find is good enough. What I want to know is what do other futures players pay for commission. What I don't...

I knew I could come to this board and receive an overwhelming amount of help. I found my stock broker through here, but they don't do futures. I will checkout those 4 that were mentioned, IB, Tradestation, Fastrader, and daytrade4less.com Sounds like IB has a good order platform but no...

Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity, which brokers do you use? Thanks, MaxTrax

You folks probably heard all of this before but I've been reading the past threads and can't really find the answers to my specific questions. I am going to start futures trading, but I have to find a broker first. Margin power for stocks are pretty much the same wherever you go, however...

I'm not familiar with IB....do they change their prices often, or has it always been this way? Thanks MAX

The SEC says they are trying to protect the individual investors.....BULL$HIT. I think there are many times when people refrain from selling because they don't want to get caught with a PDT classification. Your decision to enter or exit a trade should not be dependent on some made up rule...

Thanks MJT. do you know when its updated?

Hi I would like to know if anyone knows of a FREE site that I can use to check the fair value. I check the futures overnight via cboe but its irrelevant if you don't know what fair value is. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.... MAX

Hi, I am very interested in trading the e-minis but don't know the first thing about it. I have only traded stocks and options but wish to get in some of the crazy futures I've been hearing about playing futures. I'm totally happy with my broker now but they don't do futures. So I am looking...

I sense a lot of bearish sentiment on this thread but in my opinion, its well warranted. We are in the 3rd phase of the bear trend, the most devastating, and as bad as its been, for most people, it needs to get a lot worse. Close your kids eyes, its going to get ugly. People say there is a...

Just out of curiosity, how much do you think the average full-time trader is making per year. I just want to see how I measure up. I was actually really surprised to read that guy did only about 25%. Maybe thats only what he reports on taxes.

How did you come up with this strategy?

That restriction on the ISLD on the AMEX bugs me. What are they trying to do to the small players? Seems to be getting tougher all the time. thanks for the post

Has anyone done a study of odd lots as a percentage of total volume to give a better look at what the total odd lots sales? I wouldn't mind seeing that in relation to the movement of the market.

I left out the part that I am seeing seeing AMEX, on the level II market maker ID on Nasdaq stocks. For instance I was trading MEDI yesterday, and AMEX would stop the momentum all the time because it seems no one could hit that darn thing. What is that and how can I get shares from them? Do I...

I've been seeing AMEX on my level 2 lately, causing cross markets. When I'm executing through ARCA, I'm not able to take the shares from this MM or exchange. Could someone please explain what the hell this is and how I can take share from that source. Thanks in advance.

Trade4me, I got on board with Prophet Trader, but I believe that I am on a different platform from you guys. I went with the IQ platform instead so I guess I can't join your group. I appreciate the invite though. Maybe we can set up a chat room? Also did you see that they came out with...

Thanks for the heads up on Tradestation. They were helpful too but I didn't like the monthly data fees. Its a hundred bucks and they only waive it for the following month if you make more than 150,000 shares of transactions. At 1k per ticket thats 150 trades. I would probably make that...
