JPB, What software did you use for your testing? Thanks.

Fair point, as well. I would, personally, prefer the 90% setup.

Would you be so sceptical of a chat room that claimed a 45% hit rate with a 1:3 risk/reward ratio? Why do I ask? Well, both chat rooms will have the same expectancy of 0.8R. I'm not in anyway saying this is easy to achieve, but it is worth remembering that there is more to the bottom...

Def, Can you give more info on this mobile trader option. I must admit I see the ability to get IB on the phone as one of the few chinks in IB's armoury & is holding back from signing up. Thanks.

AlterEgo, I'm not very sure Mdmbud should be taken seriously. Of his/her 9 posts since joining at least 75% have either praised AF or knocked IB! Draw your own conclusions!

I want to move to a new broker(s). Three of the brokers on my shortlist are IB, ELocal & AdvancedFutures (not in any particular order of preference). The pros & cons of IB are well documented on this site, unfortunately one can't say the same about the other two. Incidentally a thread has...

What do elocal charge for low volume traders?

Derek, Do you mind mentioning these other brokers. As I have mentioned before, I am in search of a new broker, and consider reliability as well as responsive customer service to be paramount. Many thanks.

How far back is it possible to backtest?

Are these problems common with IB, or are the last few days just a one-off? How easy is it to get through on the phone when there are problems with the system? I am thinking of changing my broker & IB is one of the brokers on my shortlist. Though I think IB does a lot of things right, I've...

Have you had any problems with the reliability of IB? I think for reliability, eSignal offers a good deal. I am looking for a new broker, I like what IB offer, but I'm not entirely convinced about their reliabilty.

Can anybody post a superimposed intraday bar chart of the ESTX50 & ES? Is the correlation b/w the two always high, or are there periods when they do not correlate well? Many thanks.

Is there a consensus on what period of the day constitutes the dead zone???

So so true! Can I use this as my signature???

I bought a copy of the book from Amazon earlier this year for $180.00. There was a guy who must have got lots of copies and sold them to all the people that had placed offers. Some were lucky and got theirs for $90. I felt better, however, when I saw that someone paid as much as $1,000 and...

The pricing appears reasonable, but does anybody have any experience with them? How reliable is their system and who carries the can when there is a system outage? The bottom line is - are they more reliable than IB?

what would the fees be for those customers doing less than 30 rts a month.

R U suggesting you can forecast short term direction with Fib, but not (longer term) direction? How? Why? What's the difference?

Don't you charge a monthly fee for your platforms? I've been to your website, but like NKNY said I couldn't really figure out how much Advanced Futures will charge per roundturn for each platform. Do you mind telling us in plain English? Many thanks.

So what are the alternatives to IB for trading the Minis? Requirements: 1) More reliable system than IB 2) Very good bandwidth for phone orders 3) Helpful, friendly & knowledgeable Customer Sevice 4) Commission less than $10 a round turn 5) Take financial responsibility for system...
