IB Canada is not very good for futures trading. Commissions are high and the data is a steaming pile of garbage. You can get half the commissions that IB charges if you are willing to pay for some decent software.

blah blah blah how many years do we have to hear the same old thing? I have been hearing this argument for far to long. All that matters is: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

Now if they'd only stop charging an arm and a leg for the damned thing......

Frankly I didn't know what your point was with the paper clip...

Well I guess you start trading your labor for some cash!

Go work a labor job in a good paying field like the oil drilling industry. There is plenty of work available paying ~$2500 a week plus living expenses. Forget about a city it will only mean debt and no savings. Save every penny and In 2 or 3 years if you haven't messed up or pissed your paycheck...

You must be one of the farmers who lost all their money

Boy, he's such an honorable gentlemen! Thank goodness he didn't intend to intentionally have any intentions of intending to misallocate any customer monies. Can we all please pause for a moment, give tribute to the honorable John Corzine and bask in all his re-hypothecated glory!!!

Thank you for the interesting links. Without a doubt my vision has been getting progressively worse since I started wearing glasses and it has been more noticeable in the last 5 years or so. I have known for several years that the cause of this has been the glasses themselves and have disliked...

I have been blind without glasses/contacts since I was a kid and have worn contacts for almost 15 years on and off. I have stopped wearing contacts in the past few years because I find them uncomfortable, but I will put them in occasionally and I'll probably go back to using them again in the...

I am so shocked at this revelation

Another loser cries his sad tale. This is why you better know what you're doing in the markets...

You got it! I would also add the DAX to that list if you're up early.

If you need any tick data, you're going to use marketdelta or another bid/ask volume charting package (ie - anything that uses footprints) IQFeed is a must. Kinetick is not IQFeed and not of the same quality. Don't cheap out on the data whatever you do. CQG data is top notch aswell. Note that...

I don't really understand why people want to scalp the ES these days, it moves like a sloth and especially so since mid December. My impression is if you're scalping it can't be for much more then 3-4 ticks, and if that's what you're trying to do how could you have time to post trades in a chat...

If a potential employer denied me a job because I didn't have a facebook account, I would consider myself lucky I wasn't hired.

Not a chance. Facebook accounts exist to sell advertisements, not to get a job...

I have no experience with stocks, but if you want to scalp futures I would recommend getting marketdelta or ninjatrader w/ either the gomi indicators or the marketbalance from fin-alg.com. You must have IQFeed data, don't even bother with anything else. Watch a footprint (bid/ask volume by...
