What is the best online trading platform for trading spreads on futures and viewing updated spread quotes? :confused:

So have I. In fact I have sit all day with the best bid/ask and watch hundreds of trades go by on the tape worst than my price. Talk about screwing the poor public suckers. There is no such animal as the NBBO. I have documented trades several times and provided it to the SEC. No reply. The...

Hate to reply to a thread several years old, but you are looking for a needle in a haystack if you are reading forums for trading 'secrets' or for someone to share their profitable trading strategies. It ain't gonna to happen.

"there will be a larger weekly volume at price directional changes." from my previous posting. Eample is GE price/volume: DATE HIGH LOW VOLUME 2009-04-27 12.85 11.78 92121000 2009-04-20 12.48 10.85 117902900 2009-04-13 12.73 11.14 170059200 2009-04-06...

GE is one of the stocks I follow as a market indicator. As the bull market gets stronger, GE will be in the $23-26 price range by July 2011. Oops! I am out on a limb:eek:

"better off looking on a weekly scale if you want to use market performance to develop a bias." LOGIC Agree. Daily you can't see the forest for the trees. In my opinion, the market will be up over the next three quarters. The economy will be getting better, even though slowly, which will be...

All prop firms regardless of their setup provides more leverage than PDT allows. Also, all of them uses a 'sub' account for their traders. The money on deposit by a trader has no protection under SIPC. Your funds are only as safe as the prop firm.

I am probably older than most that post on this forum. I can remember when speeding tickets were the major source of revenue for small towns on US Highways before the Interstates. Madisonville, Tennessee use to have speed limits of odd numbers like 24. They would stop people from 'up North' for...

I want to write an exceptional book but I don't want to give anything away --------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are thousands of those kind of books already written

A person can not day trade stocks with a low capital account. An ole trader advised me a long time ago that a jealous man can't work and a scared man can't gamble. Without a sufficient funded trading account, you are always afraid of losing. So how much money is needed to day trade? In my...

IMHO unemployment is way larger than they're admitting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- People who have drawn out all of their unemplyment are not counted as unemployed. The government considers those people 'not actively looking for work". Florida...

The President tonight called for new regulations to 'stop' reckless speculation in the stock market. What do you think , besides reinstating the uptick rule for short selling, they have in mind? Speculation in the markets have been around since trading began. But the insiders have just about...

Only a FCM can accept deposits. FCMs that clears for introducing brokers will be the only firm holding funds.

There is NO protection for cash held by a FCM in a commodity futures account. Your funds are only as safe as the FCM. The Exchanges clearing houses have a fund to protect customer assets held by the clearing house. But most funds held by FCMs are not on deposit with the clearing houses. If the...
