What i mean is a quantitative analysis site where you can interact with tools rather than a qualitative blog or site where there is merely commentary. Thanks A.

All I am looking to identify the very top half dozen or so data driven websites / webtools that are loved by the trading community. Ideally these should be both simple to use, be of very high value and look great or as a minimum tick at least 2 of these three boxes. Thanks for your help...

Hi Both these posts are really useful. This is certainly not a HUGE conviction bet the house trade but if i have done my research and built up the picture that i think i have built up (albeit based on macro factors) i think this is worth risking a couple of percent of my portfolio on. I quite...

Hi All Can anyone suggest the merits of using options to short a stock versus outright shorting the stock. I want to short a stock that i think will drop to half its current value in the next 6-12 months. It currently trades at $22. Jan '11 $10 put options currently trade at $0.45...

Hi Does any one use this service. Ag Futures and Options technicals and news. Not expensive but limited detail of methodology prior to sign up. Best A.

Hi Can anyone name any good tools for researching pairs trades and looking for stat arbitrage opps across a broad range of markets (excluding bonds). I dont want anything too sophisticated but it needs to be robust, have as minimum end of day data and low cost (or eveb free). Thanks A.

I too think this is a great idea. Anyone who wants to do the same via skype or msn or even emails i would be interested. Just send me a personal message and i will respond. A

Yes these include commissions and taxes.

Hi All I am interested in benchmarking my performance. Last year on my trades i returned 31.5% vs 23.5% on the S&P. This YTD i am trading 4.6% versus vs -1.8% on the S&P. I have only had one quarter in last 5 when my drawdown was larger than S&P. My best quarter in last 5 was...

I thought the content looks very poor. These tend to be vendors trying to sell $$$K courses to would be traders. Networking might be ok. I hear consistently that Morningstar Investment Conference is really best VFM in the US for content and networking.

totally agree - hence i personally suggested books by highly respected authors with no system to sell.

Hi Having been on similar journey and built a big library i would recommend these books. They are more general trading than strictly day trading but the insights / knowledge and evidence base is highly applicable and these are terrific books - at least IMHO. Market Wizards, Jack D...

I don't "trade the news" but it looks like an interesting and useful news service albeit not cheap.

Anything less than $25,000 and you wont be able to day trade. A

Hi Does anyone subscribe to Tradethenews.com? Its not cheap but is it any good? Are there cheaper alternatives? Thanks

Hi George I meant to add - do you currently use any of these products and in what capacity - speculator, hedger, ag business, other? Interesting range of companies but from what i can tell none of the products seem to really be that robust and the products look pretty low value. I thought...

Hi George Thanks for the response. This is really useful. Best wishes A

Wow - we have some bitterness issues huh. Life is too short to respond to this nonsense and i guess why would I since the respondent to my email is so clearly psychic. For those with less acidity permeating their guts / brains i am interested in a genuine trading partner and all the parts...

All Outside of the USDA are there any information providers who generate crop estimates for example from satellite imagery? If yes can you point me to these. Thanks A

All I am a macro / fundamental trader with a swing to longer term bias. I maybe place 3 or 4 day trades a week but usually news / fundamental / momentum plays. I do some chart reading but am no tech / quant. I know both the US and UK equity markets well as i am a Brit expat now living in...
