Search on cbot has revealed that last day of trading in bonds will be 7 days prior to last business day of the contract month. For DEC2003 contracts it will be 19 Dec2003. March2004 contracts are already trading and have higher volume than Dec2003. Here is the link for volume info...

This is very good and detailed explanation. I appreciate it. In my understanding forex treated like 1256 contracts and should be reported as commidities. I trade commodities and do not claim trader status to take advantage of 60/40 treatment. I guess it would be ok for me to keep things as it...

What is first notice means and when will be the last trading day and time for Dec 2003 contracts. Thanks

How the currecy traders taxed on their profits. Do their brokers issue some kind of statement to irs. Help is appreciated.

Tradestation would be your best bet

I don't want to get into emini debate. They do not fit my style of trading anymore. I am sure other traders trade them successfully, but I want to save my money made from emini before it goes down th toilet, and I think forex is a viable solution. I wish to trade most common currencies traded...

Well this is load of info, I'll have to search a little bit more into forex trading. I traded emini successfully for about a year but now it is getting hard to trade them as there is no range and volatility sucks. I appreciate eveybody's answer. I think this thread will be good for newbies who...

I am a new forex trader, moved from sp emini futures. I want to ask few general questions. (1) Which dealer offers least spread between bids and asks. (2) Is esignal a good choice. What is their spread. (3) Which dealer offers a good value for trader. Thanks for response

Esignal. Stable data feed and above average software

Project86 Business trader is someone who trades for living, since you don't you are a not business trader but you still have to use form 6781 to show p/l for commidities trades. Here is scoop of this situation. People who claim as trader status can deduct their full losses from their...

Project 86 You do'nt have to show each and every trade in futures, because for commodities you brokers give you year end statement showing net p/l. But you should keep a record of trades just in case.

Gtt tradelog is the best, I've been using it for the past three years and use it only once on a weekend before tax time. It only takes one hours or may be less to do every thing.

I have IB account for about 3 years, never had any accounting problem. IB rocks

I've been trading ES for about a year. In the beginning I made decent money with 10 contracts targeting one point with 3 point stop loss since Dec2002 until July 2003 and have lost all money since than and now broke even with it. If I lost more money within the next few weeks I will call it a...

I bought sager notebook last year from www.powernotebooks.com and its motherboard went dead exactly 2 days after warranty expired and I had to send it back and spend 535 dollars to put a new mb, plus two way s/h. I know this can happen to any piece of hardware but I would not buy from them again...

I also dumped realtick for their high price. Now I have IB and esignal for about a year and I am happy with this setup. I pay 115 for their unlimited plan being a IB customer. New esig 7.4 is awesome and charts offer anything you want. Lot of custom studies out there in their forums. If you want...

Is somebody using time trading software from www.tradersinternational.com, or has any opinion about it.

I will conquer with Ditch that these two symbols change roles. I only watch es, nothing else, more you watch more you'll be confused. Somebody said it correctly paralysis by analysis. I think you just learn to follow es or nq and know their personality and see what is happeing in charts, they...

For futures trade you don't need any accounting sw because your broker issues a p/l statment and only shows you p/l for the year. For stocks I use tradelog and I am using it for the past three years without any complains

I know it shows metastock version but if you read the manual posted just below the link for dp it is mentioned in setup section that this indicator is available in window on wall street day trader edition. Thanks for your help.
