    Holy Cow! Velocity commisions just became a joke!

    MF Global and PFG had executives that made decisions to defraud customers. If you can't afford X_trader use something else, quit bitching. X_Trader free didn't make you a pro.

    I've concluded its impossible to day trade index futures manually

    You are wrong. I have been on this forum a while now and rarely see people who have been around as long as myself, I think this is because trading attracts people who read an article about a trader, thought, "I can do that" and jump in with 3k. Thank you to all those people they covered my...

    Does anyone "spread" daytrade the ES vs. NQ or YM vs. NQ etc.?

    I was trading 4ES Es to 5 nq. Without member rates 1 spread position is really expensive since it was 9 contracts.

    Does anyone "spread" daytrade the ES vs. NQ or YM vs. NQ etc.?

    The proper ratio of ES to NQ is not 1:2, as per the CME when I was trading it is was 1 ES : 1.27 NQ, this takes in to account more than the point value.

    Does anyone "spread" daytrade the ES vs. NQ or YM vs. NQ etc.?

    I did the ES/NQ spread for a while and honestly would still be doing it if I paid member rates, a 2 lot position in this is 14 total contracts so that will eat a lot of profits and make losers way worse. This along with X_Trader pro was too much so I dropped down to 2 exchange X_Trader and...

    Eurodollar Futures (GE)--anyone else trading these?

    I read the book by Steven Aiken, he is coming out with a new addition soon (not sure when). I trade the calendar spreads but they are not that interesting now, so I am moving to ED options. The book is as good as a book on trading can be, for me that means helpful in a broad way but no...

    Build Your Own - Step by Step ( i7 2600k)

    The onboard graphics will run two monitors, but if you put video cards in then the onboard graphics are disabled (you can't run them together). If two monitors is enough then the onboard graphics on that is great but if you need more there are some great cards out there.
