I just typed a huge reply detailing everything that I went through when trying to get a seat and explorer crashed on me. So I'm going to make this brief instead: Takes six weeks to get a seat after you send in your application You need a clearing firm to back you Clearing firms have...

I currently use tradestation to chart my e-mini S&P data. I want to start trading the Eurostoxx50 in the early morning, and I'm wondering if there is a good quoting software to use if you are NYC based. Are there data providers that can pipe Eurostoxx50 data into my tradestation 6.0...

I trade E-minis S&P 500s. I make about $1500/day and I usaully only have to do about 30 RTs a day. When I have a bad day though, My RTs can be like 200. I use interactive brokers. I may get shot down for this post, but my real objective is to make money everyday. My first month out of school...

Could be elections related. Good thinking.

I was down on the NYMEX floor a couple of weeks ago and there were a few guys down there with terminals, trading the e-miNY natural gas futures right next to the pit. It doesn't really seem worth your while. I mean, if you are trading with technical analysis and looking at market depth on an...

Globex is definately halted. A bulletin from Interactive Brokers indicated so. I went to the Globex site and there was no news on it about the halt. I can only hope that they are scared the market will tank...

Look into the Ehlers Optimized RSI. He uses digital signal processing methods and applies it to the RSI. Less momemtum is used with the indicator and there is greater emphasis on changes in phase cycles. The other thing I can recomend is identifying support levels in normal RSIs and adapting...

I'm curious to know what people think about X_Trader or X_Trader Pro by Trading Technologies. I'm interested in using it as my front end to trade e-mini S&P 500 futures. I had the opportunity to hang around somebody that was using it, but I would still like to hear the consensus. Thanks.

The after hours liquidity is usually pretty bad and there is usually barely any movement. When there is movement, it usually begins around 3AM. IMHO, it is not worth to trade. Too risky.

I'm curious to know what the best futures clearing firm is? Do any have any nice features like online account management so that I can wire money in and out of clearing accounts? Thanks

What do you guys have to say about working on a floor, flipping options; from the MM, broker, or trader perspective?

Nitro, you've taken this way too far. And, no, it isn't the exact same strategy. It is basically the same thing though. I guess I read over the part where his strategies may take forever to realize. And no, I don't really need to worry too much about IVs if I'm flipping positions really...

Thanks for posting that article. I've already read it though. A buddy of mine told me to read it on the day that he knew of my new strategy. You see, the reason why I'm doing so well is because when I heard about Taleb's strategy, I realised that mine was the exact same thing. That is...

Believe me, I'm not a pretentious kind of guy, and I think that a lot of the Harvard MBA attitude will be lost to diversification. I still think that the big- time MBA matters. It's not that you need one to be a better individual, it just makes making money so much easier.

I want to start a Hedge Fund and get loaded is what I want. I don't want to settle for trading my own money everyday. B-school is important, especially if it is Harvard or Stanford. Wouldn't it be nice if you had a good trading rep, and went to Harvard? Instead of trading a few hundred...

Wow guys, didn't think that somebody would only read one line of my initial message. Yeah, I just implemented my system, I have not lost a dime yet. We'll see what happens tomorrow because I just took a position. If it keeps up, or it doesn't, I'll be sure to let you know. The bottom line...

I do some pretty intensive derivatives calculations in Excel, and I was wondering if anybody knew of anything in the works for a multiprocessor version of Excel?

Cashonly, if you use tradestation, I have authored an indicator that gives me price date for any time domain. You could then compute the calculations yourself in excel. The beauty to this method is that you can do it for any time domain, not just daily. If you wanted to do it for the last 60...

To risk is to dare.... When I trade, and I only trade options, I try to find the highest probability asset to roll into. I may look at ten stocks with great probabilities for a big move, but I'll only go with the one with the highest probability of explosive movement. In finance, no...

That's exactly what I wanted to get at as well. When the 3gig P4s come out, DDR is not going to be fast enough to make it worth your time to upgrade to a processor that fast. That is why intel is not dropping support for RDRAM altogether. You'll still be able to get a P4 that supports RDRAM...
