    CME to Repackage Market Data Distribution

    Just looks like another way to ding customers. How is it really different than what IB provides now with market depth on globex?

    real estate LA - banging my head against the wall

    I'm sitting up here in Santa Cruz these days and I've never seen so many for sale signs at such high prices in my life. Even the real estate agents think it got out of hand. Having said that, my guess is that it will be a flat to slightly down market here unless the economy tanks and they...

    HP Laptops - advice

    Well, I bought a cheap one "on sale" from Fry's as a backup. $600 got me an AMD 64 1.8ghz, 600MHZ FSB, 512MB RAM, 15.4" WS, DVD RW, and a slow 60GB HD. Seems to work pretty well and links up immediately at any coffee house I hit. DV5210us I have to say I like it so far. Of course, one...

    for those that use CCI/ profit from CCI

    Here's a link to the formulation. http://stockcharts.com/education/IndicatorAnalysis/indic_CCI.html Like any indicator it can be calculated tick by tick or at the boundary of a defined bar -- time, volume, etc.. The rest is just another urban myth/sales job.

    for those that use CCI/ profit from CCI

    I'm not assuming. I've spent the time and energy to test it and observe Woodie's room in particular over the years. Personally, I view it as a public service to debunk snake oil for newer users when it shows up. Please note I am aware you said profitable trades. Let's not split hairs here...

    for those that use CCI/ profit from CCI

    Just a thought against the cheerleading grain on this one: I'd like to put all these CCI mentors and their methodologies against a computer programmed with the same and see where the performance divergences are. I've yet to see a verified succesful CCI backtest much less a successful...

    Fidelity Active Trader Pro - Anything better out there?

    I'm playing with NeoTicker this month. It's got a learning curve but looks fairly extensive. I also received some updated manuals on how to use Smart Quant this morning that I haven't thumbed through yet. SQ has a lot of possibilities as well. And of course, I've used Wealth-lab for years.

    OIL selloff too far to fast

    A conspiracy theorist might suggest that oil prices will moderate into the elections. :D Of course, a market observer might just call this an expiry smacking in the making...

    Anyone Trading BOT Ag Futures Electronically?

    Never looked at these before... I think I am confused as to how to read this on IB. Is ZC a $1m+ contract with a $5K/point value. It's trading in 1/4s and 1/2s that sounds suspiciously expensive -- or more likely I have my calculations wrong. Any help here?
