I have been looking at several currencies and commodities. I noticed that the Sep 05 Australian Futures contract (AUD or 6A) is trading at a discount to the Jun 05 contract. Can you please explain why that is so. The Jun is expiring soon, I would think this would not occur. Maybe, most...

Vikana, Thank you for your feedback. larryTAKEOUT@seldin.net

Flier6, I did not join Optioneer. The end user, had contacted me, because he knew that I was trading Options. He wanted to learn his system, without the need to lean on the original instructors. I had no desire to pay for signals for a system that needed input from others. Hope this...

Here's the situation. I use eSignal, which creates Continuous Futures Contract data for my back testing. They use the front month contract for quoting their data, and then very close to expiration, they just "switch over" to the next month. So if you watch the daily bars, there is usually a gap...

Guys, I am getting an education. Last week, IB told me they traded the ECBOT:@ZC corn contract. I just got off the phone, with them, and another guy, says that they don't trade this. I did try to submit a limit order at around 12pm eastern time today. However, sometime after 12:30pm, the...

Boy am I "pi$$$$!!". I contacted IB and they know they are displaying the wrong multipler. The tech guy, says they have known of this problem for a long time. Their argument, is that they have a disclaimer on their website to hold them harmless. My point, is if you know you are displaying bad...

ForrestGump, Thank you for your response. I called CBOT and they verified what you said. From my impression, my broker's specs look flaky. I will contact them. larryTAKEOUT@seldin.net

ForrestGump, This is where it's confusing. My broker generally does not trade Open Outcry and really focuses on electronic trades, to market its discount fees. So that's why it's puzzling that they don't carry the smaller electonic contract. As far as the ZC "corn contract". My display...

Zf trader, I have only been trading 3 years, so I am a newbie. My current trades generally last several months. The problem with the big contract, is the risk, as it relates to my needs. I am learning to trade on Fundamentals. Currently, Corn is trading around 204. The multiplier is 5K...

Nick, Interactive Broker carries the big Corn contract, but does not carry the mini Corn contract. larryTAKEOUT@seldin.net

Lefty, I will look at the other grains. Thanks for the input. larryTAKEOUT@seldin.net

My broker does not give me access to the Corn mini contract YC, only the big contract. However, the big Corn contract is sized way over what I want to trade. Since I can not access the smaller mini Corn contract, can someone recommend a Futures contract with volume that trades similar to...

I am new to Currencies, and have some questions on some assumptions that I have, that may be inaccurate. 1) Since it has been the view that the Fed will keep on raising interest rates until some "neutral rate", doesn't that signal that the Dollar Index will have to rise. 2) Even though...

Hanseng1, I watched his 3 day course. The opening range methodology seems very much like a system from Wells Wilder. I forget the name, but his book, "New Concepts in Technical Trading" is a classic. Funny, there are stories on how Wilder is a "huckster", but many of his indicators are...

Jerry, You know, I love your product and think your team works hard. I really do feel guilty contacting you for resetting my machine. I guess I am the only one that minds having to do that, or you would have tried another copy protection scheme. So maybe in the future, others customers...

EdgeHunter, I downloaded the software and am looking at it. Thanks for the recommendation. larryTAKEOUT@seldin.net

Jerry, QuoteTracker is the best. Frankly, I don't care about the ads in the free version. I have blocker for that. I like to support vendors, who do a good job. However, I always feel guilty, like "I'm doing something wrong" that I have to get permission from you guys. As you know, I...

Yeppp. It's the best. I am a registered user, and their tech support is also awesome. My only problem, is I restore my Win2k every 4-6 months, to a "virgin" state. Make my machine work much faster and I get rid of all my "test programs" that I have been playing with. Each time I do...

Another Optioneer user had asked me to research this for him. I did and here is what I had found. I had done this research last year. At the time of my research, you would "buy the system" for 5K which included detailed learning of their system from an experienced trader. I know one of these...

I thought robustness is how a system would do over a long period of time over a variety of assets. I would think a system that is only working over 1 asset, is less robust and more optimized. Could you please explain this to me, Thanks much, larryTAKOUT@seldin.net
