I post this only for those who might not know better...most of ET is smart enough to test out any service or claims before diving in, but for any who might not be... I subscribed to a free trial at the service that GD2KNO was hyping back in late Nov. The service had claimed to run for 4...

As a starting point...maybe try this website or contact the guy who runs it... http://www.tedtick.com/index.htm

Two years ago my cat made a trade for me while I was at lunch...Sadly, she turned out to have the same results most novice traders experience. I promptly closed out a 400.00 loss when I noticed, and she enjoyed a daily bath for a few weeks to rinse the bad taste away from the event. :) the...

Also been with global going on 8 months now. No complaints. Answer phone on first ring, always helpful, no snafus with my account or trades. 4th broker I've done the eminis with and happiest with them so far. Specific questions feel free to PM me. cheers

Even baseball cards do have a spread...and IPOs...and well...check it out...crazy as it seems: http://www.etopps.com/

I always thought it was "Buy more lower", that could explain a lot :D

that's exactly right :)

In my experience, if you have no standing stoploss order in, and the market is moving 'quickly' against you, a market order will be a nearly instant fill out for you. I make use of both types of orders depending on the situation.

In my experience with the eminis (2 years), slippage is a minimal issue. When testing systems I account for 1 tick slippage in and 1 tick slippage out, but often you won't experience that. With a Limit order, I rarely experience even the 1 tick of slippage, but I do encounter times where...

I dont really have a whole lot to say on this type of situation...never been in it or seen it firsthand...however, one thought struck me... Maybe going to prison would help you...offer you some way to feel that you were atoning. To satisfy the moral debt we incur to society when we violate...

I not only feel like a piker, I am a piker...I trade 2 to 4 contracts, most often 2, and trade on average 5 to 15 RTs a day.

Definitely sometimes those are program spikes capturing a few ticks, but I would watch the eprem and prem for clues to when those programs go off, rather than just the straight volume. I do know some traders who use the eprem and volume together for a viable edge in their trading method.

I think of them as buying or selling climaxes. Yes I watch them and make use of them for short term direction. Often those surges mark a temporary resting spot for the trend as they exhaust the buyers or sellers for a few moments while they reload so to speak, or as you pointed out, on smaller...

I think the C I P T are the month codes for night sessions...so for the 24 hour continuous contracts, they use those.

Might have meant buying 50k abc in 1000 lots then?

Tampa, I'm an avid reader of your journal and notice you have yet to update the most important post I've read to date...How is your Breakfast Buddy doing?

I had an account with Alaraon a few years ago, when I was primarily trading in commodities. Had ok experience with their metals analysts (gold, copper, silver) and soft commodities (sugar cocoa). Executions were good...they worked orders for me well. Left only because my trading style...

I also have an account with them...statements are fine, emailed nightly, always correct so far (6 months with them). Margin is fantastic for intraday trading of the minis etc. I've called them 3 or 4 times for intraday help when I lost connection or whatnot, always got an answer on 1 ring and...
