    Good observations.....I agree, but I've only been trading ES about 8 mos. It is sort of a hobby for me, but I find it very fascinating. Thanks, Stosh

    Dumb TA Question re IB charts

    I don't do much TA, but I do refer to IB's line charts. What are these yellow pointers (arrowheads) that are all over my charts and how do I get rid of them? Thanks, Stosh

    As California Goes so goes the U.S.

    If you go by all the TV news, California real estate is a disaster. However, I take most news reports with a grain of salt.......don't know who to believe, though. Lots of times people see what they want to see. Stosh

    If I opened an account directly with MF Global

    IB charges $4.80 total round trip. That is their bundled rate....I think unbundled might be a little cheaper if you trade a lot. Stosh

    Warning: Don't trust IB's TWS Portfolio page or Trades Report for positions

    All things considered, they offer great value. There are a lot of things wrong with my wife that I have been trying to fix over the last 40 years......I'll keep trying and I'm not leaving. Stosh

    There used to be a guy named Steve who worked for IB and would address such things here on ET frequently. Haven't seen his posts in quite a while.....probably got overwhelmed. Stosh

    Who typically trades ES after hours?

    I just noticed your question was "Who typically trades ES after hours?" I really don't know where the bulk of the trades come from. I hope there is someone on this forum who knows if it is mostly individuals or if there is much interest from hedge funds, foreign banks, any big traders. I...

    Where's Charlie Gasparino? I don't watch cnbc all the time, but he used to be on a lot......haven't seen him in a while. Did he get canned or something? Stosh

    Who typically trades ES after hours?

    Night trading ES is a lot different since you obviously don't have any movement in the underlying S & P index to watch. Of course, the Asian and European markets have their influence in turn but they definitely are not determinant. In my opinion, we are all guessing what will happen in the...

    Would you do it all over again?

    I don't know for sure but I'd bet that the LONG-TERM successful 10% of traders know a little something about economics, politics, foreign affairs, and follow the news......not just the charts. Stosh

    Warning: Don't trust IB's TWS Portfolio page or Trades Report for positions

    Good point. It has gotten to where I can't trust the trades window or any of the P & L columns on TWS.....and it take a few minutes for it to show up and retrieve it from trade confirmations under acct mgt. Sometimes if you reboot the errors will correct. Stosh
