Blueem, the hi for the QQQ today wasn't actually 43.57, but was 42.65, so the range (with a low of 40.30) was 2.35. 1890/2.35 ~ 800. I see the bad 43.57 number on my QCharts too, but I checked the intraday, and it doesn't seem to be real. -v

This thread contains some useful info putting futures into perspective for stock traders. It mentions 1 NQ is similar to 800 shares QQQ at 5:1 leverage. With the recently reduced NQ initial margin, it is closer to 6x leverage now. 1 ES is similar (I think) to 500 shares SPY at...

I just downloaded the free version of Nextrend (the "Trader" package) from this site: http://www.nextrend.com/ It has delayed stocks, indexes, and futures, with interactive charting and analytics. It also has realtime mini futures according to the thread below (thanks to Redart for...

Thanks for the replies. I found a link in the IB press releases that suggests CFCO might be Cantor Fitzgerald Co. CFCO is listed as an exchange in the IB symbol lookup page. I heard QQQ stock would trade on the CBOE floor at some point, and IB symbol lookup does indicate this. I...

If I type in the symbol QQQ in the IB TWS, I get the following list of routes to add to the page: BEST, AMEX, ARCA, BTRADE, INSTINET, ISLAND, NYSE, RDBK If, instead, I create an order line for QQQ, and click on the Dest. column to bring up the route drop-down menu, I get the all the...

Does anyone know if getting a Series 7 (and 55, etc...) means having to pay the "professional" fees for data from that point on, even when using it to only trade your personal accounts? For example, you start trading with Echo or Worldco. You sign up for QCharts, which you only intend...

John, thanks for the posting your article. It would be very helpful to me and perhaps others if you could give some examples of the kinds of Excel worksheets and VBA code you used. I can get daily OHLC data into Excel, but I don't know enough about VBA to proceed. Thanks. -vitajex

You might try the eSignal market scanner, which is browser based. I've never used it, but I've heard some good things. http://www.esignal.com/scanner Depending on the options, it costs between $49 and $79/mo if you're not an eSignal data subscriber, less if you are. It includes...

The beta version can only be accessed from the web page (I think). Go to the IB home page, click the Trading System button, click the Getting Started With TWS link, scroll down and click on the TWS Beta Version link. The link in question is on this page...
