I haven't seen the Bridgestation with Reuters news but it isn't very likely at all that it will compare with BB or a professional Reuters platform. Market News International is timely but has less stories (several hundred USDs per month). Need To Know News is an audio newswire that only...

Nothing in the prepared text of the speech...Q & A from 2 economists in about 25 minutes.

I'm not expecting anything but since Bernanke knew how to move the market even a couple of years ago, I'll be listening to the speech and ready to trade. Cheers, TRADERguy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from siki13: Would be possible to bypass negative net interest if i close position on 1655 EST and the reenter on 1705 ? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

About $2,500 a month. This is for a futures prop shop that offers premium services like a nice office (but not your own office, you will be in a big room with many other traders), at least 2 computers and 3 monitors, CQG charts, Bloomberg and Reuters, on site tech support, cable TVs, firm is a...

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I would expect to start at 50% of profits after a desk fee...possibly with a reduced or waved desk fee for the first month or first few months.

2.3 Disney shares for each share of Pixar you own.

I'd use it for the Japanese Yen.

$5.64 per round turn for the lowest volume, unbundled.

Yes, it should be three. If you have the capital switch to futures, liquidity has greatly increased in the last year+.

The multiple days of interest for holding a position over 5 PM on Wednesday is the industry standard. Spot forex is 2 day deliverable (1 day for USD/CAD) so a trade held on Wednesday after 5PM Eastern time has a position on Thursday in the forex world and that means that it will not be...

It's included in the US bundle for free ($10 if you pay less than $30 a month in commissions/fees).

What did IB say?

What about short term trading in a market that you can trade at a different time of the day when you are not working at your day job? Maybe get up early and trade the European/London open. You could trade forex/currency futures, debt, or equities. Cheers, TRADERguy

Another option is to get up early (2-3 am EST) and trade the first few hours of the European markets. You can trade stocks, FX, fixed income, etc. Happy New Year, TRADERguy

Computers, at least ones that run a microsoft OS, do really badly at keeping time. You should try running a timeclock program and have the program regularly synch the computer time to an atomic clock. I have used WorldTime 6 for over a year and have had zero problems since the full release...

That is $5,100 a year in expenses. That will require a 41% "gain" during the first year in order to break even and 65% gain to make the $3,000 return. To state the obvious, it makes things more difficult.

I do keep the old ones...except I parted ways with my old 286 and 386 :) . If I ran the music on a 3rd computer, any ideas on how to get the headline to override the music? Cheers, TRADERguy

I had a feeling that it was going to come down to an external switch. If I can find a switch, anyone have any ideas how I can get two audio signals out of the same computer? If I get a 2nd sound card can I get the newswire service to run on one and have the player playing MP3s running through...

Guys, This is my backup computer. As I stated in my first post, the only thing that runs on it is the newswire service.
