Moderator, There are hundreds of posts just like this from others that have NOTHING to do with trading - why just pick on Hood? What about the other 90% of posts here that are just opinions?

Please, that old "war for oil" and Cheney/Halliburton is just more boorish lib talk. We get less than 6% of our oil from Iraq. You watch too much network news.

Yep - we just ousted the world's most diabolical dictator and his brutal terrorist government so we could enjoy destroying his country's infrastructure...love lib comments like these. Now if one of his terrorists had blown up a building in your city you would blame our government for not...

Obama says he wants to create jobs by investing in infrastructure. What he's really trying to do is build a bridge to France to make it easier for them to take us over.

Mark Haines - "The Liberal Fat Boy" of Marlboro, NJ. Love when he talks about all these lacrosse games he goes to - he wouldn't know a lacrosse stick if it hit him in the face...actually, that's not a bad idea...

The daily volume on ZB looks about the same as YM. I consider YM to be very thin when trading more than 5 contracts. Anyone know what kind of slippage to expect trading ZB with 10 or more contracts? Thanks.

Yes - I was told it just needs to be in the ddoc for the new program (which all prospects would get) but have not confirmed this.

If he is a CTA I think he has to disclose performance of all programs he traded as a CTA in the past - this would be in the ddoc for the "new" program. If anyone knows this for sure please confirm.

Was hoping for a freebie (of course) but would pay if needed.

I'm trying to do a "rough" backtest of a QQQQ options strategy. Is there a way to get options pricing data from several month ago? thanks.

Any hear news on this 8 point drop at 6pm EST?

Thanks - so does that mean you can trade each day with the full 4:1 margin? So that $25k account would be able to trade $100k each day of the week without the 3 day settlement issue?

I trade futures so I'm not well versed on the topic of equity day trading. I have heard of traders using 4:1 margin when they are deemed to be "pattern day traders". Is this so they can trade 100% of their cash each day and not have an issue with the T +3 day settlement rule? So a trader with...

You techncially don't need a track record as long as the disclosure document states that there is no track record. just call the NFA they will answer you questions.

I'm trying to improve my scale outs in the ES. Trading with 3 to 5 contracts and having trouble decing when to take some off, when to move stops, when to get out of runner, etc. Any ideas?

I have not looked at the YM in a while and I was wondering if volume has improved with it moving to globex. Anyone know what the average bid size is these days during peak trading hours? Wanted to look today but thought it would be thinner with rollover. Thanks.

The ES was like this almost everyday in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 - most people have been spoiled by the increased volatility over the past 12 months.

With the new faster "Fios" fiber optics is there any value in paying for a T1?

Couldn't find the thread that mentioned the software programs that would allow you to run two PC's with one keyboard and mouse - anyone have a link? Thanks.

TradeESstar - what is your name in the Felton chatroom? I assume you are in the room in order to get those screen shots of the ATS. Does anyone use Felton to trade the ES?
