In the old days people would hand their card to the butler upon calling on someone and they would be announced. It is good to have a calling card with just one's name and phone number on it for social occasions. Sometimes one meets interesting or important people and there is no time or...

OP, One has to be careful with with TS. I owned version3 and have been with them off and on and maintain a small account for ON charting. I would definitely not recommend it as a primary platform. TS is a resource hog and freezes at the worst times and there is menu pricing for the data...

There is loads of cheap material on Ebay and you can resell it when no longer needed. Each vendor's system of teaching is different. Would be useful to get hold of an interactive CD like Kaplan's.

A few years ago I have had a very unpleasant experience with Optionetics. I have subscribed to Platinum on the monthly plan and I have used it for one month after the initial trial period passed and I have canceled it by calling them before the first paid month was over. Well, they charged...

I was in the US Army in 1967 - 1968, stationed in Virginia, hardly spoke English, when there was a major article in Playboy on commodities trading. I was already trading stocks but the article got me started in futures. I am one of 5 remaining charter subscribers to Futures Magazine (used to...

Considering that EUREX products cost about half as much to trade as the domestic there is plenty of room for a little price competition here. Both CME and NYMEX will experience it sooner or later.

It is naive to think that IB is out to screw their customers. IB"s core clientele is 5-6000 active traders like me who would migrate to other brokers in very short order if we noticed irregularities. I have been with IB for six or seven years and quite often I get better execution on...

I have reloaded and it solved the problem. I use the stand alone version.

BTW this is the first time in 6-7 years I have experienced TWS down. I hope it won't happen again for years. I have positions I would like to undo. My back up is TS but I don't keep much funds there so there is only limited hedging I can do.:mad:

correction US fut. data, ESTX50 and DAX are on.

I am not getting futures data at all

They are basically bailing the financial institutions out under the guise of giving relief to the overextended homeowner. GC

SierraCharts, fed by IB data is missing the time period of roughly midnight to 3:30 EST on the eminies for both GLOBEX and ECBOT. The OSE.JPN data stream was complete.

I am also trading ESTX50 and the domestic indices so IB is shifting funds back and forth among currencies as needed. GC

Thanks for all the great info on this thread. Reading this got me interested and I subscribed for the data feed at IB. I even made two quick scalp trades right after the opening today, except I did not realize that I prompted the full contract into TWS and not the mini. Huge...

The Commodities Research Bureau (CRB) has been publishing yearbooks with historical fundamental information. It is a good way to start getting a perspective on long term production and consumption patterns. GC

I traded it on the floor of the NYFE (New York Futures Exchange, division of NYSE) in 83. Ancient history. It was never an active contract. I heard it was merged into NYBOT which was taken over by ICE. GC

I have looked at xhb and considered starting to scale trade it on deep swings into new lows until I realized that bankruptcy of one or several members is a real possibility, so I pass on this for now. GC
