I had a similar question for end of day data on s&p 500 companies how much slippage should you expect if you are just using MOC or MOO opens? Also, how big of size can you trade without experiencing increasing slippage? Thanks

I think what they are really trying to say is that if you trade anything to much it can get expensive.

On CQG you can do that.

Commisions for big traders are so minimal that it isn't a factor. The smaller tick size is. I think that I heard somewhere that they were going to the dime ticks in the mini's. Anyone else heard that?

Both no jeans and you must wear a collared shirt. Merc you have to tuck in that shirt, not at that CBOE. Don't think ties are needed anywhere.

I like theidea about hiding your P&L from yourself. I think that I might try to do that. It does affect my trading. Profit vs risk seems like a much better measure than percentage. Whiel my equity has goneup many multiples, my size hasn't. Part of this is I didn't really realize how much...

Thanks for all of the helpful replies. I'm glad to know there are more than to companies in the business thanks to the PM's. As opposed to who will let me do it, what kind of commissions, fees, etc, are they offering? Just ball park rates would be great. Having not traded stocks, I really...

I appreciate all of the replies. It is nice to know that I'm not alone in what I'm experiencing. I like all of the suggestions to do something "other" in the middle of the day. I have thought about it before. I find it hard thought. As I'm getting ready to leave I keep seeing these trades...

I forgot to mention I don't have an active series 7 is that required? I take it being on a Merc seat isn't an alternative?

I was wondering what kind of clearing deals do people have these days. I don't have a series 7 so not sure about prop. Can people who don't actually trade options access these deals? I trade soley indexs at the Merc.

I'm intermediately experienced futures trader looking expand my strategy to stocks. Everyone talks about firms for Newbies, but what kind of firms are offering good deals for more experienced traders. I need to trade remotely. I don't need much in the way of training other than how the...

I just got back from a 2 week vaction where I traded very little, 2 hours instead of the normal 8-9. I never realized how much energy trading takes out of you. It doesn't seem that bad while I'm sitting there, but when I get home I just crash. Anyone else experience this?

I think that the obvious answer is NO, it isn't worth it if you have to ask. That said between TT and CQG that is around what I pay for a year. If you are experienced enought to really know how to use them, you would already know the answer to your question. But people have different...

Not sure about them now. I interviewed with them ~3 years ago, seemed like an arcade/chopshop My perception, I never worked there, no facts to back other than they were offering high commisions, 1.25 a side or so, and pushing scalping. On a more recent note I ran into a guy in my...

I jus tcreated a repeating macro that copy and pastes teh data. I don't reall do anything after that.

I know that most people won't agree, but I do very well with "adding to a losing position." It all is what works with your specific trade. It seems to give me a much higher win/lose ratio, just the Lose IS MUCH BIGGER!!! than other wise. I usually end up with one bad day a month, which takes...

It is unreal how slow there service has benn. I have had a "ticket" for them to look into it for over a week. I ahve taken screen shots for them multiple times, tried pressing different buttons. It is like they want me to Beta test it for them. They don't seem to see it as urgent.

Not sure what you want me to elaborate on. I trade upstairs at the CME. From what I know my orders never leave tto the internet. I think that I have a direct line to my clearing firm, which has a direct line to the exchange.

x trader 6.14 I'm at teh exchange and I'm getting the problem.

Anyone else having problems with there TT? It seems to be displaying awhole in there e-mini data from time to time. I just seem to be getting the run around from them.
