This is a normal return and most traders on this board average 30 to 40% a week. Assuming you started with $1000 you should have somewhere around $1,257,494,424.58 at the end of the year. But that's before taxes.

I don't see any mention of commissions or fees on this site. Does anybody know what they are? Thanks

Hi, Just wondering where you are sending your SPY orders. I seem to be getting pretty bad fills as of late. A lot of times I get put in the NYSE book and never get hit at my limit or get a medium to bad fill. Other times I miss my price on Instinet when it seems I should have been filled. And...

Hi, What's the best way to fund an account? And how easy is it to withdraw money? Thanks

Okay, since you're on the straight and narrow, let me say the same thing in more black and white terms. If the market is slow or boring and doesn't seem to present any opportunities to a particular trader, what is wrong with them taking a break and doing something light while they rest their...

Good point. Heaven forbid you have any fun at what you are doing. That could really destroy your trading abilities.

Hi, Can you please elaborate? Thanks

I use Matrox cards and they work well, but have a very annoying bug. They often cause the open windows to disappear when they should be on the taskbar. Matrox tech support is quite bad so they have been little help with this persistent problem. If I am not mistaken, they use software to redraw...

Just wondering, why not trade the EUREX when it opens instead of the ES in the middle of the night?

I notice that the people responding with the opinion that options are a fine vehicle to make money with are not taking into account how much more they could make if fair business practices existed in the options markets. If you trade options with frequency and get a good look at what is...

Not sure what you mean by that. I'd like to pay via credit card in USD if possible.

I checked with esignal and they say they only update their volume once a day. Who currently are the best data providers for EUREX? Thanks

Hi, Although I don't trade the e-minis, I get esignal realtime data and it seems to me that the vast majority of the volatility is during normal US market hours (or maybe 15 minutes past). Sometimes there is volatility outside of that time, but it seems to me that time spent watching the...

Is there really a lot of trading of ES or NQ that is worth doing after hours? Isn't a lot better to just trade the ESTX50, other European issues and FX?

Some brokerages will allow you to run the demo for one to three days. This is the real tick platform with realtime quotes but demo orders that are not for real money. You will get amazing fills that would not happen in the real markets.

I know next to nothing about currency trading, but it seems as though you are immediately behind three or more ticks upon execution. There is no buying the bid or selling the ask. I'm wondering how easy it is to overcome 4 ticks per trade when daytrading. I also have no experience with good...

Hi, IBM models can be very picky in the memory they need. Some possibilities are: 1) incorrect memory type for his machine 2) memory incorrectly inserted 3) the bios could be incorrectly set for that RAM 4) his machine may require PC100 memory 5) the two memory types are...

I see CINN (ISLD) on level 2 today.

Hi, I love esignal, but there are some problems with the coding. One glaring problem I've encountered is that when you have the application spread out over multiple monitors and you maximize one window you cannot go back to the original window configuration. Each window you make active now...
