Even though day trading takes a lot of time, it is easier to make real money with it (my opinion only). I am talking about 100% a year plus. What day trading allows you to do is go though a cycle of trades much faster than position trading, this allows you to react to market changing conditions...

Let's go back to trading.

Absolutely. What one has to do with another. We are here to discuss trading. Ed is a proven master trader, that says it all, even though I was very surprised when I learned about his bankruptcies.

Hi Laocoon, What type of issues does Eurex had on Friday and hoave today? Thanks, redduke

Very interesting. I wonder what would have happened on comex a month or 2 back when Silver decreased by $2 within 5 minutes and went limit down, if these new rules were there. Some people probably do not realize how volatile these markets can get on instance moments. For example, not many...

Do not hold your breath. I did the same around January and was told 3 months. I think it is their favorite response. I am not sure what the issue is, but it sure not technological. I like e-signal, but would love to have another equivalent option. I mostly trade Eurex products, and it is the...

Ouch, that's bad. I use e-signal for DAX and DJ Euro stoxx, so far no issues. I only trade Europe morning hours.

Thanks a lot guys, I did not realize I needed plug ins for that. I am very impressed by the platform.

I took a look at x-trader and found it to be very good. It has tons of functionality, but I could not find one very basic feature and documentation has nothing on it as well. I currently use NinjaTrader and when I enter an order, I have a predefined number of ticks for stop loss and take...

Big boys fighting other big boys, us small retail traders should not worry much about it. Once you make it big or on your way there, that is when you start worrying about this stuff and planning how to deal with it.

I am going on Sunday. they are having Jack Schwager as one of the speakers. I really want to get a chance to talk to him.

FXCM is having the show this weekend in Hilton Hotel.

Just looked at daily volume for dj stoxx, it is pathetic, 3,200 traded today. Not worth the time at all. DJ euro stoxx traded 1.2 mil contracts today, this definitely picks my attention.

I di not realize that he went bankrupt. Sucks when you hear that people like him manage to loose it after all these years.

some people have too much free time.

Chriz, I figured that euro stoxx must be better to trade since the other one is rarely mentioned. Do you know by any chance the index symbol for dj stoxx? Might as well take a look at it since I have a feed. The fee is not even “peanuts”, so does not matter. DAX got so volatile these...

Chriz, Thanks a lot. That did the trick. It did not occur to me that I needed additional feed. I did not have this issue with DAX. Do you know what is the difference between dj euro stoxx 50 and dj stoxx 50 futures? I tried looking it up in eurex website, but there is not much info there...

I did try it. There is no symbol for cash index there. Like I said, I also called them, and they could not find it themselves. I was told they will get back to me.

Thanks. I tried $SX5E-STX (also found it on e-signal central). It does not display anything for intra day.

I did. They still researching, and I am not sure when I will get the answer. I figured, I'll ask here since it is a commonly traded instrument.
