I've used Qcharts for over a month now and so far no complaints. I watch ES, NQ, and SPY.

Markets can ignore reality for a while, but the longer they do, the greater the consequences. Remember the internet bubble? I agree with point man. No doubt the next big move will be down. Doesn't matter for daytraders, does for swing traders and investors.

qcharts has intraday data and charts going back several yrs.

As far as IB goes, I don't know why anyone would trade futures through them. You can get a better commissions, better service and a better a platform from many other firms. Netfutures, FFastfill, Spike and Greentree come to mind. I know their options prices are cheap, and so are stock trades...

I'm sure trading skill is much more important. I made a good portion of my money using dail up with suretrade as my broker. However I have moved on to make my life easier and save on commissions. Looking into a globex terminal for similar reasons. Thank you all for your replies so far.

I recently started trading the eminis thanks in large part to this board. I had not even considered futures until recently, but your posts opened my eyes to the advantages to the eminis. Previously, I had daytraded the ETF's so I just transferred my strategy to suit the emini's and it has been...

Ok my bad. I didn't get the sarcasm. :p

Not to mention the fact that the index is not specified.

Didn't he name four times?

Come on people! If i posted four times during the 6 1/2 hours that the markets are open, what are the chances that one of them would be close to, but not necessarily exact on a turn in the markets? Pretty good I think. Especially when you don't give direction, and are looking at only one day...

Thanks for all the responses. E-minis it is then. No wonder they have taken off in popularity.

What are the benefits of trading the eminis NQ futures versus trading the equivalent full sized ndx futures? Thanks in advance.

Hey ddog, What would you say is the success rate of such a strategy? Have you been doing it for long? Thx

Well put. Honeig was the only one on leaning the right way on thestreet.com at the time he was axed. Even Cramer's boy Todd Harrison was neutral at best. That fact that Honeig didn't feign concern like Harrison always did probably upset them. And I thought good traders weren't supposed to be...

take a corporate finance class, after the basic finance.

Plus, laptops allow you to trade during extended power outages. I have two monitors on a desktop and two on my laptop. Works great. Why would anyone say anything negative on a subject like this?
