For real?

I do not have quit point. I have a regroup point - a lack of funds to trade. I trade futures - if equity dips I find a lower margin commodity and trade back up. I have always been able do do that which I put mind to doing, and this is no different. Never, never, never give up!

I am fully convinced that is as simply as "cut losses, let profits run". This trading is not easy but I think it is easier than we allow it to be; our thoughts and thinking get in the way of our reacting. I keep a trade by trade journal for one account and a daily trade journal for...

Thanks def, I didn't know that.

You get all globex for the 10 mini price. No cash that I know of, as it is not tradeable.

Lose 10 cents on a 1000 shares (or reasonable daytrade stop?) or 3 points on the NQ. The NQ just does it perhaps (then again maybe not) faster with more leverage offered.

How much faster can it get, or do you really need it to get; you enter a market order and are filled in a second? I guess I have never had a globex terminal or something similar so I can not compare. IB (for me) has been great! 1 month and only one disconnect, due to an ISP problem. Market...

Or the DAX. Almost any overseas index should work.

No its not!

I've always had good luck with Qcharts and very few problems with the feed. I would like to see the ability to create tick charts. Backtesting capabilities would be nice also. Otherwise just concentrate on creating a quality feed.

OFTEN!!! While this can be true, in 4 1/2 yrs of futures trading, I have never been in such a position and believe I have seen it maybe once or twice. Thus I would call this happenstance a RARITY! :)

Open an account 2000 Trade NQ 1500 Trade es Just under 2000 These are for day trades.

It is a bucket shop. I played, yes I lost. It was an interesting game. They are betting against you. "commission" costs are high, and change quite frequenly, often 2 or 3 times a week. From a trading standpoint, vrs, using an online platform, not much different. You do not actually trade...

Let me preface this with the following: I trade the eminis and ACE bonds and notes; all futures no stocks. Well I have listened to the complaints for a couple of months but opted to try IB anyway. Only been going a week and am wondering why I took so long to move over to them. All the...

Home-office commodity trader at 20+ trades a week.

For someone with the experience 10 points is not to much to expect. If in fact you are new do not expect this. Expect to learn - and learning is not free.

"or something" is the key here, to many misconceptions floating around. Harddrive, out of that which you mentioned, is all that might, MIGHT, trigger reactivation. If XP thinks its a new computer it will require reactivation. A new video card has not triggered the need to do so. This is from...

Thug life, the performance issue does not surprise me, with the size of XP, and for my work is not really much of and issue. I don't see whether one is 2 seconds or 15 seconds faster at performing a certain task as that important. Both instantly sent orders out and charts update as they should...

Had some lock up problems - sytem would quite responding, no blue screen, mouse just quit, had nothing. After 6 months and noone could find it (yes I had the problem even after fresh install and no other software loaded), I went to XP. And have had only 1 blue screen, trying to make it crash...

Thug life, a computer guy told me the same thing after I installed XP. But as I said I've had good results.
