there. Some deep San Francisco House Music works for me too. :) Mike

I have emailed them twice about this and both times they said that futures were not in the plan. That is why I dropped them.

try tradesignal. I believe you can draw support/res lines and even fib lines on it. mike

40 nasdaq points = 1 QQQ points. 40 nasdaq futures points x 20.00 per point = 800.00 = 800 shares of QQQ. trading 1 emini is the equivalent of trading 800 shares of QQQ. It may not alway work out to exactly that at any SINGLE moment, as they each have theer own demand supply pressure...

well, case in point. Just as I wrote the above, the following happened on the nqs (look at a chart for 8/8/01 starting at 13:45) In five minutes it went from 1685 to 1670, and then BAM, it fell all the way to 1650. Now this last one may be a bad print, but I was setting here watching it and...

my 2 cents here... You may have deep pockets but be careful with this. The emini s/p and naz are great trading products, but they move fast, real fast. The naz can hit air pocket coming out of a support and resistance tight range and move 6-10 point in a minute. At 50 contracts on the...

I actually use Quicken and have for over a year. They are excellent except for one thing...no futures quotes, which is what I need. Mike

Thanks much! BTW, what has happened to quote.com? Are they out of buisness or is my computer just not picking them up? Mike

Wondering if anyone has used InterQuote and how it compares to eSignal. It's quite a bit cheaper. I'm really looking for a cheap, scaled down, reliable emini quote and chart. Don't need anything fancy on the chart either. For some reason, I can no longer get the free feed off of Quote.com...

Just to clarify, If I rack up 500.00 in commish, then J trader is FREE? And if I don't, then it's 500.00 per month? The round trip fee is tempting, but my style is not five RT's a day. I think that would encourage a lot of overtrading on my part. Thanks, Mike

Thanks for the reply! Have you or anyone else had experience with both of these and could compare TWS to J trader. Or, if you prefer, since I know a little about TWS, what do you or anyone else like and dislike about J trader platform. Mike

I am looking for the viewpoints of experienced emini traders with regards to PATS J Trader platform vs Interactive Brokers TWS. I would like to hear all viewpoints with regards to the technology and the brokers. Especially, some of the small brokers who use the J trader platform and from...

Thanks for the reply fellows. Best, Mike

zboy and all, You seem to have a pretty good handle on this, so excuse my ignorance. You seem to be saying that you can cross by basically going with a market order and lifting the outside offer, but not by going limit order higher than the outside offer. Correct or not? The Nasdaq...

Here is the question: With regards to crossed and locked markets, I am hearing two absolutley opposite things. I would appreciate some insight from some people who really understand this. The Nasdaq order handling rules specifically state that orders cannot be crossed. That is, someone...

doz, Thats fine. I don't care if you sell a black box FX system, though im a little confused because you say "I just wonna let folks know that forex is NOT a short term vehicle" and you also state "It's probably true that the money in forex are made intermediate to long term, and my blackbox...

Well. to answer your questions... 1) How do you know how many trades are coming and going? There is no Time and Sells. You see a couple of things when you look at the screen...You see the depth of the book/market...very similiar to a level 2 screen....and you see the prices change...you do...

With regards to MatchbookFX, I believe you clearly do not understand the system. The spreads are quoted at 5 pips almost as a "worst case" scenerio. The market acts just like an ECN. You are more than welcome to bid or offer inside those quotes. You can act as market maker or taker. It is...

The storing on globex makes since. If anyone else has experience, I'd love to hear it. Best, Mike

I know the stops problem with IB has been beaten to death, but I have a somewhat different question: Has anyone had any problems with stops while trading Futures. I'm thinking of opening an account with to trade the eminis, but this is pretty important not to be cleared up perfectly. Best...
