It would be a real toss-up as to who is in the more relentless pursuit of a dollar: commodity traders, or politicians.

Well...there's the fusion thing... But "4 billion a ton" is the mother of invention. :cool:

The New Energy Patch and/or Battleground Reuters: January 18, 2004 Outlining his election-year vision for space exploration last week, Bush called for a permanent base on the moon by 2020 as a launch pad for piloted missions to Mars and beyond. One unspoken motivation may have been...

Lighten up, will ya Ebo! The guy is just trying to gather some information...not do a two-bit hustle on somebody, like you would probably try.

Jay, would you please respond? Thank you, saxon

Same problem in TWS here. But bid and ask is displayed in eSignal RT feed, so I doubt that it is a EUREX problem.

trader56, If you start with only a 1-lot, the ES is not THAT dangerous. But if you would prefer something a little tamer, you might try the 5-yr Trsy Note (ZF), which trades electronically on the E-CBOT. good luck

You can use the "Pricing Calculator" to see what you would pay. It is located at the top of this page: http://www.esignal.com/esignal/pricing/default.asp

Don't be misled by the idea that trading more frequently is better. These 100-lot ES trades that get dumped out 1 tick later are certainly making the broker rich, but not necessarily the trader. The only "super-fast, super-frequent" trading that I would not be suspicious of is arbitrage.

I started my career in futures trading on the floor of the NYFE back in 1982, but later moved to Chicago to trade the S&P. Even in the early days, the vast majority of volume in index futures was going to Chicago. The "knife" still trades (on the New York Board of Trade), but as you can see...

Jay, Can you offer any update on a solid ETA for a fix of the server sync problem? For customers using intraday data, this is a real problem, as indicated positions change (long or short) from one day to the next as inconsistent data is loaded from the different servers. Thanks, sax

I think the inconsistency of data from one session to another has to do with the fact that the various eSignal servers are not perfectly synced. When you first connect to eSignal, you do not always get the same server. Check my recent (Jan 7 '04) eSignal review here...

Hiya fab, Just wanted to let you know that I am "TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY" satisfied with IB. http://www.elitetrader.com/so/?action=view&SR_ProductID=5 :cool: sax

Same thing here. Like a 3-wheeled car with one flat tire.

Down in Chicago.

Anyone not familiar with natural gas should keep this in mind: it is approximately TEN TIMES as volatile as the ES! And thinly traded to boot (in the electronic contract, anyway). No thanks... saxon

I use Wealth-Lab 3.0. http://www.wealth-lab.com/

Great news, Chuck! Thanks, saxon

Chuck, What is the target date for the release of 7.7 ? Thanks, saxon

Chuck, Do you have an ETA on the addition of futures data from the Osaka Securities Exchange (Japan)? I am interested in trading the Nikkei 225 futures contract there. IB offers it for trading, but eSignal does not yet offer RT data on that contract. The Nikkei 225 used to be the...
