From the Hindu Bhagavad-Gita: “Be intent on action; not on the fruits of action. Perform actions, firm in discipline, relinquishing attachment; Be impartial to failure and success.”

Just saw this post on the eSignal BB, posted 11-13-03. Hope the year-end estimate for the addition of the Osaka exchange holds.

With IB as a broker and eSignal as a data feed, how can I trade the N225? As far as I know, IB only offers it on the Osaka stock exchange, and eSignal only offers RT data for N225 on SIMEX. Anyone solved this? sax

Thanks, trader42. Tradekeeper looks interesting (and the price is right, for sure!).

If you are using RefcoXpress, you can place orders online for pit traded contracts as well as electronic contracts. Although Refco Pro has a lot more bells and whistles, I believe you can only use it to trade electronic contracts.

Does anyone know of a better accounting package than Tradelog? I've been using Tradelog for 2 years now. Considering the rather high expense (especially the $175 annual maintenance fee) combined with the rather high incidence of errors (just got a bunch today AFTER I installed the latest...

It always says that, no matter what. I suppose it would still say that if IB went out of business.

I think the after hours limits are 50 pts for ES, and 65 pts for NQ. So there's still plenty of room to push 'em, if you guys want to do some more buying. :) (Where's my helmet...)

Gordo, I suggest you read the US News cover story from last week, "The Saudi Connection -- How billions in oil money spawned a global terror network" before you make that prediction official. http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/031215/usnews/15terror.htm sax

Read my mind...

3:08 CT everyday lately.

I still think the IB/Refco combo is a good idea in case of emergency. Suppose, for example, the whole US internet where to go down (terrorist attack or something). Presumably, if the telephones were still working, I could get on the phone and lay off my futures positions with pit traded...

FYI: I received this reply from REFCO. There is not set commission schedule. For new customers we start them at $15 plus fees for open outcry markets and $10 for electronic. After reviewing your accounts monthly statement we see there is sufficient volume we can hopefully lower the rate...

Brother Gordo, Don't you think atheists are just as guilty of blind faith as theists? Both claim an unprovable truth. Why not just acknowledge the unknown as unknown. The rest comes from evil. sax

I was not expecting discount rates. Just hoping they were not too exhorbitant.

U.S. Says Six More Children Die in Afghan Attack By David Brunnstrom KABUL (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Wednesday six children and two adults were killed in a U.S. attack in southeastern Afghanistan (news - web sites), the second incident in less than a week in which children...

Does anybody know what REFCO charges "per trade" for ES contracts (like IB is $2.40), just for example? Their rates seem to be a closely guarded secret (I wonder why). I have an account with IB, but I'm thinking of using REFCO for a backup. I'm sure REFCO is higher, but if I don't make...

Guess you guys missed the point of my original post. I was not suggesting that war could be without casualties, including civilian casualties. It is the kiss-butt incompetence of the US commanders (as reflected in the colonel's statement) that causes me to think that these guys are bound to do...

Nine Children Among 10 Dead in U.S. Afghan Raid KABUL (Reuters) - Aircraft from the U.S.-led military force killed nine children in an attack in the south of Afghanistan (news - web sites) on a "known terrorist" responsible for the deaths of two road contractors, the military said on...

Hmm...that "internet level network failure with a major NYC gateway" didn't keep somebody from trading like there was no tomorrow for a few minutes.
