I dont think its so random any more. The same things keep happening over and over again. The longer I trade, the better I get at spotting them. Its just that there are so many things to take into account at the decision point that it takes a long time to make it automatic. Its pure skill in my...

I dont have anything to compare with but I find the executions at IB to be pretty swift. I almost always get the price I want.

Pabst Thats kind of what I was thinking. I could put enough money in my Datek account and cover with 8 QQQ options. But I know nothing about options. I thought I would want to get ATM options since they would move in sync with NQ and I would only be out the commissions. Maybe somebody with...

Nitro ." If there was only some way to also make it physically healthy as well... " This is possible too. I have a treadmill facing my computers. When the adrenalin gets going I jump on that damn thing and run like crazy. I'm in better shape than I've been in years. :D

I would like to set up a futures account to back up my IB in an emergency. What I would like is an older, well established firm. Commission cost is not an issue as I dont intend to use it much. I only have 5k to do it with. Any recommendations?

This morning I put the government clock on two different computers, one with satellite feed and one on 56k and compared them. The 56k was one second behind the satellite. I then compared the satellite with t&s for the ES and it seems to be right on. However there is no way to be sure how much...

Faction Thanks for the link but how do you know the clock is not delayed?
