    EurexUS, will it work?

    Just a couple of things on this subject. I'm a Eurex trader and have been watching Eurex US for a while now in search for the next market. The Russell is coming to eurexus soon. I am consistently in direct contact with the managers here in Chicago and check up with them every other week. er2...

    What does everyone do for streaming news?

    I just installed it again the other day. It shows the java cup on the grey screen for about a minute and then it gives me an X. Thought it might be due to a firewall, but I tried it from home over DSL without any routers in between and it gives me the same thing. Kinda disappointing.

    What does everyone do for streaming news?

    Has anyone gotten their NTKN to work with the java applet? Mine keeps crashing on my home as well as my office machine dedicated to such services. Anyone testing the service as we speak?

    where did u all learn how to trade?

    I think most of the replies provided here are useful to the original poster and serve the purpose of this website. If "those who know do not speak" applied in trading, then there would just be post after post of just :D and then a reply would be :confused: and then someone would post :eek...

    What does everyone do for streaming news?

    Hmmm..... (scratching my head)... that seems like a bold remark considering that many here are position traders. It would be rather shortsighted not to pay attention to news if you scalp, trade intraday swings or have an intermediate (1 wk) time horizon. To each his own.....

    What does everyone do for streaming news?

    Jeeez, you guys. It just seems that people posting often times only see things from their own little microcosm. News is unimportant if you are a position trader or swing trader holding positions for hours, days or weeks. However, other traders such as myself scalp a lot of volume and we don't...

    Any trader From Italy?

    Are any of you US citizens living and trading in Italy or another Eurozone country? If so, how do you handle taxes? Are they higher/lower than US taxes (fed, state, local) for your income bracket? How difficult was it to get the papers necessary to work there? Any info would be appreciated.

    You website says that European coverage is coming soon. What is the ETA on that service?

    Andy... when did you start this service. When I was shopping for myself, I didn't come across your name.

    What does everyone do for streaming news?

    I use Trade The News at www.tradethenews.com. It is a streaming live audio feed over the internet that starts at 8:00 AM easter and stops at 4 PM. They are very fast with economic releases as well as earnings releases, equities up/downgrades, etc. The service is pricey but I found that for...

    where did u all learn how to trade?

    I learned at a prop firm that promised training, etc etc (lies). I think it was key for me to be in a prop situation because even though there was no formal training (I ended up doing their training program for them when they were supposed to train me), I think the experience of being with other...

    Trading with Market Profile

    Thanks. I have a lot of patience while trading. My butt is sore from sitting here and reading ET posts on various things. Ran out of patience staring at the screen so long. The link is great. I found this... kind of heavy reading but I think it has what I'm looking for...

    Trading with Market Profile

    I have tried to be patient enough to read through the whole thread to find any recommendations for a website or reading material, but this is not happening. I'm a scalper and am considering adding Market Profile to my arsenal to come up with my own support/resistance levels. I currently use JS...

    UK Scalpers

    Yeah... I'm sure one can get in and out of 200 contracts. But, again, this thread is about scalping and statements like this might be misleading.

    UK Scalpers

    Are you saying that you can trade 200 lots in the FDAX? I don't believe you are right. You would get killed on most days. It is not a product that can absorb that kind of size unless you don't mind taking massive hits like Paul Ritter does or unless you are spreading it against something...

    UK Scalpers

    Has anyone dropped Trade The News for something else recently? I have been considering dropping these guys lately. If you have dropped them, did you replace them with someone else? TTN doesn't cover European numbers. They come on at 7:00 AM Chicago time and cut off after earning announcements...

    UK Scalpers

    DAX started the year out with a big bang. As the year progressed, things were good but the execution at Eurex consistently went downhill here in Chicago. There is still plenty of money to be taken out of this market. Unfortunately, because I keep getting late fills and confirmations, I am...
