Yes, i trade the QM during the day. Besides the .025 tick size it is ok for a mini contract. ok volume. what do you want to know?

MetaStock has something called the Explorer that works similar to watchlists but you either run it on local data or on online data. It has some shortcomings but works well once you get used to it. You can always setup realtime alerts with your broker if you want more proactive notification...

QuoteCenter is pretty decent. I haven't had many problems with the data side but the news feed tends to be slow compared to other real time news services. Like you said, it is included for free so you can't complain too much about the news features. MS Pro is a great product all the way around...

I used Lind Plus for a couple of years. I found the service and responsiveness of the brokers to be pretty good but the pricing was expensive in my opinion and the software trading platform they provided was weak. I have not used them since 2006.

There is some interesting action today. Up almost 7% as of mid-day. Is it just ag-fever across the board or what? Any idea what is fueling the sugar rally today? It was flat this morning and last night after the refinery fire in Savannah.

I would very upset if I got stopped out in that. If it was just one position with 30 contracts bought at 90.30 it resulted in over a $20,000 loss in less than a minute. Ouch! However, if I had to buy 15,000 barrels of oil all at once I would be trading 15 CL's or WTI's instead of QM. Much more...

Yeah, better lucky sometimes than good I say. I actually only caught a small piece of it around 89. You would have had to have a limit order to sell at exactly 90.30 to have made much. I suspect that the 30 contracts traded at that price were mostly buy stops. I am just glad I was on the right...

I noticed this too and actually got filled on a sell limit order during this spike. It did not appear on the CL or WTI though. I looked at the time and sales and for some reason prices skipped up from 88.60 to over 89 in just one or two very low volume trades. Then the next trade printed...

Check out the OQO model 2. I use it when I am out of town and it is very impressive so far. I can run real time apps like IB TWS and it keeps up fine. I have used it to make trades when I am in the car (not driving of course). Also, you can use it to network with a laptop if you want to setup...

I donated in December too and still support him. He is trying to spread his message to as many people as possible regardless of the outcome of the Republican nomination. That is to be commended because an idea will live longer than any person ever will. Also, he could be testing the waters to...

Sorry to say but this was inevitable and is old news also. I am glad that ICE bought NYBOT because I get much better fills on the electronic platform than I did in the pits. I will not miss them at all.

I didn't think anyone still thought he had any... why, did you put money into this stock based on his recommendation?

That point is being overlooked for political reasons obviously. I say let the market take care of the situation and let things go as they will go. Govt. bailouts are not going to fix the problem and keeping people in houses they could not afford in the first place solves nothing. For the ones...

You think that a Giuliani presidency would keep the balance of power in check??? You should do more homework on him. I read a book called Fortune's Formula (excellent book btw) and here is a quote from Rudy on his definition of "freedom" - "Freedom is the willingness of every single human...

I think this has already been debunked and is old news actually. There is clearly a D/C logo to the left of the coin which stands for Daniel Carr Designs, the company who made it. Check out this article: http://www.amerocurrency.com/turnerexposed.html

Oh well, it turns out this story was a little fabricated. http://www.dealbreaker.com/2007/11/breaking_news_most_important_s.php#more Guess more dollar selling is on the way...

I don't personally know any brokers on the floor. I do almost all of my trades electronically and the softs were the only contracts that I still traded in the pit. Also, the NYBOT gives floor brokers a 5 minute window once your stop is triggered to fill the order. That is an eternity in a...

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for managing stops in NYBOT pits. Yesterday there was some unusual activity about 5min before the close. Looks to me like a classic dump at the end of the session to trigger stops and buy back after the liquidation. I took a 1.5 cent slip on some...
