then there's the promise of this... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article3689881.ece so much for latency

Just saw this...when you say "a select few weighted stocks controls the index" do you mean the top 15 to 20 stocks based on market cap --- e.g., xom, ge, msft, and so on?

Ditto here for "no problems". I've found Bracket Trader to be pretty sweet. As for IB...well, that's another discussion.

Yeah but...but...but...why should GS give a shit about Joe Trader's one-lot stop at 88?

How do they do that, though? No "market makers" in futs -- at least in the classic sense....

Agreed....I've had to work really hard to purge myself of all "hunches"....still not entirely there, but working on it

I'm not sure I follow...you shorted at 26.5?!

personally, i'm not keen on shorting hank paulson...

so, is it worth it? what charting do you use?

to eSignal's credit, the customer support guy with whom I spoke seemed attentive and promised to get to the bottom of the errant-SPY tick mystery right away. we'll see...

Correct.

it's eSignal data. i don't have their charts. and the errant ticks weren't present on TradeStation's data

TradeStation's data is, in my experience, quite excellent. It's their charting that sucks donkey's balls
