Correct. We are supposed to get a software update this weekend and be able to trade them next week.

17 charts on two monitors running on an old p.o.s. computer, while my new one is being built, and I don't have any problems. Have they already had you completely uninstall the program and java and then reinstall?

Clearly you have never dealt with risk managers if you are surprised by this. They are almost always measurably underpaid, relatively inexperienced in trading, and are only listed to when senior management find it convenient. In some cases they are actually used as risk maximizers, as in how...

What is the point of posting every 1 tick or 1 point scalp? Do you think it helps your scalping to post them? Other than filling the journal with a huge number of pages, I don't see the point. Am I alone in wondering about this?

The futures currently show a gap up of 7.25 in the SPX and 27.5 in the NDX. I'm not sure I would call that "barely in the green." Hey B1S2, do you see anything in the divergence in the 60min now?

Sure is a lot easier to make money when you know where they want to close it. 8 out of the last 13 closes at basically the same price.

My standard answer: The CBOE, redoption, and optionscentral websites have a lot of info. Also you can download thinkorswim software and use their Analyze page to graph out various scenarios. Natenberg and McMillian are a couple must reads. My advice is for you not to trade options until you...

For those who may have Vista and want to turn off some things to make it a little less annoying: http://www.blackviper.com/WinVista/servicecfg.htm

The main reason for the last release was to introduce options on futures to the system and test them. They are in their final stages of testing with the exchange and if nothing unexpected comes up they should be ready the week of April 21st - they never make big changes during options...

No one should upgrade (or in many opinions, downgrade) to Vista unless they have specific reasons/needs to do so, know what they are doing to properly disable the cumbersome items in Vista, and have a new relatively powerful computer. You have none of those requirements. Stick with XP.

You are kidding right? Do you know nothing about computers?

What's the problem? You know where the ES is going to close. 6 days and counting.:eek:

But you are overlooking the power of negotiating if you trade and have money. Net with interest and commissions I have as good (if not better) a deal at TOS as I would with IB. But you are correct in pointing out the advantage of no surprise margin changes at TOS. TOS advertised rate for...

Well JW, that’s a lot of questions, I'll see if I can help. I don't have a forex account there but with a futures account with TOS your money gets moved back and forth to a Penson GHCO account. The problem is they have an arcane way of moving unused money back to your securities account...

According to the release notes "Please note that trading options on futures will not begin for approximately another two weeks," the key word being approximately. They still have to works out some bugs, cost details, and margin. Two weeks from today is the start of April expiration week and...

Not that many here can afford it, but after a little research I would answer my own question and say that the new 30" NEC MultiSync LCD3090WQXi may be the only properly functioning 30" monitor. It is brand new so a little too early to tell, but it looks promising. During my search I was...

Speaking of 30" monitors, does anyone know of one that actually works well and does what it should? The 3008wfp is reported to have some serious backlight bleed through, the Gateway xhd3000 has reported intermittent blackout issues and very slow input lags, and the Samsung 305t has no HDCP support.

Thanks Gnome and Tums. Maybe I should give up my old ways and think about multiple widescreens. We've come a little ways since my first computer, an Atari 400 with membrane keyboard and a cassette tape for storage.

Any recommendation for a good 20 inch monitor, non-widescreen? I have been waiting to see if Dell introduces a 2008FP with HDCP but nothing so far. I was thinking of buying four, is there a high quality 20" you can recommend?

ST, Globex closed until Sunday night after the close today. Everyone else, just ignore dmartin, he just lurks here until he finds an opportunity to criticize, he seems to live for just that.
