guys just to make sure im talking overnight not daytrading. i heard someone here mention apexfutures.com and how they have low daytrading requirements but what about overnight? im currently with interactive brokers and im not happy about the $6500 per contract for the ym, es, and nq futures. is...

i usually stream my portflio with aol finance and for the past few weeks it just doesnt stream anymore. does anyone know why its not working anymore? thank you

thanks for the info everyone

so i guess these sectors wont have any instruments for me when it comes to high volume futures right guys?

thanks for the info but those will definitely not work. i just typed them in and there is no volume at all for those. i just dont understand how the financial etfs for stocks can be so popular with so much volume but then when it comes to volume on the financial futures theres none? i dont get...

no one knows? i figured the real estate one might not exist with alot of volume but i thought i could find a good financial sector instrument?

thanks rcj, what is the $10 futures symbol for the dow? the only other symbol i know of is indu and thats $25 a point but it looks like it doesnt trade during the day when the dow is open? someone told me it was zd but when i type in zd at interactive brokers nothing shows up?

thanks trading_time!, i got a couple questions. im lookin at the ym right now and the value doesnt match the value of the dow jones stock market? why is that? the ym right now is at 9872 and the dow jones is at 9914. what is the $10 futures symbol for the dow? the only other symbol i know of...
