Who has a decent, reliable user-friendly platform w/rock bottom commissions? What is the lowest r/t futures commission offered out there? many thx

I described all the options with the thoughts that actually go through my head. But in reality, I know the right answer, for me anyway, is #2. I believe I have to transcend the psychological barriers to trading success. This is a must. If the markets change and my systems require tweaking, sure...

Ok, it's a really good trading day. Smooth curves, no chop, high volatility, lengthy trends. You are up 3% on your trading acct, just today, hitting 100% on all your trades. 11:30 et hits and you take your lunch break, normally returning at 2:00pm et. Do you: 1. Quit for the day. That's...

Here they are, ranked by liquidity. Pls advise if I have missed any good ones (* = has options): GLD - Gold *(tracks gold) *DBA - powershares AG (corn, wheat, soybeans, sugar) *USO - US Oil fund (tracks light sweet crude oil) SLV - Silver (tracks silver) RJA - agricultural total return...

I'd like to know what the collective experience of ET has to say about the best hybrid trading approach for all market conditions. I'm thinking along the lines of combining option spreads, daytrading, pairs trading, commodity spreads etc. For example, during a downtrend, employing a...

final followup: various options fit the bill w/DVI & VGA output, here's a hi performance card suited for this model: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814150247

got my computer. in one regard, I got screwed. I was not aware that the video card disabled the onboard VGA. So I have a video card with a DVI and S-video output. Since I use dual monitors, I have to get a video card with 2 vga outputs. I don't even know if this is poss with the small form (pci...

What I'm getting at is how much capital you can daytrade with, day in, day out thru hi/lo volume periods and still get filled. When do the quality of your fills suffer? Will a 50 contract order get filled all at once? Do you use FOK orders? many thx

I snagged this am -it seemed like a better deal than the current T3400-did I miss anything? many thx XPS 210 Small Form Factor: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6700 (4MB L2 Cache,2.66GHz,1066 FSB) GK069 Certified Refurbished 3E476 No Speakers 54981 NTFS,File System 90729 Windows Media...

p.s. I know there is a number to check status of halts but I am still interested in an instantaneous montor: United States and Canada 866-9-GLOBEX or 866-945-6239

How do you know that the CME has actually gone down and it is not a problem with your platform? I asked TOS and they said they send a notice, but it is not instantaneous. If I knew the exchange was down, I would hedge the position beyond the stop with options. My game plan is to place a...

I called both firms: LPL: unable to speak anyone who can help, placed on several holds, 5min hung up. Raymond James: They don't sponsor newbs The post above asks the same basic question. How does one who swing trades/day trades manage money, with whom, and who has the best...

Of brokers who can sponsor you to manage money, i.e. get the series 7 and 66 licenses, which: 1. have the lowest commissions 2. have the lowest monthly fees 3. have the best all around service (software, reliability, customer serviceetc.) I am referring to brokers who can sponsor to you...

I did some of this research myself lately and am currently looking into Bright Trading, http://www.stocktrading.com. They have about 500 remote traders currently.

Curious what your criteria is for crappy trading days. The following has worked well for me: 1. Stay out 11:30-2:00pm ET 2. 15min volume must> its 200MA 3. Swing volatility: Use the following variables: A=(Max high 15 bars) -(min low 15bars) on 1min time frame B=60MA of A...

thx for the info YT - I have TOS and the AGs and Metals are the only commodities avail w/any liquidity. Of course, it is enough to look after all of these on a daily basis. The commodity trader's almanac shows a bullish bias for coffee and cocoa in Jan so I'd like to trade these if they start...

Hey yt, a few q's for you: 1. Do the commodities trade well next week or is it a sleeper like the equity markets? 2. Who is your broker? How's the commissions & reliability? Do they have comm options as well? 3. Do you ever trade spreads? many thx

watch for wheat tommorrow, topping tail today, may see a day similar to 12/11 with some shorting opps. Be careful tho to place targets within the 30pt limit ie 996.25/936.25. Also I watch soybeans at the same time, often a sync move. good trading 2u. XT

hey YT,nice journal, keep it up.
