    purpose of series 7

    Velocity Trader DAX Journal

    Mark, do you put stops in after you enter? I realize you probably don't use them to intentionally take you out of a trade as you probably exit from price action feel, but do you use them for protection in case of a sudden price surge which you might not be able to catch "by hand"?

    Does the DAX contract rollover occur at the same time the ES/NQ do? Should I currently watch the December or March DAX?

    Same here. Even if it came back up now, not sure I'd trust it right away. Sigh.

    eSignal ActiveX prob

    It may very well have a bug, or the bug may be related to a Win2K service pack. Either way, let me understand you in this regard, you say you are not registered to use the API, you are not paying the $20/month extra for the API, yet the API works perfectly for you when you are running Win98...
