    eSignal Eurex feed DOWN

    I agree with you, Esignal is pretty good for some things but after being nickle and dimed to death I got angry and refuse to pay them a dime. The regional fee is what did it for me.

    I totally agree with you 100%. It's definately me, the mkt is too schizo for me at this point to follow. It follows a different set of rules from hour to hour so you can never trust anything. One minute if will follow the dow, the next the nasdaq and the next it follows nothing and leads...

    eSignal Eurex feed DOWN

    I don't understand why people continue to put up with this. Shitty products and increase in pricing. My uncle has had Esignal since Quotrek, I think like 20 years or so and even he has had enough and will be leaving at the end of is contract. There are way to many options to be treated...

    eSignal Eurex feed DOWN

    I don't understand why anyone uses that service. I use IB with Ensign and have not once had a data problem. Yes it's lackign some of the tools but for 45 bucks vs. 225 it's by far a better deal.

    Need help breaking a disasterous habit

    I trade 5 and 10 lots of the minis or 1 and 2 lots of the bigs. When I say I go with the momentum I mean if I see the dax rally or sell off or the dow then I jump in or I watch the charts and look for a turning point or support area and jump in there. I'm not in trades for more than a few...

    It's closer to 70k but without any benefits 70k might as well be 55 which sucks. It's expensive to live, I hold the second job because it's easy and I have all day to do nothing. I think I'm right at the cusp of trading for a living being worth the aggravation and expeses and working these...

    Need help breaking a disasterous habit

    I've never had a negative month and my worst year has been 70k and my best year 150. Seems like I have hit a rough spot and I'm trying to break the habit, this is my reason for posting my tale of woe and was looking for a kick in the ass. I used to get up at 5am and if I didn't make 750 a...

    I trade the overnight, not the day. It's not the same thing. I appreciate everyone's advice, I just need to stop being so stubborn. I just needed to hear it from somebody else. Thanks much.

    "to me a futures contract of 30 stocks that trades 2500 contracts in 10 hours should be closed and obliterated but it's more important than anything else." 5yr- Your reading skills are lacking. You can save your insults, I'm just looking for a little help that's all. If you want to insult...

    Need help breaking a disasterous habit

    Just a little background. I've been trading for almost 6 years and trade mostly momentum and have always been profitable. Anyways, my problem is mornings like today: The S&P has pretty much become a derivative of the dow minis, which trade no volume and the index is pretty much...

    The whole futures mkt is dictated by 2,490 fucking dow mini contracts. What an absolute scam. Sorry to bitch but it pisses me off that the S&P has become a derivative of such a useless contract. I'm done.
