OK so it seems that in order to get a lower commission rate on e-mini's a person needs to trade about 500 or more contracts per month. Other wise a trader is better off just staying with their regular (bundled) rate of $4.80 per round turn. Correct??

Can anybody provide some feedback on IB's futures (ES e-mini's) commissions rates. I trade about 200 contracts a month and wonder if I should be bundled or unbundled or ? Comments appreciated. Ron

Antes, Unfortunately I only speak in English and your site is in French. I guess what I am looking for are options that would (mirror) trade right with emini futures and have lots of volume with narrow price spreads ................and be traded electronically. OEX is not electronic...

Artes, I trade from 1 to 10. However I have not been do much with the options as of late as volume and spreads seem to gotten worse in the last couple of months. :(

Retief and all.......... Very helpful information here folks. Thanks for comments. :)

This is a totally new area for me. I have been dicretionary a long time. However I just want to automate a simple buy at the close and cover (sell) on the open the next day. I want to do this on a stock. Is there a way that the IB TWS will do this automatically? I use Trade Station 8.1...

EDIL, OK ...looks like that's it. Many thanks. I am having no problem getting the Mkt Profile indicator up but so far unable to locate the last bar on chart (function). Thanks Again. :D

FWIW................I have searching off an on for about three days. Here try clicking on your recommended site. http://www.traderslaboratory.com/fo...epts-175-2.html You will find MP is no longer available. I don't want to try and piece together something that others have been trying to...

Thanks omniscient............but they seemed to not have one currently. Searching around and hours turn into days, etc. Yet if some one using TS has a MP indicator they can send the attachment in 1 minute and walla......... I am in business.

I am trying to find a good Market Profile indicator that I can use on Trade Station. Does any body out there have one that I could import. Any and all assistance appreciated. Ron

Does any body out there using Trade Station have an ELS or ELA for Markey Profile that they could share? I would very much like to try out a decent MP indicator on TS. Comments appreciated, Ron

I am thinking about opening a 401 K account with IB. Can anyone take a minute and comment on the limitations and or restrictions for trading stocks from a 401 K at IB? Thanks:confused:

I have been reading books off an on for the last 15 years. Authors I feel I have benefitted from were George Douglas Taylor, George Angell and Barry Haig and also Gary Smith.

Cramer's view: Five days ago we were supposed to sell everything because bond yields soared to 5.21% and the 10-year Treasury traded down to 94.5. Five days later we are supposed to buy everything. Why? Because the bond yields fell to 5.21 and bonds climbed to 94.5. You can't make this...

A few comments on today. I tried OEZFB just once it seemed OK. However the spread was rather wide for the price level. OEZRT seemed OK but slow. However with it's higher price it would move $.30 to $.40 when there was a decent index price move. OEYRQ was fast and really had a tight...

artes, I most definitly find it much easy trading with faster fills and price action in the last week before expiration. Right now the June OEX's in general are more difficult having less volume. Re: weeklies.........no I have not tried them yet. Can you post some weekly symbols?

Jeff, Your input is appreciated. I have been trading OEYRQ mostly today and it has been tough. At one point I bought in and the emini's moved 3 points in my direction and I could not get $.10 in profit and in strong frustration I covered at breakeven. It seemed like the contract had...

I just trade regular calls and puts and sometimes go naked. I am a directional day trader only.

Jeff, Yeah thanks. I have been watching volume fairly closly and FB is doing pretty OK today. I have also started now to look at the RQ as it also seems OK. Ron

Jeff, I am just now reviewing this thread and I was wondering how you are seeing the OEX's currently. I am still trading the monthlies. I haven't tried working with the weeklies as of yet but may give them a try once I find a site where I can get intraday volume. My methods are all short...
