Sure -- but not publicly, as this likely will spawn a discussion about the value of investment newsletters or services and get folks dragged into a pissing match no matter how one may read or incorporate them into their trading or investment strategy. If I remember to log in later I'll PM...

Just wanted to say thanks for this journal thread -- it's been a while since I dabbled in options having made the move to futures last year, but recently started doing some more options activities to support my longterm portfolio, and it's been handy reading your items as part of my efforts to...

Great analysis - I am only exposed to oil via a hunk of OXY shares in my longterm retirement account but want to give you credit for debunking some of what's shown on TV as "investing advice" for those retailers and amatuers who don't do their homework and want simply to know what to buy or...

Go with OXPS. For options, they have a great platform and outstanding customer service. Been there over a year and recommend them for options!

Perhaps ProTA or Stox? Neither is real-time, but I am starting to use Stox for my long-term equity portfolio.

cool, sounds like there's a few of us in the area, anyway. :)

As in the State of MD or some software/broker called "MD" ? I am in DC...

I've turned off the TV during the trading day -- got to be a major distraction for me and I've become a better trader....besides by the time the news hits TV or a website or an RSS feed, the market's already made its move[1]....so price/vol data really is what matters. That said, I always...

Don't know -- surprisingly I don't think they have posted the release notes for what's been changed/fixed/added in this version.....but I think they did fix one of the indicators I was playing with, which is helpful and to their credit. :)

I am so sick of some of the people here bashing other folks' methods or systems for one reason or other -- there are too many folks posting about how "it's too simple", "it's too complex", "he's an arrogant pig", "he sold his system and it's now commercialized" or whatever. Whether you're a...

The choices are limited in how they're phrased. There may be some quality free sites out there, but IMHO the best trading info I've received thus far has been from free sources - blogs, seminars, webinars, and my own readings, to include some threads on ET. Is there a ton of crap here? You...

*snickers* Absolutely brilliant. Good one!

Yahoo's had red-green numbers for a while now. It presented the illusion of realtime quotes, but was just the delayed data being 'streamed' and constantly updating on your screen. I have no idea how that differed from the fee-based realtime data they offered, though. So no, you're not...

Got this when logging into my OXPS options account this morning: "The OCC has lowered the automatic exercise threshold for equity options from .05 to .01 beginning with June expiration. " First I've heard of it, so I thought I'd pass it on to others.....

While I always question whatever's presented on TV as 'financial journalism' I must admit that I feel Bloomberg at least provides facts, data, and pretty decent commentary & analysis instead of sensational cheerleading, constant hype, and glitzy special effects that pander to the retail trader...

Though you have to wonder -- when CNBC has a permanent orange bug on the screen with the oil future listed, and when they have a bug on the bottom of the screen during their primetime shows, and when they do a one-hour "CNBC Special" on oil.......it does make you feel like we're nearing a top...

Gainskeeper at OXPS is only like $25 or $30 a year....I paid for it a few months ago myself. That's barely a commission or two and shouldn't be a big deal.......?

Books will help, sure. Websites and chats like this can help, too. Best thing is to park yourself @ the screen and watch the tape/charts to see what happens and what the relationships are, and when/how they occur. Think of it as "market flight time" -- it won't come in a day or week, but...

I'm running an iMac 24" purchased at the end of February. I have VMWare Fusion running XP and software from Open ECry as my futures broker....no problems!

maybe try an individual plan thru Carefirst --- been with them for years and had rather good coverage...
