I am a very satisfied us er of esignal for > 1.5 years now. I recently signed on w/ a broker that uses Virtual Private network (VPN)_ to connect to their servers. Everytime I connect using VPN, the data manager turns red on me and dies. Any suggestions on how to prevent it. I have resorted to...

Couple of factors to consider. Multi monitor cards probably better solution but more expensive check out colorgraphics, appian and matorx-but more expensive than going with Win 2000 and buying 2-4 single monitor cards. Flat panel looks nice on your desk but picture quality less crisp much...

If they rescued a couple of traders in Greenwich CT (long term capital) there is no way in hell a major money center bank like C is going to fail between Uncle Sam, SIPC, Fed, a couple of Middle eastern oil Sheiks, other money center banks.

Daniel_m. When you say little multiplier you mean tick size as in 1 tick = 10 Euros? I tried trading it and can't make money to save my life. In addition, my whole day is shot since I get up at 2AM. Anywaym I am back to stocks and much more profitable. I can see why that contract is good for...

Hans, how come pointdirex advertises .0035 per shares when in reality ECN fees and routing fees bring it up to around a cent. Ex. buy 200 shares of IBM how much would that cost me? 70 cents or more than that? thanks

Bigtime. I am not affiliated with any prop but how can you equate a pro firm like Echo which has penny per share pricing vs. a retail firm that charges ticket charges plus penny a share. Not a valid comparison.

daniel_m. I agree on most of your points but my question is, if people have to sell their homes due to job loss,etc where would they live - back to mom? What is more realistic in my opinion is a compression of the spread between 'regular people houses" 150k-350k depending on where in US) and...

I got a good number of ideas from the vol scanners at optionclub-put on clanedars that were profitable bet 30-40%ROI except for those 20% that went south bec stocks had huge down moves so from that standpoint it is useful

Several web based apps- not pure scanners like optionvue are ivolatility.com and optionclub.com

Hi Bungrider. SIPC's site says most claims 80-90% gets paid withing 1-3 months. Are you saying that you have experince about someone who didn't get $ around that time frame? Extraordinary circumstances perhaps? Thanks

Check them out with SIPC. If they are members who cares if they are a scam. You will get your money back if they are crooks, catch is you have to wait 2-3 months but for 1/2 a penny, with all things being equal-execution, real direct access. pretty compelling.

Windsurfer: From the description of your trades, it sounds like you are doing volatility dispersion trades which seeks to profit from IV discrepancies between index options and the individual stock options which comprise the index. If you can do that successfully, hats off to you. That is in...

Major reason for possible bubble bursting is interest rate hike so short the bonds? HOw much I guess depends on how much you think your house would get hit. Ex 400K house at 15% haircut is 60K. Hmmm. How many bond contracts should you short to make 60K? ...

Hi Windsufer. When you say QQQ equivalent delta do you mean getting the $ amount of your portfolio and mapping it to qqq? Example - if you are long (as measured by delta) 100 abc and long 100 def and 100 xyz and the total $ amount of these "300" shares is $10,000 do you then equate that...

Hi Gotrader. I read your posts regarding using prem to enter/exit scalps and am a bit confused and need confirmation. When you say that it is a conservative buy when prem compresses to -1 to -.75 do you mean buy the future for a scalp? If you mean buy the stock then I am really confused. Prem...

Hi Newatthis. I agree with most of your posts here such as nx compliance, retail vs. prop., risk issues BUT there are some llc's out there that will let you walk away if you are in deficit. If a 'witch hunt' against prop firms ever materialize along the lines you talk about--i.e. customer in...

Does Amway have bullets?

It is as close to an ECN as NYSE would like to be. For more in depth go to nyse.com and look up nyse direct.

Can we end all of these mindless speculation about nx compliance rules by having one of the main guys from these LLC's confirm or refute these issues. Silence about these issue are somewhat troubling.
