Thanks for the tips. I'll check them out. I tried to do a trial at e-signal, but never got the password from them. I'll give it another try. I haven't looked at Investor RT yet. Thanks again for the input.

I am looking for a charting program that will allow the intraday charting of the difference between one contract and another. For example ES minus NQ, or TF minus YM, or 2ES minus NQ, etc. It would be nice to have moving averages of the pair/spread, other than that, I don't need much. I...

I saw that report too, and she was right on. We need reporters to treat politicians - especially ones like she was interviewing - that way more often. We should expect strait talk from our elected officials, and it almost never happens anymore. The liberal democrats are terrible about this -...

Thanks WinstonTJ. I wasn't aware that DDR3 memory was best in 3's - I thought it was just newer. I guess I had better do a little research and see if I should use DDR2 or DDR3. Any suggestions?

Perhaps I should mention that I would like this computer to be reasonably quiet. The more silent the better, but I don't want to spend a lot of extra money or take extreme measures just to make it quiet.

I am seriously considering building a new trading computer. I will use it to run TWS with less than 20 symbols, and an API with a pretty typical worksheet. Probably about 15-20 charts on 4-8 1920x1080 monitors. I don't care how well the computer functions for anything else. I appreciate...

Thanks for the info Bolimomo. I didn't know that about the driver, so I appreciate the tip.

Mokwit and Bathrobe, Thanks for the tips on the cards. I would like to use failry simple cards, so I guess I better make sure I get a MOBO with plenty of slots.

Yes. I am defenitely in the planning stages now. I guess I am a little confused by the PCIe number. Here is what ASUS says: 2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8, blue) *3 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black) *4 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 2 x PCI I'm not sure what that really means. At this point...

Thanks for the input Bathrobe. That is what I am confused about - whether I can get them to work well together or not. My end goal is to have 6 or 8 monitors, so I am just trying to save a video card (and slot) if I can. Maybe it isn't worth the hassle?

I am considering building my next computer (never done it before). I am looking at an Intel Core i7-3770K processor with an Asus P8Z77-V LE PLUS ATX LGA1155 and probably 16GB of memory. Will I be able to use the onboard graphics to run a couple of monitors and then use a couple of discrete...

Thanks!

Is IB still offering TF? I don't have an account there, and I can't find any info on TF - not listed as a product, not listed for margin requirements. They only show currency stuff for ICE.

Nice data base Stoic. Any suggestions on which contracts/spreads to focus on?

Thanks for the help. So do these look correct for the October contract? WTI Crude: ECLV12 ECL - Light, Sweet Crude Oil(Electronic) Heating Oil: EHOV12 EHO - Heating Oil(Electronic) Gasoline: ERBV12 ERB - Reformulated Gasoline Blendstock (RBOB)(Electronic) Natural Gas: ENGV12 ENG -...

I've traded off and on beginning in 1997 - a few years fulltime, all retail. Initially with a small broker in CA before the internet stuff was readily available, then with an IB account. Initially took outright positions in stocks and evolved to pair/spread trading in stocks and index futures...

I guess that I should mention that I am most interested in contracts that can be traded electronically. Thanks for any help.

I am interested in trading crude oil, heating oil, and gasoline - probably some version of a crack spread. Trying to do a little research at this point. I have to show my ignorance here. Which contracts are actively traded? It seems that CL (WTI) is the most active. I get a llittle...

Right, that is what I paid the securities lawyer for. He prepared the documents stating net worth, income, etc. for them to sign (along with some other pertinent documents for the transactions involved). He felt comfortable that once the docs were filled out and signed I could treat the...

According to my attorney, it is the responsability of the investor to be honest. I did some investing requiring accredited investors, and he said that as long as they filled out the forms he prepared explaining how they qualify as an accredited investor, I do not have any requirement to verify...
