About to finish university, I am trying to find a graduate position as a trader. However, my applications to several big banks have all failed. Under such circumstances, can I still start a career in trading? I have some experience in the stock market, but what I am really interested in is...

Hi, Is it possible to get CME Eminis' Depth of Market data at QCharts? Or is it economically more sensible to get such data from your broker? Thanks.

I must admit I would not do the same thing. The risk/reward ratio was not right for me; more importantly, I would never risk all my capital in one go. But then different people see things differently. :D

Hi 40Deuce, Can you please explain in more detail? What is 'CNTR PARTY'? Thanks indeed.

Thanks really for all the information you have provided. It is very helpful.

Thanks.

Hi LongShot, Do you mean that it was very difficult to find out that was not a reversal during that time? :)

Hi, I wonder whether anyone shorted NQ today, 8th April 2004, in the beginning? What puzzles me is, from 11:25 am to 12:00 pm ET, there seemed to be a reversal developing, which caused me to cover my short. Then it turned out to be a retracement only and NQ continued to fall afterwards...

Thanks indeed, progers82, Ebo.

Hi Ebo, Sanjuro, thanks a lot. The links are very helpful. :) I wonder if you know about the book Direct Access Futures: A Complete Guide to Trading Electronically by David Silverman? It seems to have some information I need about E-minis, but there is some negative comments about it at...

Hi progers82, Thanks indeed. Is it all right to tell me the names of the brokers you mentioned? Hi cosmic, Thanks really. Will have a look at Global Futures. Is it a specialist futures broker? Many people I know are with 'big' brokers such as IB. I wonder whether it is better to go for...

Hi, 1. In index futures trading, is there also a PDT restriction? Can I daytrade more than 3 times within 5 business days with an account less than $25,000? 2. Can you please recommend some educational resources for fututres daytrading? I have some experience in stock trading and need...

Hi Sam, I am looking into day trading FX. Does OANDA offer information in market depth, market maker activities ect for FX? I have looked at FXCM and CMC, but could not find similar information in their demos. Or do I need to make specific subscriptions for such information? Thanks indeed.

Hi genegef, Thanks really for your advice. I have indeed considered about index futures since they are very liquid and there is futures depth which is, I believe, similiar to Level II information to some extent. The problem is, the opening hours of CBOT/CME clash with those of NASDAQ &...

Thanks to all of you. :)

Hi, Due to my timetable I am looking for another instrument to trade 24/5. I wonder what I should go for. Up till now I have traded stocks. I am not particularly good with technical indicators, but have found Level II information much more useful. I have heard that FX trading is 24/5...

Hi hoodooman, Thanks. I meant PDT restriction in day trading. Hi Bob111, Thanks indeed. Will have a look. :) Wonder whether there is another broker of this kind?

Hi, I have heard that some US stock brokers allows clients with accounts less than the minimum requirement of $25,000 to trade more than 3 times in 5 days by taking them into the companies' trading umbrellas. How may I find out the names of such brokers? Basically I am looking for a broker...
