Churasan- I just finished three months using NexTrend. There is a symbol lookup feature in the software and I believe that it is at the next to last position on the icon bar. Labeled "S" Also... About the CME cost, yes $60 hurts especially when you add it to the cost you already pay...

Grotte, Way to go! Also, thanks for the advice re the test...that's information I can certainly put to good use. Best regards, Jim

It seems like all we do is bitch and moan about the interface but in reality, once you use it for a while, you'll do fine. And it is getting better. It doesn't have many bells and whistles but hey, we're getting one cent commissions at IB and for that price I have no problem finding a data...

Sorry... Self Regulatory Organization

The first thing that needs to be done is locate a friendly federal judge who will issue a TRO and put the whole thing on hold for a while. Oh ya, a shark of an attorney will have to be retained and he/she will probably do it only if there are big dollars for them at the end. So lets see...a...

In checking out the thread at SI, I noted that one trader believes that he is getting faster executions using the web version of TWS as opposed to the desktop installed version. Has anyone else also noticed this? TNX, Jim

Series 7 update... I got my study materials yesterday afternoon...rtharp is right, they are time sensitive. Sorry, Robert. :) Best advice is to buy your own books...you sure wouldn't want mine because, after looking at the material yesterday, I can see that I'll be marking up my books a lot...

JPerl, I don't know about watches but as for memory, Crucial.com is a devision of Micron...a company with a pretty good rep. Just bought an extra 256mb for the Gateway.

Fooliosbrother, If you can wait for a few months, I'll sell you my study materials. I don't believe that the material is *that* time sensitive...stuff a few months old should be okay. Email me and we can work out a price, time, etc. Best regards, Jim (airspeed)

Tutneo, Thanks for the info on PC Quotes. I'm using Realtick for now and if there is a less expensive alternative, it is nice to know. Jim

Anyone on the board use Andover Trading? I'm considering them as a secondary broker...It seems they provide good software from what I've seen on their web site. Anything else?

I believe that Real Tick doesn't give you a discount for signing up for a full year, PC Quote does. That would save several hundred bucks right there.. JIm

If you're a retail trader, then the suggestion of using Realtick w/ IB is a good one...That's what I use with pretty good success. If you're going pro, Echo has gotten many good reviews on this board and if I were going pro, they would be the first on my list, imho. Best regards, Jim

Hitman, I certainly can't argue with any of the points made in your last post. But after I made my first post, it occurred to me that we are differentpeople with different objectives. You make your living at trading; I don't and that takes a hell of a lot of pressure off me. You're the...

Hitman, I want to thank you bunches for posting your journal...you might consider writing a book :-) You know, after reading about your experience as a professional, licensed trader I'm starting to rethink my plan that includes the series 7 plus other exams and trading for a firm. I can...

I'm with Mac and Zboy...Realtick and IB...Can't go wrong, imho. Best regards, Jim

You really should get a copy of Van Tharp's TRADE YOUR WAY TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM. He completely changed my outlook re daytrading,risk management and expected outcome(s) from a trade. The book really opened my eyes in these areas and I'm the better for it. I have no relationship with Tharp so...

Hi all.. I know that one can calculate "fair value" for S&P futures. But does anyone of a web page that has already done the calculations and posts them? Thanks! and best regards, Jim

Eugene, I understand all of the advantages you wrote about and have to agree that the guys on the floor are the drivers. I was just trying to get a handle on what the experienced players on this board thought that a very well equipped at- home trader could do. And how he might do it, using...

Oops...I made an error in the post I just put up a few minutes ago. Trader capital is $100k *not* 500k. That difference probably matters. Sorry. Jim
