    Quotetracker backfill

    I use Quote.com for backfills, and it stopped working on Monday, 10/1. I have emailed numerous times this week for updates when the problem would be corrected, but they keep saying nothing has been resolved, with no timetable. Go figure. Steven keeps saying nothing has been done, and that's...

    Late open for IJR?

    I was going to follow IJR, the ETF which tracks the S&P small cap 600. However it opened about 20 minutes late. Is this somehow normal? Or simply today?

    Guaranteed limit order fill question-futures

    If I place an order to buy one emini contract at ask plus one tick, will it get filled at ask plus one tick, or will it be executed at the best price, which would be the current ask price? I want to be sure to get "in", and in a fast moving, neurotic market like the Russell emini, I don't...

    Emini Russell worth 100 bucks?

    This thing moves around fast. It moves one point/$100 with ease. Also the volume is picking up over time.

    Emini Russell worth 100 bucks?

    Checking out the emini, it looks like a one point move would be worth $100.00 per contract. The thing seems to trade in tenths, each tenth worth $10 bucks. Do I have this correct?

    Q-charts symbol for emini Russell 2000?

    Can't seem to find the symbol for the emini. Should be ER2 04 H or some combination like that. I use MBTrading which is /ER2H4, but I sometimes use Q-charts. Help.

    AGP bus vs PCI bus?

    I am running a 19" lcd monitor using a ATI 7500 card in the AGP bus. It is digital and the picture is crystal clear. I have another new computer whereby the existing graphics card is built into the board. I am using a Mitsubishi 15" lcd monitor in analog mode, however it can also go...

    How to guage the opening direction?

    I watch the advance/decline line for the first 5 minutes. I try to judge how strong it is regarding which direction it initially trends. Up, or down. Pretty simple.

    Backup or Replacement Futures Broker to IB

    I can second that. I recently switched from IB to MB. The customer service "attitude" at MB is as good as it is as BAD at IB. I never had any real problems with IB, other than the fact that their customer service attitude was the absolute worst I have ever encounter with any company in any...

    Which is better to trade? 30,10, or 5 yr. note

    What is the status of the 30 bond? I thought it was discontinued. Also, are there any preferences as to which bond or note to day trade? When watching the charts, it seems to me that the 5 year note is perhaps the smoothest when trending. They all move the same direction, in...

    10 yr T-note rollover date?

    I am getting educated on the 10 year t-note. The electronic version (ZN). The ES mini rollover is two weeks from today (going from the March contract, to June). I was following the March contract for ZN today, and the volume was 122,000+ contracts. However the June volume was 392,000...
