Either approach will work. Buying a second 2-head card will definitely be cheaper than buying a 4-head card. I've read suggestions that if you add a second card, it should be the same brand as the first to avoid driver conflicts (I don't know if it's true, but it sounds reasonable). Make sure...

They're saying side-by-side COMEX gold might trade on Globex soon...

It's what's in your head that makes you a winner or loser, regardless of your place of residence, mode of transportation, social contacts, or trading account size. If you think you're a loser, then you are a loser -- changing any one of the above is not going to help you at all. You are...

I too fear the dangling preposition... Sorry I missed your joke, Grant. My edge is a little dull today due to a wakeful toddler last night. Enjoy your day.

Hi, Grant. I'm disagreeing with apex only in the context of intraday trading (the OP's stated interest). If one had a longer-term perspective (which I generally don't), then his points and yours are most likely correct and mine are not. Eurodollars futures (CME describes them as...

I never mentioned anything about volatility, and I'm not trying to make any larger point about it; I'm simply trying to help the OP to find relevant information. She's interested in a contract that has limited intraday movement when compared to the ES and other minis. If she were pricing...

If she's trading intraday, the contract size and associated percentages are irrelevant. Relative to the stated interest of the OP, what matters is the dollar value of the movement.

Hi, Grant. Yes, ATR=Average True Range. The 20-day ATR I'm showing for the Dec. Bund is 0.45; at 10 Euro per tick with a $1.26 exchange rate, the US dollar value works out to roughly $567. The 20-day ATR on the Dec. S&P is 10.69 (unit=full points); at $50 per point that's $535 (ATR is a...

The US$ value of the 20-day ATR on the Bund is running just slightly above that of the e-mini S&P ($567 vs $529 - approx.)

CME Eurodollars (Globex root symbol=GE); not to be confused with EUR/USD futures. http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/contract_spec_ED3087.html

I'm sorry to hear your inlaws suck so badly. Do you have kids? If you do, I bet they benefit hugely from you working at home. While those other jobs might get you out of the house more often and have a swanky business card, at the end of the day time with you is the most important thing you...

There are no "safe" systems, except FDIC-insured CDs or US Treasury issues. Assuming you mean 19:1 reward:risk and not risk:reward, this seems like a highly improbable figure. I would be suspicious that the risk figure represents the realized loss on closed positions, and not the maximum...

I apologize; I had read old documentation and did not notice that it was updated. Thanks for the good news. Regards,

I would like to see true constant volume bars. I've been told by other vendors that splitting ticks across bars is somewhat tricky; however, with all due respect, if QuoteTracker and others can do them correctly then so can eSignal.

CBOT gold is good, but if you're looking to avoid a wide spread than stay away from silver. The Globex-traded miNY and full-size crude both move nicely, as does miNY heating oil most days. The DAX is a wild ride. I find the bund on Eurex much more tradeable intraday than futures on US...

You can open a forex mini account with less than $2,000, but that doesn't really help you with trading e-minis. If you don't have any experience trading intraday in high-volatility markets, I would respectfully suggest that you do some paper trading and get a feel for the markets until you save...

I remember someone mentioning that in the UK there's a tax issue that makes daytrading equities very unattractive relative to futures and forex.

I would appreciate suggestions for charting programs which can correctly and comprehensively handle the trading schedules for futures and forex (i.e., open in the evening, close in the afternoon of the next day). Of the programs with which I have experience, only QuoteTracker covers 95...

Thank you, Scott. Regards,
