That's definitely the kind of info I am looking for. Thank you.

IBSoft or def, Can you please confirm if the updated backfill will be 1-min OHLC, tick, or some other interval? Thank you. Regards,

I just went back to working full-time in an office rather than at home, so now I can't trade the US markets during RTH. I've been catching some DAX/Bund action in the morning and in the evening the futures in Australia, Singapore, and Japan. I've had a hard time getting good tick data for the...

I sincerely hope that the prejudiced male traders who posted above do not have any daughters; they demonstrate a profound ignorance that relegates women to second-class status. The matter of whether one gender is more accomplished than the other at a given task is a separate question from...

Will that backfill be 1-min OHLC data, tick, or something else?

Apart from the difference in contract size, I would appreciate any opinions on trading Nikkei 225 futures on the Osaka Securities Exchange (OSE) versus SIMEX (liquidity, volitility, etc.). Thank you. Regards,

If yes, to whom?

P.S. You might consider the WD raptor 10,000 rpm SATA drives as well. But as nononsense pointed out, you're not going to see a huge difference in performance (more bang for the buck to upgrade your memory).

Take a look at Adaptec's SATAConnect 1205SA or Serial ATA RAID 1210SA. They are both standard size PCI cards. You will get faster throughput from the SATA drive via PCI than you will from an ATA100 drive. I use two 1210 cards in my current machine, and they have been great (you don't have to...

Actually, it would probably be more helpful to wish you bad luck on the simulator before you start trading real cash (for some educational and entertaining reading on risk management and trading without any, search for threads started by user Ripley -- thanks Ripley) Any way, good trading...

Zeb, YM is the mini-Dow, NQ is the mini-NASDAQ, ES is the mini-S&P, and ER2 is the mini-Russell 2000, and several other index products as well. NQ, ES, and ER2 are on CME (www.cme.com) and the YM is on CBOT (www.cbot.com). CBOT has some great archived webinars on trading their...

Zeb. I would recommend checking out an e-mini simulator (TT Trainer on the XTrader platform is great). A couple futures firms offer trial period access (usually for a week or two) to this simulator for free or a nominal fee. Try web search phrase "futures free TT trainer simulator". The data...

I thought that unless you were considered a broker-dealer (i.e., not simply an exchange member), you didn't have to pay SE taxes.

It would appear that futures or foreign currency positions would not be taxable (perhaps options as well). Also, if you're a swing or intraday trader, you could simply take your account to cash on 31 Dec. to avoid paying this tax.

What time(s) of day (Eastern time) are typically peak for both price movement and volume in the forex market? Does it differ significantly for the currency pair one is trading (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD)? Are there any real-time broad measures of market volume for specific...

IQFeed is usually okay; however, during periods of heavy market volume the real time feed is unacceptably delayed. I suppose I'm also irritated with a customer service rep who was somewhat rude and played dumb about the delay problem. Only after I wasted fifteen minutes describing the same...

Tuttle=Tullet

I want to add forex data to my stream (actually I'm also looking for a new data vendor--unhappy with IQFeed), and I've noticed that IQFeed, as well as tradesignals.com (anyone know anything about them?), offer forex data from Barclays and Tuttle for one fee and then hot spot as an add on for...
