wild do you have some sort of professional esignal account? you are always so positive about them, and i joke around that u work for them, but i just don't get why your experience is so positive my experiences and other forum members experiences are so different to yours it was not that...

i definetly would not trust esignal data

thats why i asked and if u take limit orders as opposed to market, with noise on most indexes as opposed to bonds for instance, i am not so sure the cost of a direct entry is worth it - althought i personally have a fast and very reliable internet connetion

billtt "If you trade the Eurostoxx using a real trading screen" what is a real trading screen? "Don't use the charting service order entry screens, they're to slow. " what is a charting service entry screen? "Trading with a broker is even worse. " if u dont use a broker/clearer...

i suspect the problem with 50/50 relates to it being a positive or negative move from the entry point, but a half point rise in the s&p and then a 1 pt drop, and noise around the entry point, would achieve a 50/50 ratio, but only make the broker rich as u kept getting chopped

as wild indicates, i never trade in the lead up to important economic news, and i personally always give a little space afterward to see if a well defined trend appears - normally i trade right on the trend change - but not after news which affects the market too much as there is then too much...

you may want to bear in mind that the moment you hear a bit of news - at that very second its immediate effect is factored into the price - if you then try to second guess what the next immediate or future move - that you feel the market has not taken into account - you are then gambling -...

def personally i have found that the wait time to speak to someone is not that bad, and also they are helpful when u do speak to them , that is if they know the answer - but what is a real pisser is that if they cannot answer a question - that is the end of the game - you might get put...

the only method that works for anyone is the method they discover for themselves through trading

nugya eurostoxx is traded on eurex and its 10 euros a point its great to have leading indicators, but it does mean u r second guessing the effect of one on the other, and if the intermarket relationship had already gone out of step, a movement in the leading indicator, may just bring it...

i agree that the dax futures might be a bit heavy for a beginner, and although it is very technical in its movement, therefore easy to trade, it does absolutely follow the nasdaq, albeit a shock absorber dampened version, so it has more extreme moves relative to say the ftse, albeit a shock...

remember that interactive's data feed is only a snap shot of the data - not the real thing - and it can be way out of line with the real market

Baron is the big cheese of this board - u could be baroness - tell him you will get the queen to send him a message - the yanks love all our royal crap - and then send him an elton john record

re data supply and charting software, at $50 a point per contract on the es, u may find that saving a few dollars on software ends up being real expensive, i personaly spend a 1000 bucks a month on charting software, and i am not suggesting u do, but if u have any reservations about your...

i guess thats true of all trading - but options are real complex unless u r arbing them one for one

no one should touch options of any sort - unless they really understand them - i guess options were the great way to lose money until spreadbetting came along and took its crown

nugya yep, i used to take the spreadbettors at the key levels when they would think i was on the wrong side of the trade - so then when they post u a price - you know wether it is good or not - but u still have to get out at the other end when fair value goes out of wack though - so do...

if the old dears on trade2win who bend the truth about making money at spreadbetting could see this thread - they would be grinding their false teeth and spilling their tea! bless them and their little tea parties way to go toby! maybe we should short ig and cmc real quick!!! jeez...

vikana i am into futures as stocks scare the life out of me - that is really why i come onto elite - i have never really seen anything of any value posted about futures, but there is a lot of stuff about stocks - and i am just trying to take it all in and stocks arbitrage interests me -...

vikana do u see any logic to the people who complain about smart fills on es are as good as u get in anything
