I know everyone complains about it, but I gotta say that every once in a while I am absolutely shocked by how rude some of their customer service people are. Shocking! It is obvious that management just doesn't care.

Can anyone tell me how much you use TotalView and how helpful it really is? Thanks.

Okay, I made a PDF of this one too. Thanks!

Well, I hope you understand that paper trading results will usually be much more favorable than real world results. You would be best advised to start your real money trading very very small and make sure you get the best commissions available. If you lose in the beginning go back to paper...

I voted "other" because I think it will be because of a combination of the choices as well as: 1. The economy is not really doing that well, it just looks that way because it is being compared to recent dismal performance. 2. When QE2 ends or is discontinued, the results will be a downward...

Here is a PDF of the contract months which also can be confusing for people who don't trade futures.

Don't get me wrong, I love your enthusiasm and you seem like a good guy. And you are absolutely correct, we all make mistakes frequently. I was just saying that I hope options are not your main trading vehicle based on what you wrote regarding them. Your answers indicate that you don't really...

Thanks very much, quite helpful. The only thing it doesn't seem to have is the contract symbols. I attached a PDF for anyone that would like to have it.

Hi, That's what I have been doing, but frankly, the info is so spread around and convoluted that I was wondering if there is a central location that lists most of the contracts, regardless of exchange, along with their tick values. I'm used to stocks and stock options and everything is so...

Hi, Can anyone please tell me what the easiest way to look up tick value on any futures contract is? In other words, is there any central website that has the majority of futures contracts with tick values listed? Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I was just wondering... Isn't the difference between the bid and the ask $12.50 per contract as opposed to $5 for 500 shares of SPY? If so, is that a negative factor for trading the ES?

Hi Jerry, Thanks for responding. You made a great product and I will be sorry to see it go if TDA kills it off. I am under the impression that your formula for IB symbols doesn't always work, but I could be mistaken. If I come across another one that doesn't seem to work, I will post it here...

Hi, Daytrading ES vs. SPY (Commision and spread costs) Just wondering which is better to trade considering all commissions and spreads that have to be paid to execute and close out a trade? Thanks.

Okay, the question still stands about looking up various futures symbols for Quotetracker on IB, but I was able to find the silver mini using NYMEX:@QIH1. Thanks.

Hello, I am wondering how to look up Quotetracker futures symbols for IB. I have gone to the Quotetracker help, but it only has a few symbols and many do not follow the format they lay out: http://www.quotetracker.com/help/ib.shtml I am looking for the mini silver on the NYMEX among other...

Hi, Does anyone know what the IB Quotetracker symbol for e-mini silver is? Also, is there an easy way to look up these IB Quotetracker symbols? Thanks.

Hi, Can you please tell me the IB symbol for RUT? I can get the options, but not the index. Thanks.

Can you please direct me to where the price is listed as $1.42. It seems to be listed as $2.01, but there is a good chance I am not looking it up properly. Thanks.

Do you know a good broker that does not charge cancellation fees, so that it is possible to work the options orders? Thanks.
