I read in Active Trader that there should be a documentary about futures trading today on PBS:" Open Outcry". I checked my local TV guide (I have Digital TV) because I wanted to watch it but I just can' t find it.

Where is the start a thread function now?

Sorry, how do you see if autoex is on? Thanks Well on the SSF, imagine the company says something at some conference during the day and the stock plunges 5-10% in less than 10 minutes (nothing unusual) with 10:1 leverage on a futures contract, any technical problem to get out and you lost it...

Difficult day today. Actually there were great opportunities if you picked your entries. But many were on the wrong side of the market I think. Any comments?

SSF are being so much hyped right now. I am very skeptical, the liquidity will not be adequate I think. Plus the risk will be huge. I don't even consider trading them. Don't get caught up into this hype.

aha depth of market! ... IB DOM is worthless, it's like 2 seconds behind, like what they have for stocks. I would like them to fix this problem but anyway I think this info has little value for the eminis. I personally never liked to trade off Nasdaq level 2, by the time you see something...

From what I read it's very difficult to scalp for off floor traders. I don't think you can make it with a 3/4-2 point profit objective. Profits will not exceed losses. I started trading ES just this month, my objective is 2-5 points or more, 1 point stop sometimes one tick or two more...

I would like to find a source for industry conferences. This can be useful, if only to know when a stock in consolidation is likely to breakout.

We should be able to ask questions and get answers about IB and start new thread about IB. First of all I would think Def has always been active on this website as a private individual and not as an IB employee on duty. So ET is not used as support for IB customers. The fact is this must upset...

You have to be willing to cut down on your lifestyle IMO if you want to start trading for a living. I 'll never understand these guys comfortably making 6 figures at some company and who now want the freedom of trading but would rather avoid the income uncertainty that comes with it. You have to...

Not tick by tick, charts update every minute I think. They don't have futures data either. Somebody mentioned AFI as a QCharts alternative on a thread today. Never heard of them , what kind of product is it?

COMMENTARY FROM THE RAVEN (Realitytrader.com): PRE-MARKET COMMENTARY OCTOBER 17, 2001 Many stocks and indices remain extended but refuse to turn down. As I mentioned yesterday, the market feels like it wants to go higher even though it is extended technically. I have a suspicion...

Watch both more TICK (NYSE) though. I am not sure but I think I read somewhere(maybe here) that TICK.NQ is less valuable because determined by up/down bid on Nas stocks while TICK is derived from actual trades. Anybody can confirm this? Thanks

Check out her website first: http://www.mrci.com/lbr/ Lots of good stuff, I am sure it gives you an idea of the way she trades and what kind of info she gives in the room, the book should do that too. $300 a month? that's pretty steep. Well anyway I think it's better to develop your own...

Top-down is the most logical to determine direction. Daily-60-15- etc. Then I would take signals from the 1 min chart,3 ,5 etc

The Fed in addition to lowering rates added liquidity by modifying bank reserve requirements, so there is more money into the system. Banks are required to deposit part of the customers deposit money in vaults at the Fed. The higher the %requirements, the less liquidity as banks can use less...

2 disruptions of service in one week ! Plus I just found out that my backup free ISP's that I rarely had to use so far have all gone under!:eek:

Anybody experiencing unusual downtime with ATHM since they filed for bankruptcy 2 weeks ago?

Many thanks to all. Since I came about this site less than a year ago I went from trading stocks with a browser based broker to trading stock, futures and options electronically and got a great deal of information on hardware, software, brokers, trading vehicules and professional trading. Let's...

Let's bombard QQL with email requests for an emini feed!:)
