What is CNBC going to do? You will hear how good a development this new rule is because it protects the little guy and will discourage people to throw away their savings trying their hand at daytrading. Disgustingly dumb as usual.

What did you guys think ? 4 to 1 margin will be at broker's discretion of course, brokers have always had their own margin rules in addition to SEC regulations. I doubt many will offer 4 to 1 margin to all their customers. We got screwed from the beginning.

Roger2, I am sorry to hear this EOD data problem still occurs, I canceled a few months ago because of that(it was a major problem cause at the open I look at gaps and where it opened compared to yesterday on the daily, can't see that if the current bar is not displayed) and the absence of...

I emailed them a few times, as recently as 2 weeks ago about the absence of futures data,they upgraded the package but no data for the emini yet. It is really a shame since overall it's a great package and emini data is free of exchange fee. Another thing that I would like is full option chains...

I am interested in this new IB tool presented at the Expo to select among different options. Has anybody been able to use it yet? I am new to options and will gradually get into it, however from what I learned so far it seems that you need a software that will do most of the work for you...

What could happen to the cable service? On a side note,sometimes I really wonder if the collapse of many internet businesses is not going to affect us all (at least those who trade from home) , one or two acces providers that will control their market, the end of the freebies, inactivity fees at...

When you want to cancel the service you have to send them a letter! Their fee/service structure is complicated, I would never pay $50 a month and have this lame ad window taking screen space. Funny: EDAT is a SM from Nextrend, didn't know that! But most importantly I don't like too much the...

I use ZoneAlarm too, it works fine. It's kind of slow to change pages , but nothing like 15 sec, more like 3sec.with 40 symbols per page (128Mb RAM). I was told that's because of the 40 symbols. Just my experience.I wouldn't go through the whole Java installation as they suggest for almost any...

dlincke, Where did you read the CME was going to charge $10 a month for the emini quotes beginning in September?! There is no mention of this on the CME website. As for the Nextrend memo, I believe there is confusion between emini and full contracts prices, for the full contracts CME charges...

Getting started too. Papertrading now. My question is: it seems relatively easy to momentum scalp emini NQ for 3-7 points with a 2 point stop. What kind of slippage should I expect, I do it mostly on the long side, when trading is pretty fast. Not able to do it well live with the QQQ going...

I tried all of those plus Futuresource.com, ProphetFinance.com (great but only has intraday data for SPU1) , Tradesignals applet won't provide any intraday data for emini NQ. If I type NQU1 it says no intraday data for this symbol. As for the free Nextrend, I can't even get a 10 day 60 min ...

Desperately looking for multiple day (atleast 5) 15 min. (or 10 or 30 min.) intraday charts (real time or not)of emini Nasdaq Futures, with crosshair so I can pinpoint S&R areas? I tried several websites, they often have emini SP intraday data but nothing for the NQ . Help greatly appreciated.

Many scams out there, beware! I am interested in trading Euro emini Fx (besides emini NQ), too bad the CME quotes are no longer free. Anybody trading this vehicle? What is it like to trade Euro Fx and what data, websites do you use ? Thanks

Yeah I read that but does that mean Townsend is no longer free or discontinued?

What about the quote vendors on the CME website? http://www.cme.com/web/live/ There is a feed from Townsend Analytics. Anybody tried that?

I checked out the Online trading expo website, http://www.onlinetradingexpo.com/tutorials.htm There is a tutorial with an IB VP "demonstrating IB's proprietary technology for making relative pricing assessments among options series as well as the intelligent order routing used to find the...

I didn't find any thread on TA, so I thought it would be great to have one to post questions/remarks regarding the use of technical analysis and/or the technical state of the market. My question is : how important is the technical picture on an EOD basis in the futures market when you trade the...

Sorry I meant odd lot with SNET not SS. You can't use SNET anymore for odd lot and you have to send an order 100 shares higher than the size displayed. I don't see the reason for this new rule.

I don't quite understand this: If you SNET pref. your order has to be 100 shares higher than the quantity dsplayed? So you can't use SNET for round lots? From SS FAQ: Must preferenced SelectNet orders be sent in amounts 100 shares greater than displayed size? What happens if an order was...

Thank you guys. I have been using QQL, they don't offer complete option chains, what about Qcharts?
