julie, it seems you do basket posting too ! :) just kidding, could not resist... lol neo

Not mytrack because [for me] they don't offer futures. I wrote already, that I will probably go for IB FIX interface. thanks for your comments Turok.

uncool indeed. Turok, what is the capital typically requested ? give a figure, you don't have to tell who you made a deal with and with what kind of capital. Just share with us your experience looking for this. I want to do this too, and I am prepared to use IB API. But like Dozu I am very...

what's more liquid ? I think a good way to measure is slippage. If that's the measure emini is more liquid. You will have usually no slippage for 2 to 4 contracts [often there is even more liquidity at the inside market]. With QQQ, you should see more [sometimes much more] slippage for the...

dingdingding this is precisely the kind of silly 'system trading' giving a bad name to the discipline. Others here are right it is not worth talking about this scam. It's a pity it gives arguments to those who think it's a god given gift to humans only to trade the market. My computer is...

ktm, you do not buy the underlying. your cash in your account is a guarantee. so it is not actually used, the contract's fee is 2.95 for IB in example. that's all you pay.. Of course, there's a time when it is settled ! :) When you close your position, the value of the contract is...

Tradestation is the reference. Anyone offering a backtest software has to compare himself to Tradestation. Easylanguage is probably easy enough to learn. It comes with many examples of strategies and how to code them. there are serious drawbacks to Tradestation though : - some entries might...

most laptop power supply are multi volts. 110-220V 50-60 hz, please check on the back of the power supply for details. Then you only need a plug adapter to physically be able to plug in the AC outlet in Europe.

since nobody is reacting, well, I only want to say 'why not?'. As long as you control your risk.. be careful and realize that one point comes very quickly with the e mini, so even though your risk is lower [in your example] it comes much quicker. you should know about the limit up and...

With some delays, several recently asked some ideas about trading. Here are a few links to consider [link going to more links], including free online seminar. the free online seminar's quality is not constant and some are just masked advertising, but it's up to you to see through it...

I too think simpler is better. My posted setup has 2 monitors, the 3rd one is back up. There is no right way. The setup also depends on your type of trading. I tend to have a simpler setup because I trade only 1 or 2 markets and always these two. These are just tools. You want the good...

I agree. I meant to say it is very different. It did not come out right. My meaning was more : you need to know how to trade before trading futures because of the leverage [regardless of stocks or futures, you must master what trading means : trends, execution, position sizing, psychology...

same experience than tymjr If your time frame is too short, slippage+commission will kill you on QQQ, even with a 1 cent commission. QQQ is only good imho for a full day swing [if you have a method for that] or longer time frames [unless the gaps kill you]. I did a test last month ...

if the SEC's intention was to get rid of retail daytraders, that's it, just promote futures and options or even funnier stock futures. leverage depends on your capital with futures. but indeed, with one point nasdaq equalling $20 [emini] per contract, your account will die very quickly if you...

airspeed is right. Also, I do not need level II, that's a $100 saving http://www.pcquote.com/products/pcquote60/pricing.php anyway you can get realtick for less that's the point. but townsend analytics is not stupid, they try to make sure their products do not compete with each other [too...

quickly I respond, [you can use the 'quote' feature, instead of retyping someone's text by the way :)] Yes, that sucks. Join me and let's convince them. some european futures markets would not update in realtime. again, let me point out it is easy to fix. It is only a pity that's not...

hi fooliosbrother, Yes, indeed I am still very satisfied with Ensign. let me go through what I don't like so far. - the menu structure is a bit different than other software. I wrote that already, but it is possible to get used to it, just not nice. - the charts are limited to 2338 bars...

if you don't need the brokerage service and some other services you can get realtick for less. http://www.pcquote.com pcquote 6.0 is realtick, same server, same data, same company, and features. check the service level and features you need, you may like the price. DO NOT USE ORBIT...
