I was wondering, where can you go to evaluate the records analysts have on individual stocks or where you can go to view the top ranked analysts based on their prior record?

How many contracts can you move on average during RTH on the Russell or the YM within 2 ticks? Thanks

Does anyone know where I can find a smoothed out GDP chart? Thnx

When does the housing futures trading start and does anyone know what the symbol will be in IB? Also, is there going to be a stock derivative of the futures like the SPY's for the S&P futures so there isn't big leverage? Thanks

I know this thread hasn't been posted on in a while but I'm starting to trade heavy, heavy size on futures and this post is scaring the shit out of me. I wasn't trading at the time but why in the hell did the fed cut rates on a non-fed meeting day?

I completely agree -- I'd hate to see stocks trade 24 hours and I really see absolutely no reason for them to do so. Volatility is low enough as it is -- let's just keep things the way they are so I can sleep at night and not think in the back of my head I may be missing an opportunity.

As long as there is an open (whatever time it may be) when there is a surge of volume, thus really starting the regular trading session, gap traders will be fine. Can anyone see a scenario where there isn't some sort of surge in volume at a given time when the market really starts to get going?

So do you think this will eliminate those who trade based on gaps?

Do any of you think stocks will ever trade around the clock like the forex, globex etc? I'm just thinking this because it would kill any trader that made their living trading gaps.

I was reading an article today that stated every single secular bull market (not little cyclical 3 yr bulls etc) in the s&p has started with a P/E ratio that was very close to it's yield, for example the s&p was trading at 11 times and the yield was 10. Has anyone investigated this and does...

Does anyone here invest off correlation history? I'm not talking price action -- I'm talking about a strategy where let's say 80% of the time 'X' has happened 'Y' has occured, therefore giving you the opportunity to profit off of 'Y' -- one example would be, 80% of the time the yield curve has...

Unless I'm overlooking something, that response from MrsSavant has nothing to do with the topic and makes no sense -- anyone that can actually answer the question like the first response would really be greatly appreciated, thanks again.

Thank you for the great response -- so I'm assuming that if you are trading in a 1 minute interval you could probably trade roughly 20 contracts Maybe the forex market is the place to go in and just put on crazy size -- I'm assuming there is no amount an individual retail trader can put...

Let's say you're scalping for 10-20 pips -- can you consistently be profitable even with the spread that every forex pair has? Thanks

On the Russell for instance, how many contracts on average can you put on at any given time without moving the market over let's say 1 or 2 ticks. I know there is no cut and dry answer but if I can get a little more clarity here that would be great. I'm thinking maybe 50 contracts before...

Right now I only intraday trade futures but would like to add some stocks on my screen -- so far I'm thinking the obvious, AAPL, GOOG, RIMM, CME -- what are the other GREAT stocks for daytrading Thanks

I'm looking for a list of all the major index's if that's possible. Just a listing like the OIH for oil, SMH for semi's, SPY for S&P etc. etc. I just want an index for everything -- broker/dealers, banks, internet... etc etc. thank you!

Yes I thought that might work, however it's not the same thing
