How much software cost for T4 ? > $1 round trip, max $500/mo Static dome with T4 ? > Yes and no. You can do what's called 'center pricing' where the price stays centered, like static; however you cannot scroll up and down on the DOM with your mouse wheel. For me, my stops are always on the...

I use T4 and love it. I keep my dom's pretty simple, so it works for me. You can get a demo from ProActive to test it out. I will warn you of this though - it is VERY customizable so when you open it if you don't like it, don't worry! My dom's look nothing like the default settings. Here is a...

Joeyata - http://www.proactivefutures.com/fees_comm/CME_Fees.htm That's what ProActive charges. The max you pay on the ES is $4.75 and goes down based on volume. I was at Alaron prior to moving to ProActive and was paying A LOT more!

Jay - I trade through ProActive Futures. Commission rates are very competitive and quick access to the main guys - Rich and David - when needed, which is important when trading large lot sizes. I understand dan went to them and left, so it's important that you are comfortable with the firm. I...

Mini - so you are going to keep going long here with no stops in place? This should be an interesting thread if you keep posting when you are purchasing and how many contracts. You say to keep averaging down, but how many times would you do this? Till you are maxed out?

Vision - the ER2 provides some opportunities like the other mini's, but I have found 1 major difference of the ER2 and ES for example - the ER2's move are typically much more exagerrated than the ES. This is great on a winning trade, not so great on a loser. When the ES moves a point or 2, the...

I disagree that the EC should be kept away from. I would consider the ES and EC together. Yes, the argument is to learn 1 and just 1 market at the beginning and I won't argue there. However, the EC is a great additional market to consider b/c the ES at times is very choppy and congested...

Henry - not special monitors, you need special video cards and outputs - I do not know all the technical jargon, which is why I just use tradingcomputers.

SB - one more idea - check the Journals area out on ET as a number of those journals are about trading the ES.

I prefer to have less computers and more monitors. I guess it's personal preference. I would go with something like this: http://tinyurl.com/hykzr Computers and/or monitors.

SB - I would start with the CME and CBOT's website - they have many educational FREE items there. You could spend hours there clicking around and downloading PDF's. In my experience, A LOT of the educational vendors out there are basically pushing what you can get for free there. You may not get...

chugani - many people refer to active trading as a form of 'gambling'. You are right, you are placing monetary 'bets' based on probabilities in its simplest form. Not sure many traders want to be referred to as gamblers though.

Mowery - not sure you understand what risk to reward means. In the example of 1 to 3, you are risking 1 point to make 3 points. This does NOT mean you are right 33% of the time, that is a completely separate function. I prefer to trade on 1 to 2 at the minimum, which means I am willing to...

Good luck Brent. Today's ES has been dull and boring - for me at least.

Hey, did someone say 'futures'? :D If so, I am in! :cool:

Unhappy is probably an understatement. Their records and graphs look great, but for some reason in real life trading, they are not so good. Call it a personal mission, but if I can save some people from spending their money at bigtrends.com, it was worth it for me to post. STAY AWAY FROM...

I can tell you that bigtrends.com is terrible. Do not waste your money there. Not the best advisor, just the worst! Price and his salesmen talk a good game, but they are terrible at trading. Do not spend a penny at bigtrends.com! ! !

Yes, please do a search on Investools and read the many posts about them.

Guys - easy here, geeze. This kid is just asking for some advice, he admits he's a total newbie and you guys are tearing him a new one. Yes, we all agree that his 'business' plan has some flaws, but how about pointing those out constructively? I would imagine most everyone here at one point...

Good point Kastro. I think it's b/c people see the 'forex made easy' or 'Investools' commercials and it just takes 'minutes a day' to make lots of money. I mean, you're just trading a stock, how hard could it be? :confused:
