An alternate to consider might be trading the currency futures - for example, I think the initial day trading performance bond on the Euro FX contracts is around 1%.

The answer is it depends. At times, trading in the futures causes moves in the equities and/or index ETFs which then moves the cash indices (which are just arithmetic calcs based on the underlying equities). At other times, the moves in the equities and/or ETFs (which themselves move...

Snooptrader - Yes, I believe they have paid to pimp (or at least they had at one time) - although it would be more truth in advertising if his/her handle was identified as being a rep for that company in the same way that Bright, def, and the people from other advertisers are (instead of tagging...

Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan...what we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message. Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!) I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So...

You're looking your PC's memory too two dimensionally. The amount of "free" physical memory at any moment isn't as straightforward as you might think. In this case, you're dealing with the dynamics of both the virtual demand paging executive and the disk caching manager. "Free" and...

Latest weather report - temperature in Hell is now 20 degrees Farenheit and snowing. Still got to dip well below zero though - long way to the World Series. :) :) Convertibility - someone should have told the fans in Atlanta they weren't supposed to use rubber tomahawks for that...

The point is that it is NOT very good. .1% on that index is 3-4 points. That's 3-10% of the trading range for any given day but even then only 1/5th of the time. That's insignificant. You might as well generate random #s above and below the average - you're just as likely to get within 3-10%...

0.10% of the high/low 19% of the time? Let's see - 0.1% sounds very tight, but that means within 3-3 1/2 points of the high/low (CAC40) only 19% of the time And it's not really 0.1% (because accuracy shouldn't be measured based on index price but rather intraday range) - so 3-3 1/2 points...

Would that be like the way they "chopped" him in Game 1?? :)

First thing to do is make sure your existing feeds don't have the TICK. They might be calling it something that you're not recognizing. I thought all the most widely used feeds all have TICK under one name or another (just might not be called TICK)?

Not looking good right now - Atlanta 4/Chicago 1, top of the 6th Pitching weak today. Going to take a major comeback miracle to avoid going to game 5. It's been the coldest October so far since 1908 - is Hell cold enough for them to pull this out??? :)

Wondering how many take this and whether you plan to keep doing so. I had been taking it for the last year or two, but I just got an email that they were ready to automatically renew me next week for $230 for the coming year, so I called and cancelled. When they asked why I was cancelling...

While you certainly can't scan the "universe" of stocks with only 500 symbols, it does seem that you could have very significant coverage. Considering that the S&P100, Nasdaq100, and Dow30 account for half or more of ALL the volume traded and (at least according Yahoo's simple screener)...

Rush will be admitting himself to the Jimmy the Greek Clinic for treatment of chronic Foot in Mouth disease :)

Here's a snap using quote.com data - see if this is what you're looking for volume on the SP

You clipped off the Y-scale of your chart snapshot, so I can't see what the "volume" range is that you're looking at. But since there's no real volume reported for pit traded contracts intraday from the CME, each reported trade (note that ALL trades are NOT reported because they're not...

They "wized" up and dumped their old multi-level marketing crap, gave themselves a new identity (but didn't move from their old offices in Texas), glossed up their patter and ads, and even dipped into the wonderful world of late night infomercials with a incredibly deceptive pile of BS. So...

FYI - no datafeed has accurate intraday volume for the pit traded contracts because of the way the data is captured. The exchange doesn't provide it - just price changes (they don't even necessarily catch every trade tick). The volume for the minis is accurate because it's electronic.

Quick question - I'm probably missing it, but are the "pivots" you're referencing shown on the chart? Can't tell from your chart where they are - looks like you've got horizontal lines drawn about every 20 cents or so. Are those places you're looking for "pivots"? Thanks for any...

Cash and cash equivalents is about the only thing you can use with Sun. Expect a lot of fluff assets and capitalized expenses on their balance sheet (witness the sudden evaporation of a billion dollar asset just yesterday - it was a legit accounting entry, but a tax "asset" like that is only...
