apex - Not quite that bad (W95 machine with a 17 year old operator) on the technology front, but some serious problems with operational systems and they're way behind on numerous other technology projects. The executive they have in charge of electronic markets is the poster child for the...

The biggest problem Globex has is the people in charge of electronic markets and technology at the CME. Way over their heads and it's starting to cause major impact to everyone - recurring downtime, a lot of brokers/members having daily connectivity problems, bitching around the industry but...

dottom - Martha's not even in the league of the "greedy". Assuming she did bail on her Imclone shares thanks to a call from her buddy Waksal, we're only talking about 4,000 shares. Compare that to Larry Ellison dumping $1 billion in Oracle stock a couple of years ago while he and his...

Check the CME and CBOT websites for detailed information about the contracts and you should find the info. As far as liquidity - compare the average daily trading volume of the contracts and that should tell you which is more liquid.

There's a Journal in MS Outlook - haven't used it but you might want to take a look and see if it does anything you're looking for.

akurov - depends. You get 100% accurate T&S for pit-traded contracts. The exchange only captures prices, not volume. They do a pretty decent job, but there's no way they can be 100% accurate and get absolutely every trade and every bid/ask change. There are a lot of trades (especially when...

J-S - if you can get the beta of the applicable sector indices, you can then derive the intersector correlation. Betas are usually computed compared to the S&P. Since the two betas have a common comparison, they can then be compared to each other.

Viagra Joke In pharmacology, all drugs have a generic name: Tylenol is acetaminophen, Aleve is naproxen, Amoxil is amoxicillin, Advil is ibuprofen, and so on. The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra, and announced that it has settled on mycoxafloppin. Also considered...

Regardless how they might advertise it - Live charts is not for traders - it's for people who want relatively infrequent access to data and simple charts. It's a very lightweight product.

Try sending him an email - doesn't he have a profile here on ET? If so, you should be able to send an email to him that way (don't do a private message in case he's not checking ET regularly).

Most routers can at least be telneted to via their inside IP address and you should be able to login to the router and force a reset that way at the very least. Best solution is a cable router - then you don't have a separater cable modem and a router - the cable router connects to the coax...

trdrmac - there are more than just those three ways to make money in the market canyonman - indeed "that there are SOME who use the software successfully is the point". It is very much the point. The WT ads are telling people that for a mere $4K any flaming idiot can make a fortune in the...

As a general rule, if you're using W2K or XP and an NTFS disk format - there's normally little reason to partition the volume. As far as sharing - you can share folders without sharing the whole volume - so no reason to partition for that reason. If you run defragmenting, you're also...

EQ has some interesting features, but it is still a MCS (massive CPU sucker). There've been some improvements, but it still suffers from being the old Ravenquote code (which was pretty amateurish) - it's "plugin API" was horrible and it was a total resource pig. For $80/month you get a...

wow321 - Run, don't walk, as fast and far away from this POS as you can - their hype is just that - hype. And they'll be more than happy to seperate you from your several thousands of dollars.

Tech Analysis - The trick with the QCharts datafeed is you can't let it decide which server to connect to. If you control the server group you connnect to, you get better results.

The terms refer to different things - the first term refers more to a trade duration time horizon and the second refers to one potential entry/exit criteria. Scalping is a trading style contrasted with other styles like intraday swing trading, multiday swing trading, or position trading...

Just before or at the open, the premium can be pretty wide if there was a sharp overnight move in the futures since it's computed against the previous day's closing cash index until the current cash index starts getting updated after the open. All it means is that the cash market's going to...

There's a chat room run by a "traderbambu" that I've heard about on another board that's supposedly pretty good for the eminis. I'm not big on chat rooms, but have seen posts from a couple of people who use that room - might be worth checking out if you're looking. I'm under the impression...

Let's just say that to say that it sucks, doesn't say enough. But why pay $400/month - just check out "waxie"s very cheezy late night infomercials where he tells you that if you buy his lame little trading course (read the fine print though - it's not as cheap as he tries to lead you to...
