Surf are you the seller or is this just a heads up? TIA

I distinctly recall jackhammering my concrete sidewalk to dig the hole for my HUGE satellite dish pole. $500/month for 15 min delayed "real time" data! Hahaha. Even better was when my broker lowered commish on futures from $51 to $33 round turn. I could then trade nearly twice as much for...

Pay your taxes or expatriate. Buying gold and having a good law firm on retainer wouldnt hurt either.

All you wanted to know Johnson. Its an estimate. Not set in stone. Changes as you get closer to Fed days. http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2007/08/30/calculating-probabilities-of-fed-rate-moves-a-primer/ http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/page/0,3181,1525,00.html

CQG Mirus/ZenFire/Ninja. No problems.

Second vote for smartquant

No problem although on the last one you will have to pick a value. NT has webinars everyday. Some are 30 min, some are 1 hr. The one you'd want to see would be Advanced trade management 1 or 2. http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/trading_online_events.htm

What's wrong with pursuing a post graduate degree just in case trading is not for you? In the meantime start long term investing for your retirement. Which is to say dont count on Uncle Sam handing out S.S and Medicare when you're 65. Owning real estate is almost always better than...

We are all one accident away from needing help. No one is saying screw Chris Reeve and if he didnt have Superman's Funds... let him die. We have a duty to protect those who cant fight for themselves. BUT It's quite another thing to venerate junkies on their own cable show...

Jamis, just think how much more benevolent the Chinese and Indian ass kicker are going to be versus the evil American capitalist who wont let granny get her gall bladder removed on HIS dime. Dont you get it? Globalization is here to stay. China/India has got a taste and unlike the American...

rare, but true. Enjoyed a nice 3 day lock limit down in pork bellies once. Fortunately hedged it with hogs but a sickening feeling. Another difference with futures vs stocks is structural vs cyclical. Stock rotation is cyclical, this sector that industry is hot or not. In futures markets...

Maybe when Lampert is canned he can get a job doing the sound effects on Cramer's show?

Of all the front ends to use with IB, Ninjatrader is the most finicky. ZLT and ButtonTrader are solid. Constant upgrades of TWS sans sufficient duration beta testing doesn't help. Pink screen of death really gets the trading blood flowing eh? :)

Short answer: No. It also depends on what you're searching for. All gaps are not created equal. Especially pre market gaps. Look at the link, basically identical screen criteria but the left one is set to pre market and dark grey one is set at market open. I am not seeing every gap...

If you have not tried Stockfetcher take a look. Copy and paste this code into SF screen to get an idea. ____________________ exchange is nasdaq high minus low above 1.0 today volume above 5000000 avg vol(30)above 5000000 add column high minus low{range} sort column 5 descending...

Three letters: CQG Honorable mention: DTN Just futures. TT, Ninja/ZenFire Esignal has the same delusions of grandeur that IB has. Stop trying to be all things to all people. If you're a data provider, provide data not excuses.

Bloomberg is overkill unless you need to know bond rates in Sri Lanka for some reason. News is great though. If you're going to go, go all the way and pony up for Aspen Graphics charting powered by BB data and have your terminal on the side. Best of all worlds. Should be for 3k month.

Buttontrader is one of the reasons why I stay with IB. Not the other way around. Maybe the best. ZLT is also very good. Ninjatrader is moving ever closer to Button but is more finicky working with IB. Customer service with BT and ZLT is also outstanding. Im not sure even the...

Many pros/cons for each. But I would go with IB. For no other reason than IB is as dependable for execution as the other two with comparable commish and better interest paid on your balance. IMO IB is a better _broker_ Not as good as the other two as in charting or cust service...
