    max liability for futures trading

    Stops on Globex are local and not native. This means that a stop is located on your local machine and if it doesn't trigger (connection lost to the exchange), you will not get your stop filled. This could also mean that the market is crashing so hard that it is limit down every day and you are...

    Anybody Prematurely Sever Their Prop Trading Agreement?

    Yes, there is precedence in Illinois that I'm aware of that rejected non-competes on many levels. A non-compete must be very specific. A business cannot prevent a person from earning a living. You just can't do it using a proprietary system that they have taught you (such as an indicator or...

    Please recommend platform for starting prop/day trader

    Yes, I have tested it with IQFeed. Ensign works very well. It includes a recorder, simulator and many other features. I didn't get into too much depth since i have so much on my plate right now. However, with IQFeed, it cost about $100 per month or so plus exchange fees. I think it is worth the...

    Vidcard Pegging my CPU?

    Your problem is eSignal. The way you have your custom studies setup is causing eSignal to compute on multiple charts on every tick. I use CQG and in it there is a feature that you can select to only recalculate at the close of every bar or on specific time intervals (every minute, etc) rather...

    Clearing codes

    I don't know that they are only provided to members. I doubt that. My objective was to let you know that this information is only provided for your fill and not for every trade. In other words, if you happen to get filled a price, you will see who the counterparty is. Hence, there is really no...

    New puter

    I would agree that keeping the old machine for backup would be wise. However, it is best to buy a new one if you will be going to XP or Win2K.

    New puter

    How good are you at adding parts to a computer? Ever pop the hood off one? If so, you might go with the Dell 4700, 3.0 GHz+ CPU w/HT, minimal memory, 40GB+ HDD and the rest is standard issue. I would then get the following: 2 512MB RAM cards 1 nVidia Quadro NVS card (dual head) will give...

    Outlook Express Help

    I know where the emails are stored. There are numerous DBX files there. I can't access them. What I had in mind is a program that can import Outlook Express messages but has message management and cleanup features. I can then import the messages, remove duplicates in bulk and then restore the...

    Outlook Express Help

    The problem is not with an IMAP account like hotmail. The problem is that over time from backing up and restoring my system, I reimport my messages and then many messages left on the server get downloaded again (100's of them), so I end up with triplicates.

    Any ideas? Possibly an email program that would import Outlook messages and that has a duplicate finder?

    Anybody Prematurely Sever Their Prop Trading Agreement?

    Just to address a few of the points brought on here: Non-competes cannot be general and unlimited to be upheld in a court of law. Non-competes must state an operating radius and duration (for example, within 50 miles and for 2 years). If left generic, they interfere with the right to earn a...

    Technicals of Paul Rotter (The Flipper)'s strategy?

    I noticed this same sudden change in the FDAX as well. The GM news was incredible and I felt like I hit one of these fakers on the news. I took over 60 contracts and it fell hard. For the next 2 days, the FDAX was thinner and more volatile as it was a couple of years ago. I don't get bothered by...

    Registry key deletion question

    Without working in Safe Mode, programs in your Run, RunOnce, Windows Startup and other areas will start up before you get a prompt. This allows viruses to morph and reinstall. YOU MUST WORK IN SAFE MODE in most cases. Good luck.

    Registry key deletion question

    Before any of your attempts to remove these warms, did you remember to disable System Restore? Did you run your scans, removal tools, etc, in Windows Safe Mode?

    Clearing codes

    Hi Avid, I hope you are well. I'm a member of both the CME and CBOT. Clearing codes are only provided (even on X-Trader) for those fills that you get. They just show the clearing code for the clearer on the other side. It doesn't specifically show who it is. So someone like Fortis, who has...

    how did you learn trading

    A typical futures prop firm will expect a trader to make the turn in 8 to 9 months and be positive in his account in 1 year. With proper mentoring and attention, a trader can start seeing some green days in about 4 months; be consistent in 6 and be profitable in 9 months. A prop firm will not...

    Anybody Prematurely Sever Their Prop Trading Agreement?

    Have a good look at your agreement before you take the "suicide pill" advice offered here. It is better to get fired for coming in late and not trading when you show up. Bring a trading book and read or something. You have the possibility of leaving on friendlier terms. Again, provide a bit more...
