Ok, I'm testing this now... my question is how do you have the headlines scroll in one window? It seems like this news feature is setup mainly to show news specifically related to individual securities. This is not very useful to futures traders if you can only see stories related to specific...

Thanks for the reply. Correct me if I am wrong but you do not currently give out Reuters real-time news for free either. I thought it was $65/mo. Has this changed?

That's good news. Any plans to add DJ newswires in the future? That would be a good supplement to Reuters if you are able. Thanks.

This was based on a March 2007 story. You can remove your tin foil hat now. Alex Jones is a little extreme sometimes. He also widely covered the "bin Laden put" last year. Not a very credible "news source"...

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I read the original post about Yen and 10 Yr. Not sure which market they were thinking about but the Yen and 10 Yr Note move!

No, the CL we are talking about is the NYMEX futures symbol for Crude Oil.

MetaStock Pro is really just for charting not trading directly. It has access to data for virtually all major exchanges worldwide, including forex.

I think you'll get many on here who disagree with this statement and this will probably turn into more of a religious debate than anything else. I can say from my personal experience that MetaStock Pro is one of the best charting softwares I have used. I'm sure others will disagree but that is...

Well, I can only speak from my personal experience but my OQO model 2 has been a great addition to my trading so far. I mostly use it when out of town but it has also been great for around the house when you don't want to drag a laptop around with you. It has broadband modem, Wifi-A/B/G and...

If you love volatility, check out CL. It was been fantastic trading from both the long and short side the last few weeks.

You have to marvel at Kudlow's math skills... "That's -5" duh!!

Yes, you are reading too much into my reply. I also think that gambling in a casino is ok but that doesn't mean I would recommend it. If you want to watch his videos and trade off of his recommendations go ahead. Ask yourself why there are no data posted about the performance of those calls...

Uh, recommendation? no. I could recommend many other sources and methods for learning technical analysis besides Oscar's videos.

Great advice. To anyone struggling through a drawdown, this is probably the best one piece of advice to save you from a complete blow up. Maybe 6% isn't your magic number but having some limit per month is vital to survival.

Oscar has been discussed on ET ad nauseam since his videos first came out in January 2007. His stuff is ok but the videos are so annoying. I wouldn't trade on anything he puts up much less pay 35/rt or whatever it is to be a part of his "brokerage firm".

Well, his time is fully freed up to play bridge professionally now, not that working at Bear stopped him before or anything...

It is a huge waste of trees really but can't you e-file your return? I thought most CPAs are going all electronic these days.

It has gotten really good with Wireless G. Be sure to enable security features such as MAC address authentication and encryption if you are paranoid (wisely) about security. You don't want your neighbors jumping on your network and surfing your bandwidth for free!

Not if you trade futures only. 60/40 baby.

I have a Wireless G in my house and get a good signal even outside. I get about 3 - 3.5 Mbps throughout the house which is plenty for trading. I also play Xbox 360 network games over it and have not noticed any performance problems. I did have to add a repeater on the far end of the house (I...
