roumeo, Do a search on this website for "forex" and you will find a lot of info about it. One thread that comes to mind is a discussion we had about a year ago. Its here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1210&highlight=forex My vote is for you to run the other...

Haha, well, I'm not THAT old (29), but the commercial came out in the mid 90's...I think he got in trouble with the CFTC over it (imagine that!) and had to pull it. As far as his books go, any one of them looks just like the others. Remember, he is a futures trader (supposedly). First he...

Solly's favorite son, Jack Grubman...rode Worldcom all the way down with a strong buy until last week when he finally put a neutral rating on it...and makes $10mil+ a year for his hard work...ain't this country great!?! On the retail side, I have to say Jake Bernstein probably wins in my book...

I think ktm said it right...there is no free lunch. Remember, the losses and commissions/fees you rack up during the learning stage will have to be paid for first (out of your share of the profits) before you ever see a dime. Its easy for someone new to trading to hear the sales pitch and...

TRADEDOG, I have not used TS brokerage (although I use TS 2000i) but as for IB all I can say is that my ES and NQ executions are excellent. Sometimes I'm filled before my finger leaves the hot key. Since I use limit orders, slippage is not really an issue. I don't think TS could get you...

I went to Google and found the cached pages. It still works but the data is only updated through January 25th 2002. The link is: http://www.market-topology.com/cgi-bin/createminimap.cgi?market=NY&imgtype=checked&name= You get a page asking you to enter the correct symbol. Not sure...

But sabena, you've got it all wrong, the intention of the vendors is to MAKE money not LOSE it. :) If they followed your (very sensible) plan, there would be no one left pay for the advertising in all the great trading magazines... Unfortunately, the gullible masses will always outnumber...

While I agree with Don that most brokerage recommendations are suspect, their industry analysis is usually pretty good. If you are just trying to get an idea of what fundamental factors will move stocks over time in specific sectors then it is a good place to start. Avalanche...PM me with...

Check out the first thread where the discussion started: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3334 [b] Aren't we all! :)

Lojze, You should also do a search on Elite if you haven't already. Use "proprietary" or "professional" or any of the names of the firms (Echo, Bright, etc.). There are several detailed threads over the last year or 2 that deal with pros and cons. Kirk

Ms. Carey, I'm with def on this one too, and I think this year's review was much better than last year's. I confess that I still don't understand why a "high net worth" investor wouldn't want to have the fastest execution at the lowest cost, particularly since with the money saved they can...

Yeah, TradeRX has more than 500 usernames, that oughta be worth something...

I did my undergrad at Auburn University. The cheer Auburn fans yell at an athletic event is "War Eagle!" (don't ask, its a long story...:)) I was on my way to a game the day I joined the site, so I guess its the first thing that came to mind. Kirk

Spec, Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant by "saving" it. My bad. Kirk

This is a little off topic, but I've seen this argument on several threads. I, for one, am glad to see a firm step up to the plate and pay Baron for all of the advertising they get on the boards through regular interaction. The fact is that Bright sponsors this section but an Echo trader...

Dozu, I've been playing around with several demo accounts lately. I've been long the USD/JPY for the last week, no real reason to get out, just keeps going up. I wish the e-mini's trended like this! I only wish there was a better setup where you didn't have to pay a 5 pip spread on every...

Thanks SciTrader, I didn't realize esignal offered forex. I'll check them out. Kirk

Hi all, I've been wanting to test some system ideas on forex data, but am having trouble finding any that will work with TradeStation. Does anyone know of 1) a provider of historical intraday data (minimum of 30 min bars) for the major forex pairs and 2) a realtime data feed that will work...

I did a lot of research on the NQ/QQQ and ES/SPY spreads. Like Tharp said, its very tight, and when it got out of line it reverted quickly. There was a big execution risk on the ETFs. I was looking at it back when the island volume began to pick up, thinking that having electronic execution...

Wow, I never knew that was there. I have Office 2000, so the PC Quote option is not there, now it gets quotes from MSN MoneyCentral (why doesn't that surprise me? :) ) Kirk
