Thanks for the response guys. Maybe ET should get it together with a real time data/charting set up it seems like there are a number of people around here that could make it go over very well. Talk to ya later.

In the end it is really what they say. You get what you pay for. Happy Trails People:D

Can anyone post where to find a good site where one can find symbols for sector indexs such as home builders, computer box makers, drug manufacturers etc. Seems easy to find the main symbols for the primary indexes like the SOX, BTK, and GSO etc but the sub sectors are a little more tricky...

I am in the same boat with you making a transition over to Futures but further up the river. Before you risk any capital use a real time simulator and trade it like it was real. I've been using FFastrades simulator which lasts about a week and their platform is a no brainer. However I believe...

Yeah I agree with you guys very much there talent seems to have gone else where or they just don't pay their people. I finally spoke to a girl on Friday who was somewhat enthusiastic but for the most part you get the service rep who talks to you like he's been on an all night runaway and would...

Can anyone out there shed some light on recent lags in data especially Friday. It seems that when the market excellerates their data and charts response go for crap. To the point that things / system seem to stall at times. Now either its their data and I've heard this in the past thats not...

Now that your post was reworded check out FFasttrade if you havn't already. I've been trying their Futures real time simulator with very good results and there has been no issue to date re a Canadian account status. Hope this helps. Happy Trails

I guess it depends on the platform that comes along with the broker. After youv'e checked them out personnal preferences will decide but ultimately commish and cust service play a heavy decision. How did you square off with IB. I'm currently using them and so far so good. Although a backup...

Looks like the rides not over. So tell me can we presume Dow 5000. Just a thought.

Thanks every body for sharing your thoughts. Paper trading is certainly not without its draw backs as well as some simulators as I'm finding out. Going to try FFastrade's simulator for a short bit to see if that system helps with things and strategies. Yes trading certainly is a game of psych...

Can any one out there give some info on where to go to find some no bs good info and strategies on trading the mini's. I've been using the simulator of PFG's for the last two weeks with good results on the S&P's but as simulators go they are not without their problems. Thanks People

Yes how can one call them traders when they can't take their own methods and apply them. At least when starting out I was able to see this trap, pay me a monthly fee and I'll show you the riches. Its been a better learning experience taking the free stuff and siftinng through the crap and...

Hey Spark I wonder if you know of a good web site for info on learning the ins and outs of trading the S&P and Nas e minis. All the help I could get would be much appreciated. As I have heard there is sufficient risk to them but decent returns if done properly. Thanks :D

Shorting plays a large part of the daily stream and doing it properly takes a lot of practice to get your exact fills and no trades that zing right buy because you have missed out on the uptick. Still learning but things are getting better all the time. Strange enough I find shorting easier at...

Realist this is a good reminder to go visit a trading firm. I was talking to a firm manager and got an invit to go in and check it out. Like gg many times I would find myself being so bummed by the day and loses that I couldn't figure out where to turn. So having to spend time and re-evaluate...

Interesting story gordon. I'm a new guy with only a year on the books and still have managed to pay for my education through making less than intelligent moves. I never had the pleasure to trade in strictly a bull market as many of you have and maybe it has helped the trading methodoligy...
