    Would you like a Position Trading forum on ET?

    Daytraders are essentially short term speculators or market makers. What this fellow seems to be looking for is a forum for short to intermediate speculators - not investors. I don't see the problem. I believe ET is a forum for speculators of all time frames. Perhaps I am wrong...

    IB/Realtick deal?

    Does real tick have a feature which measures "trade rate" in real time? QCharts has this and it is very handy. Within a quote sheet I get a list of stocks with the highest trade rate which I can then sort by various columns. I looked at Hotrend but that seems to involve alot more...

    E-minis afterhours trading

    I've been looking in to Europe mkts. But my overnight trades tend to be swing trades and don't require heavy liquidity. Also I dont want to make a habit of trading overnight as I have found it leads to decreased performance during the day.

    E-minis afterhours trading

    I trade overnight off and on depending on market action. Typically not much goes on until 2-3 am when Europe markets open. Stick with the emini s&p for liquidity. The nasdaq eminis really dont have liquidity until 730am or so. I would just watch the action for awhile until you get a sense...

    1000 QQQ SSF trading is better than NQ.

    IB doesn't have it on the system. My guess is they are trying to figure out what the implications will be if they charge $1 a contract for such a large underlying value. It might end up cannibalizing their NQ biz.

    1000 QQQ SSF trading is better than NQ.

    your argument falls apart when you consider daytrading margins for nq. Using daytrading margins of $1100 for nq a trader could trade 5 nq contracts for every 1000 QQQ ssf. Or am I missing something?
