    Exchange Membership

    Exchange membership is truly a function of your volume while trading products covered by the type of membership you buy. In other words, if you are doing 5 turns per day on average, then it might not make sense to buy a seat or lease one. However, anyone doing 1000+ turns per month will be...

    I have loved it since I started using it. I have it set to check the time every hour to keep its accuracy. It has so many options. http://www.softshape.com/software/desktop/chamclock/features/

    Live News Service, Free

    I have 3 feeds for audio news. I have never been impressed with Trade The News, but many swear by them. Out of all three, I still think that Need To Know News is the most consistent and quicker with breaking news. The hold brothers feed sometimes picks up on stories that NTKN doesn't, but I...

    Edit Post Notation !!!

    One thing you can probably do is to Quote reply to the trade message with the original time and date. This way, if the poster changes it, it won't disappear. I prefer to have the 60 mins to edit my messages, but it just means that I have to double check before sending. I don't post any trades.

    Dell Dimension 4600 Factory Problem

    Just start by calling them and describing the problem. I don't know what "wild" means. Most of the PS's have loud fans. The new PS I put into the 4600's are quiet and have speed control depending on the temp inside the case.

    switching from cable to DSL

    Funny. I have had experience with 3 cable providers and my story is the exact opposite. I believe cable is a lot less reliable than DSL. It all depends on the provider and the location.

    expiration on futures

    Your long contract is matched with an available inventory of short contracts by the clearing corporation. Once your contract has expired in futures, you take delivery per the settlement instructions depending on the contract and you no longer own that contract. Each contract has its own rules...

    Best feed for Futures Options trading..

    CQG has the absolute best data feed available. It rivals data provided by Bloomberg in many fields. This is really where the money goes. It is solid across most markets whereas the others are strong with US data but might be weak with European futures or cash data.

    Dell Dimension 4600 Factory Problem

    Hi folks, I thought I would warn those of you who own Dimension 4600's regarding the power supply (PS). My 4600's decide to not start up last weekend at the same time. We had a power outage which should not have effected the PS on both machines. My newer 4700's are fine. I have a power...

    switching from cable to DSL

    As described by the others, it should be quite simple. You won't need to do anything to your computers or to the cables connecting them to the router. All you have to do is remove the cable modem and replace it with the DSL modem. You will then have to go into your router and change the type of...

    expiration on futures

    If the contract expires and you are still holding it, then your clearing firm will debit or credit your account for the value of the contract at the settlement price on expiration. So if you are long 1 ES at 1230.00 and it settled at 1280 on expiration day (3rd Friday of December, March, June...

    Why is your CQG 1200 per month? What exchanges and add-ons must you have? That seems a bit high.

    Who to pay in Chicago to order and set up my computer system at my house?

    I looked at the post by Lakka that you refer to. You don't need a special harddrive to trade. You can trade using a standard computer setup with 3 GHz processor and at least 512MB of RAM. SBCGlobal has great DSL service. It is very reliable in Chicago. If you are searching for tech help and...
