    Anyone trade Canadian mining companies?

    I invest in many uranium mining firms and a few gold/silver companies. Canada has some of the largest resources in the world for these commodities based on the mines already in existence.

    Quad LCD Monitor Stands

    The quad setup for 19" is very expensive. You can have the same setup with Dell 1905FP's and stand for around $1600.

    Tell me about the DAX...

    Did you not know that crude numbers were coming out? The sell off started a bit earlier than that though, but I think it is driven by crude.

    1% Range for a month

    I agree. Times like these force the bigger sharks to try to swim in the same small pond of water and it gets tougher for the small guy. I'm sure you have noticed more faking in the YM now.

    EMD SEP vs Cash

    Do you know what the point value of dividends is? It seems to be pretty close to me based on 3.51% interest and closing cash value of 683.96 when the futures were at 688.70 at that time.

    LCD vs CRT for trading

    I would follow some of the threads on monitors and LCD's here and get some recommendations. Personally, for value, I like Dell, Samsung and a couple of Planar models. I don't like LG, Viewsonics or others. You can go high end with NEC, Eizo and others but it is not really needed if you are...

    Money Management and Dynamic Intraday Position sizing

    I scalp, so my risk management is not automated but is strictly followed. As I have said before on various threads, we always start small (eg. 2-3 lots and click many times :) ) and build a base for the morning. This minimizes my risk and provides me with a feel of the kind of flow the day will...

    A funny conversation i had

    The typical prop business model once executed is what provides liquidity and profits for your friend. True prop firms have a high turnover and deep pockets. They are usually backed by former pit traders who made good money but can't handle the screens or aggressiveness in the pit. Your...

    Best real-time charts for scalping.

    I agree with you if Fast Cash is a part of his scalping tools. CQG is very good with this because the feed is fast and reliable. However, they don't have a single-line fast cash. You just get the quotes and create it with DDE and Excel. Unless this is necessary, I would still recommend IQFeed or...

    LCD vs CRT for trading

    I would disagree wtih you here. The backlight and display may be made by a few manufacturers, but what really counts is the actual warranty, interface design, number of dead pixels, the quality of the stand and customer service. I usually stick with Dell because of the frequency of coupon...

    Best real-time charts for scalping.

    You have plenty of options. Unless you plan on placing your scalping orders right from the charting interface, then you can save a lot of money by going with a "low-powered" solution like Ensign with IQFeed. Generally, if you are only scalping, you are just looking for the overall pattern...

    Jun DAX volume at 4597

    If all that volume was done at one price in that short a time, then it is a block-trade or cross trade (most likely a cross trade). Here is the definition of what that is: [/i] This is not extraordinary and an outright trade of that magnitude is highly unlikely in the FDAX. There is no...

    Spoke to one of the principles today (an old friend) and they have completely folded a while ago. I hope that helps you in some way.

    Go with 2 dual PCI cards as gnome suggests. I would not spend the money on a quad card unless you are short on expansion slots on your motherboard.

    I never traded NYSE when I traded equities. I wasn't familiar with this organization. Thanks. Any idea why this happened? Is it technical?
