    What's your favorite trading software?

    Open ECry - been using for awhile now, easy to use, has many features once you really dig into it, each upgrade gets better. Data/platform free to live accounts. DOM structure/flow very nice as well, w/ many options there too. Too much stuff to list in 1 post, it's just been a good package...

    multi pc question

    Data feeds are really tiny in terms of usage - but there are plenty of freeware programs out there that will track your usage so you can see for yourself.

    Market Profile opens your eyes !

    Another rock solid post that shows price is going up or down. That's impressive. How does one get fancy charts which show price is going up or down? Is that exclusive to the French?

    Is IB safe enough to use as a bank for > 500,000 USD?

    And how strong is that insurance from the govt anyways? Wouldn't that make for some interesting trading - FDIC goes belly up, ma and pa are out of luck. I kid, that would never happen. Right?

    Future Broker

    If you are demo'ing software out, might as well include Open ECry into the mix. Platform gets better w/ each upgrade. Latest upgrade was a big one to the EL editor. http://www.openecry.com

    The Surf Report--part 2

    So do you short when the ppf's start to print knowing those will move as the market moves against that position? And do you use stops or just hang on knowing eventually that label will be correct?

    Franz - you've always been the king of the simulator, which has been discussed on ET many times over. Starting from your Traders International trash to your own trash now. You still calling your guys on the floor/pits? L O L Is there a CME simulation floor you call? Since it's...

    Market Data with Ameritrade

    Depends on your broker. For example, Open ECry does not charge live accounts a data fee. Platform and data is free, which is a big cost saver IMO. http://www.openecry.com Prior to using OEC I was using a mix of T4 (for dom), a data vendor and something for charting. T4 alone was $500/mo at...

    Top Ten Tax Loopholes

    The savings rate in the US is bad enough w/ this 'loophole' if you remove the incentive for people to save, can you imagine what that would do? It's hard enough as it is WITH this tax incentive to get people to save, remove that and might as well just plan on everyone working till they are...

    question for Russell (TF) experts

    Well said. If you are trading size, it's hard to beat the ES. You usually will not suffer from slippage; whereas trading size on the TF could get tricky. From there, it's a matter of looking at the charts and working the numbers. For example, is it better for your trading style to trade say 5...

    day trading at 16?

    And the other side of the coin - go ahead and try. Even if it's virtual dollars, you should try and continue to try. Maybe you'll be a quick study, nobody knows, incl this jerkoff saying don't try. Maybe it'll take awhile, but starting young puts time on your side. Anyone that shoots...

    Don Miller Good Video

    It's hard to say exactly how his style works w/o talking to those that have purchased his course. The youtube videos are interesting, but what is the ultimate goal of those videos? To educate or show you a p/l of $5k+ and then you email/pick up the phone. I don't recall if we've seen anyone on...
