voltrader the really big guys have no interest in retail traders - and PATS are a new company and are trying to get their business model right - they need the clearers more than the clearers need PATS - but the reality is that all have to work hand in hand better and faster trading makes...

travisdu but which of these have you analysed so that you know they are tradeable and you know you can trade them and give a specific example with the problem as you see it - the people who can advise you - by extensiion might not see the problem you have - these contracts have been traded...

travisdu why dont u just post one or two examples of the exact queries you have - and you will more than likely find the answers you need these things are not secret - but you need to ask a specific question - to get a specific answer and you may well do best to make sure that the ones...

wild when u say isn't bad - what do u mean? would you consider it as good as CQG?

traderfut 2000 re price - within reason i would rather have the best data and charting, as long as the cost is economic relative to my trading data and charting are key to supporting the trading decisions i dont care if i pay 100 times the amount of anther charting and data supplier...

there are issues about non acceptance of automatic orders - but the definition is so difficult to achieve and enforce - that it is not impacting on trading - but there is a lot of weight to stop automatic orders

nixodian but the quotes on your platform at not the same as the prices you would get from IB- all you are getting is delayed IB pricing ( if what yu have said is true) and also delayed data from the exchanges - the engine that would drive their own pricing is from the data they recieve -...

i am using a dell 1 ghz with 512K of ram - would more ram really help - i think it would be wrong to say i have a problem, as i do have a lot of charts open - but my real point was not that i was looking to solve a problem - merely asking if this would be a good time to change to XP - is any...

i dont feel that negativity about any posts is a bad thing, especialy a) if it gives a balance to positive commnents so that any new trader does not get the wrong idea, b) it provokes further thought, c) supports the idea of democracy my postive comment would be that i would love to make 20...

Jeanmichel Why did you post your message? - most people post to ask questions - so what was the point of your first post? you are obvioulsy a superb and very rich trader - but i suspect for the average trader - your system will chop them up so much - that they will end up very very poor

have used 2000 up to now - no problems with it - except i use a lot of charts and run out of resources - i dont even know if this is an issue with 2000 or the rest of my setup - but i know it was an issue with 98 anway, will have to change to XP one day - is this the day or should i hang on

wild you dont trade indexes?

the point is that there is no point trading something where there is little information about it - since, in general, the amount of information is an indication of the liquiidity and therefore profit potential the act of the trading is the key to learn - so why bother learning about...

Merkur You cannot integrate Pats with excel and they have no plans to initiate integration Some form of integration - by default may be possible with OTTO on CQG when and if it is interfaced to a PATS broker - but then it would be using CGQ data and not Globex direct

jem have you tried your local library or bookshop? there is an important issue here - between the marketing of derivatives with their high leverage - and therefore potential for loss - and the freedom for all to enjoy the potential reward i suspect currently the right balance exits -...

a) when will there be a multi-currency account, that means that the same account money could automatically be used to trade on the cme, liffe and eurex - so that the margin does not have to be applied from seperate acccounts in the currency of the product traded - b) and also when could the one...

nixodian "because for many nasdaq stocks they fill your order from their own inventory" do you mean by this that you believe IB sell you stock they are holding themselves and do this directly, so that they are giving you a worse price than they same stock - if you had bought it on a...

Catoosa Thanks for checking, but i guess the problem on IB is because of either the extra number of changes in data on a fast move, causing problems technically for IB or their computer systems getting overloaded with orders in fast moving markets, and those same computers prioritising the...

macal425 i think you are agreeing with me! which is great as i have not used IB yet, but I am about to - and whilst i take the point absolutly of others on the forum - that the quotes on the IB platform should be correct and they should get them correct - i still remember the days of phoning...
