:D :D :D I'm laughing at myself... I have to admit up front that if the conversation turns to options strategies and spreads, I'm toast. But I can suggest some other participants in those arenas for you to contact. You know, I'd hate to leave you unfulfilled. :)

There was a poll several weeks ago about how much people make. Whether or not it was answered honestly I don't know. You might look there sdtrader. I'm curious if you have found a site that is consistently visited by traders you feel are your contemporaries. I have to laugh a bit because if...

What is the SVS? Edited after the following post: thx!

There is an article discussing much of what I said above that just came up on CBSMarketwatch.com a few minutes ago about first-time homebuyers being house poor.

Nice thread! I think the input will be limited but very informative. I'm guessing with Esignal you could chart the DAX. Or maybe with Excel and IB you could chart. Hmmmm!

Excellent Z. I am interested in your journal as it represents a philosophy closer to mine. For me, overall trading enjoyment comes not from taking little bites here and there all day, but big chunks at one time, fewer times. Click click click click click click.... who needs it? Some do, and...

I thought new home sales were down. Maybe for this month they were back up. BTW, what is the historic earnings multiple for this sector? This discussion is an excellent one and actually has taken place in other words elsewhere on ET. There is a scenario developing that we have not seen...

Found it! Ah yes and there is always a logical reason. I created a new page and called it , oddly enough, "Futures". I entered ES on that page and viola, c'est ici. So I went back to the chat help on IB and the guy said I probably have "Quick Stock Entry" checked on the other page and so it...

Thanks profitseer. I was going to set up and try the Quah trade method. I followed it real time before I went on vacaton and it did well. The results last week were consistent as before. So I was using Bracket to preset the stoploss and profit target entries. And as I look right now at the...

Thanks guys. My page looks like yours Andy except for the GLOBEX line $10 etc. Magna the US Futures box is checked like you suggested. It makes feel better that Magna doesn't have the GLOBEX option to check either. Maybe I'm not such a loser. Maybe everything will be okay. I did...

Hey Andy thanks, I must have the child-proof version, there is no GLOBEX to check. It looks like I could trade from just about anywhere else in the world though. Where on the list is GLOBEX?

I double-checked to be sure everything was correct. The account type is Stocks, Stock Options, And Futures - Margin. The data subscriptions are Non-professional US Securities and Commodities Exchanges, and ACE. I don't see a GLOBEX. :(

How silly of me. It was the question mark at the end of "heh" that made me think "heh?" was a question. In fact, I am unable to say "heh?" Is it pronounced like... "heh, how about that?" Because as we have discussd previously, it is an open mouth sound. A word punctuated with a question mark...

I'll take that heh? as an invitation to explain more fully. :) I downloaded Bracket Trader the other day and installed it. Today I thought I would familiarize myself with it. With nothing else running, I logged on to TWS. I checked the "enable ActiveX". I started Bracket Trader. As...

I have downloaded Bracket Trader and set things up properly. Just to check that they were working together, I placed a Sell at Limit order for PG at 130 just several minutes ago. Clearly away from the market just in case this very scenario developed. When I cancel the order either via BT or...

Quah, Just to be sure, I meant absolutely no criticism of your great method by suggesting that order entry would be the weak link. I know my limitations and can see myself fumbling around, ultimately ending up long about 20 contracts as the market is tanking! Oooops, my bad. Perhaps I...

I knew entry would be a weak link. And then trading two different contracts. Of course while Quah is trading he is also playing the piano and knitting a sweater! But don't let that influence anyone else from trying this!!! :D :D Let's see, if I hire an assistant, and trade 5 cars instead of...

etrader the amount of 1-2 ticks in futures is good enough, on both sides of the trade. Whatever the value of one tick is re: the contract you are looking at. But you must also keep in mind the spread between the bid and ask. For example the spread between the bid and ask for a gold contract...

Btw, both copies are registered. No piracy here.

I have XP Home installed on two computers, both running multiple monitors. One has two separate video cards. One has two cards but one of the cards is a dual head card. Either I am lucky, or must disagree with gnome.
