Makes total sense. Credit card only charges him 18% or so whereas the market has 100% UP ROOM TO GO :D -Fast

My eSignal was working just fine. My broker's feed was working great as well. -Fast

I'm there. -Fast

It happens man; don't worry about it too much. I had a -4 pt day last week. As long as you learned from it, it should be seen as a good thing. Better to make mistakes now playing 1-2 lots, than down the road when you're doing 50s. -Fast

Awash, were you watching the market all day? If so, how come no shorts? -Fast

And small lots took preference :D -Fast

I don't understand why you guys tolerate this kind of service when better brokers with same rates as IB are available. -Fast

50% of exchange set would mean $1K per ES since CME intraday margin req. is $2K per ES. -Fast

I believe the $3.32 is all inclusive. Their fee is $1.00 r/t. $2.32 is the exchange fee. If you really want cheap commissions, you could lease a seat on the CME and still trade thru FFastTrade. I think the commission gets dropped to $1.40 rt or something like that. And I think the Globex...

1.75 pts bro, 1.75! If you decide to use $10K/contract on ES and shoot for 1 ES pt per contract. That's 0.5% return per day. 250 trading days; and lets say you're profitable on 75% of the days...well, it's a decent return on investment. And I'm not starting a FUND...but you can invest in my...

Wish I had that kinda bank roll :D

surfer, makes sense. I have linnear regression channels on my charts, and I'm doing almost the opposite of what you do (maybe thats why Im losing money, LOL). I short when price goes outside the top LR line; and go long when price breaks down through the bottom LR line. Price tends to...

Check out the free trial of their platform here: http://www.register.ffasttrade.com/ Btw, I haven't heard anything negative about FFastTrade and that in itself is a very good thing in this industry. -Fast

Thats the benefit of having a LARGE account. You can get away with a lot of trades similar to this one :D -Fast

marketsurfer, the neo gann channel on the Dow is around 150 pts wide from 10650 down to 10500. Do you think this is the most efficient way to trade? I mean, you're missing a lot of action because you're only trading channel breaks in either direction and staying flat in the middle (150 pts)...

You obviously like Bonds over ES. Why? :D -Fast

lsu, this has been happening for quite some time so don't expect things to get better any time soon. You do enough volume to get better service and better commission. In your situation, I think FFastTrade would be the ideal solution. -Fast (not affiliated with FFastTrade or anyone else for...

Wally; I actually thought about that in the morning and discussed it with lsudaytrade, who I was in touch with most of the trading day via AOL IM. He got a nice short in before the announcement and did pretty well today :) I have to say, I was not expecting the sell off to be this strong...

I think he's referring to your attitude, which comes off as negative. Why call everyone shorting a moron? Were you long ES when the fed announced? -Fast
