ButtonTrader really isn't very complicated to learn the basics on. I'm a recent user, learned the basics in several hours of playing around. They provide some tools to do just that. Plus you have a simultaneous setting in the software where you can try out ideas as a "paper trade" on actual...

Coulter is a "neocon whore", but the idea that Ewards is a faggot bothers you? LOL! I see your absence wasn't spent on learning any logic was it? OldTrader

This was not exactly a "stuck" issue. This was clicking to enter a buy for example, and literally nothing happening, no colors, no trade entered, nothing "taking" so to speak. Then repeatedly clicking over and over until something finally would happen. And as I said, with the new front end...

What version of TWS is this? I'm still on 866.5 and no change in Booktrader there to my knowledge. Either way, with my current version, and the version before, I had periodic episodes where clicking on Booktrader produced no order. Sometimes it would take multiple clicking....very...

Don't know anything about NinjaTrader. I heard alot of good things about Button Trader, which is what pushed me that way. They each have websites you can look over though. OldTrader

I'd be a little cautious with BookTrader. I used this from the beginning. But in the recent couple of weeks, you could click on it to make a trade, and nothing would happen. Several clicks, nothing. Enough clicks and eventually it would work. This happened periodically. I reported it to...

I haven't had any of these types of difficulties the last several days. Maybe you got some other type of problem. Everything smooth except for BookTrader, which I replaced with ButtonTrader. OldTrader

Why don't you just put for money into T-Bills? You can open an account online with the US Treasury. No state taxes on T-Bills. They direct deposit right into your bank account when the bills mature, and debit your bank account when you buy T-Bills. No activity fees. All your money working...

You're looking at the March 1 data, which is showing the overnight range up to now. What you need to look at is the previous session....just use your link then click on previous session. That shows the 24 hour range. I show the low today (2/28) during RTH at 60.30, high 62.05. That's a range...

I was having a problem with clicking period to get an order in. I entered a troubleshooting order with them concerning the problem. They quickly got back to me to tell me they couldn't duplicate the problem. LOL! I think it's a bug. I went to a different front end....BookTrader.... no...

That would be my opinion. Check the volume on things like corn, crude oil and gold on the NYMEX. You'll be surprised at the volume. The thing is, there's large volume in enough electronic contracts that I can't think of many reasons to trade with the pit. OldTrader

LOL! I could have sworn I read "IB" in his original post....guess not. It doesn't really surprise me though that other firms aren't real time in their margin. It's gonna catch em one of these days. Personally though, I'm never close enough to the edge that the margin differential makes a...

OK, maybe I misspoke. I follow corn for instance....ZC...no charge. ZC is the electronic symbol. I'm trading gold (GC at the Nymex, pit and electronic), crude oil (CL at the NYMEX, pit and electronic), bonds and notes, etc., all active contracts, all electronic, at no charge. Now if you're...

I've been trading crude for a while. Started with QM, switched to CL recently. Great market, lots of volatility and opportunity. I'm not scalping per se...rather, trying to get on board the intraday swings as they present themselves. Primarily a technician. I like to try to figure out...

At your age, if I were you, I'd go to school. The markets will always be there. Your school is going to make you more marketable, whether you actually know anything or not. If you've got some spare dough, try some trading on the side while you're in school. OldTrader

Are you sure it's a "margin charge"? Did they call it that on your statement? I'm guessing that it is your loss from the closing price to the execution price. But maybe I'm wrong. By the way, if you fund your account low, with the idea that you think you have time to wire the...

I traded all day with no problem. OldTrader

Except that if you use ButtonTrader it functions off of IB data. I don't see why you wouldn't subscribe...it doesn't cost anything. OldTrader

Nice trade, excellent patience. OldTrader

I'm guessing that when you use the term "resistance" in your post, what you mean is "support". I mention it because the incorrect use of these terms makes your post difficult to understand. OldTrader
