So because you hadnt studied AND understood the movement, it's a scam. You trusted your broker who proved to be ill-knowledgable... All these ET'rs keep telling you THEY KNOW the difference because THEY STUDY... You just dont get it. You are salty over a $1400 loss that was based on your...

A broker that doesnt know how the markets move makes me nervous as well. For those who take issue with his use of point versus tick.... From CBOT's site..... Ergo 1/32 point = 1 tick.. not 1 point = a tick... So it does matter, you wouldn't call a byte a bit and expect the "same"...

And Very wide spreads. I have seen spreads as wide as 1-1/2 points over night on grains. Volume wise it's about 70-80% lower than the comparable day session

Thankyou. I looked at a 1 minute chart and saw the spike. You know it was a FAST "darn near instantaneous" move. He needs to stop whining. Lick his wounds and Just trade the pit. It's obvious that is the chart he watches.... Side by side doesnt mean exactly the same.. Hell, even at close...

I am still on java 1.5 (mac) on my XP install I am 1.6 and yes it is extremely slow to log in, etc... under 1.5 it was nice and zippy...

Yes, I use limit orders for my stops (I profit target my forex.) I dont see stop hunting as an issue. I have tracked IB's forex data feed in comparison to Tullets Forex feed via DTNIQ and it accurately tracks the price. I dont see a Tullet price of say 118.65 and an IB price of 118.59 (when I...

I launch it via the .jnlp file. (I am on a mac of course) They call it the browser version, but it's the same code. It's just how your system accesses it. I downloaded the .jnlp file to my desktop and I luanch it from there. I never launch from the browser. The "platform" version is merely the...
