    Hey ahole in ZN

    The "1000 lot spoofer types" not only have enough money to back up their 1000 lot spoofs, but more than enough money to feed you a few more 1000 lots. Read the available articles about Paul Rotter AKA "The Flipper".

    commissions

    If your futures broker is good enough to give profitable advice, then why is he a broker and not a successful trader? Paying $35 RT for futures is a fast way to empty out your account. For example, 5 RTs a day amounts to $175 a day, $875 a week and $45,500 a year. You can't pay that much...

    E-Trade + TT_Trader = Reliable for futures?

    e*trade uses MF Global as the FCM. $2.99 a side plus exchange fees is highway robbery. Plenty of FCMs out there to choose from.
