Still way cheaper than eSignal. They said that the new software (for IB) to enable free CME futures data should be here in about a week.

I heard it was genetic. Most people need to get 8 hours in order to function. Maybe 6 hours if you train yourself. But 4 or less, you need to be genetically endowed. Probably something to do with the amount of REM sleep one needs.

Leveraged ETFs are rebalanced daily so there is an attrition there that takes away from the return. I was looking at FAS and how it never recovered fully after a downturn even tho the Russell 1000 had reached new highs.

Thanks for posting. It's like a mini-drama. In the beginning, the hope. Then reality strikes as you slowly start losing. You redeposit with determined resolution. But keep losing. Redeposit. Lose. Wait, a big score, I've figured it out. No, another loss, when will I learn...

Following link has more details on she worked the system. Joan-Ginther-Maths-professor-hits-multi-million-scratchcard-lottery-jackpot-4-times According to some locals, she had a deal with the owner of the Bishop store where she bought three of the winning cards. Whenever a new shipment of...

Cmon, give the guy a break. He read this, now's it just a matter of time before the cash rolls in.

I'm not talking about the hardware people. There are different levels of IT people. The money is in data analysis and software engineering. You're right that it's rare to make the transition. I would think the majority of IT folks are conservative by nature. Deciding to move to trading...

I've known a number of IT guys who have made the transition to business. But then again some of them were Goldman guys and others were just too smart, they would have succeeded at whatever they did. The crappy thing about IT on Wall Street is that they don't get the big bucks. Need to...

Another good one. Steve Jobs in action at NeXT. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sOlqqriBvUM?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed...

No money in IT? I discussed this in the past with colleagues that there is probably no other profession that pays as much as IT without an advanced degree. I'm talking jobs that average, competent people can find work in. Not trading which is really just for the elite. If you got 7-8 years...

Since NYSE went hybrid, don't you think the specialist has much less influence? It's more like Nasdaq now. I recall this being discussed in older threads but can't recall the details. Right now, I do make sure to route to NYSE but I use ARCA/ECNs premarket activity to determine which stocks...

I understand that. Many times, my OPG limit orders are priced greater than what is needed to execute the trade. This is based on the envelope prices. But even then if I did get the opening price, I would expect that the price action would gravitate toward the FV price more strongly than it...

Echo seems to be closer to what OP needs. Bright doesn't do 100% payout, Echo does 100%. Wants 20k to open account, Echo does 10k. Commission is more expensive.

I've been trading the strategy with 200-300 lots using IB. Some observations, - profitable, but have to do due diligence to eliminate stocks in the "news" or influence by moving sectors. Oil stocks can be dangerous. Better to remove questionable ones then have them go against you. -...

Pretty cool case but a trader needs at least 3 monitor :D. Otherwise, a laptop would probably be a better choice. One of those tiny mITX computers with a SSD drive. Main storage is QNAP NAS (network available data, RAID safety) using gigabit ethernet. At least 3 LCDs mounted on a Ergotron...

Consolidation? Thought maybe it had to something to do with expiration. Just kinda weird. Almost like manipulation. I also took a loss today so just kinda pissed.

Russell emini hasn't budged from open price of 718 since 2:50pm EST. (give or take .5 points)

There are about $400 in data charges per month which you can get covered by trading 400k shares/mth. Just S7. Basically they said if you don't trade 400k shares/mth it's prob not worth it to go with them.

Thanks mark1. Those are good enough reasons to pay the $29.99/month. I was on platinum (real-time data) for $97/mth but wasn't really using the real time scanner now that I have Trade-Ideas for free from ScottTrade. Ads for the free version are a PIA but not saving your work is just as bad...

I pay for TC2000.com with the delayed feed which costs $29.99/month. Any reason I should not just cancel and go with freestockcharts.com?
