    What is it about futures that make them harder than stocks?

    I could see the advantage of both sides... stocks - depending on how you screen, you could easily find the ones moving and in play every day. No need to focus on just a handful of stocks. futures - if you can trade them profitably, could make more there w/ less money needed to fund the...

    Data Sources For the ES - free or cheap ?

    http://www.openecry.com Get a demo of Open Ecry's software (free for 2 weeks I think). After that, either open an account and it's free or it's 25 bucks a month I think. That INCLUDES real-time data.

    A not too expensive TA software please

    OEC's charting has come a long way and can be a great option if it does what you need. Doesn't sound like you need a lot, so it could work. I would download a demo and check it out.

    OPEN E CRY down again !!!

    Not around the ET block. Check when screen names were made. So you have 2 new screen names claiming connection issues, while those w/ more than a handful of posts are saying just the opposite. Therefore... sounds like someone has a grudge to grind or has an issue on their side. It's not on...

    Futures I Trade Show & Brooks Book

    I came across Al last year through this Ishow thing and he's got some interesting stuff. Now there's a book, so we'll see what's going on there. Look forward to some reviews on the book.

    OPEN E CRY down again !!!

    2 brand new screen names have connection issues while those of us that have been around the block have no issues... hmm.... :confused: Is someone mad at OEC or something and trying to stir the pot when there's nothing there to stir?

    Futures I Trade Show & Brooks Book

    The Futures I-Trade Show is currently going on and a presenter there is Al Brooks. I think there might have been a discussion about his ideas on here. While clicking around, I found that he has a book for sale now as well. I have it on order to take a look at it. These online events are...

    FREE ES Trading Strategy that works

    Donkee- if you were to look at other markets to trade this on, what tick setting would you use? Could 1000 work across the board or is that unique to the ES?

    No More Afternoons for Me

    After years & thousands of dollars in trading, the single greatest thing I did to save money and create more was to stop trading by 12pm EST. I'm up and trading at 8am EST (bonds/currencies), indexes (930am) and continue trading till 12pm EST. I view 1 trading day as 3 completely...

    Can't connect to TRADESTATION's Trading Servers

    My understanding is that OEC has a module which will pull signals out of TS for execution, they also allow users to upload Easy language or code in Easy Language/C# and run that inside the Charts in “Auto Trade Mode” through the custom indicators. For more information, I would contact OEC...

    Bulls vs Celtics - game seven

    I'm not sure who I want to win b/c they could end up facing the Cavs. Celts = defending champs w/ a lot of experience, but old and NO Garnett. Bulls = young w/ little experience, but they are fighters to the end. Underdog mentality for sure. So I have no idea who I would want to...

    Index Margin requriments?

    That's not exactly accurate as some brokers view ANY trades outside of RTH as 'overnight'. There are a few threads around here on this subject somewhere, but I think it was mentioned that IB was an example of a firm doing this. Might have changed by now, so have to check w/ your broker.

    Way to go car unions - GM cuts 21,000 jobs

    I agree, not a fan of unions in today's environment. They worked hundreds of years ago when you could go to work and easily die. Now, they just drain the system and crush American icons.
