    Ticks, points - what am I missing??

    The ES, which is the e-mini contract, trades in .25 increments @ $12.50/tick and there are 4 ticks in 1 point. One point equals $50. If you are talking about the pit contract, no idea so sorry if this is not what you were looking for.

    How to get pre-IPO shares

    Having been a broker myself, I will suggest that $500k is not going to be enough to get on the 'list'. You may get a bone thrown to you now and again, but even if ALL your assets were at ONE firm, I don't think you'd be very high the list. The good, juicy IPO's are going to require 7 figures as...

    The National Football League-that was the week that was

    The important thing is they got it right. That's what counts. Perhaps they will change this offseason about that being an unreviewable play. Today was a great example why it should be. And tonight's game had another odd field goal with the field goal camera being hit on a kick.

    And Da Browns pull it out! Did you see that odd fieldgoal? That was kinda cool since it went for us.

    Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

    JJ - I noticed that the Open ECry charting as a Momentum Oscillator but it mainly hovers around 100, not 1 like yours. Do you know if this is the same with a different number scale? Example from this morning: How would you interpret that, if at all? This could be something completely...

    POLL: If you could give one piece of advice to a new trader

    I would chose - don't waste time creating polls on elitetrader and stalking Timmy Sykes.

    I'm done trading. I FAILED

    Good luck in what you do PD. Good advice here. Just one observation and more so for any others reading this that are new to trading - expecting to conquer the trading game in less than 12 months is simply not adequate time. Some will do it, but it's very hard to not only win, but also win...

    Kickvote

    So the idea to clean the forum up is to encourage those about to be 'kickvoted' to go around telling people to vote for them? :confused: Yes, that should clean the forum right up. You think there's a lot of useless threads here now....

    Futures and IRAs

    Not true. Most brokers have the ability to offer futures trading in an IRA, but your account will need to be housed at an IRA custodian that the broker works with. For example, Open ECry uses 3 custodian firms that can hold your IRA and trade futures at OEC. I believe Dorman uses...

    Who's Stupid, Me or Fidelity?

    I think your point makes sense Chad and in futures, many trading platforms allow a trailing stop regardless if long or short. Unfortunately I think you spoke with an uninformed rep that didn't get it.

    The National Football League-that was the week that was

    And did anyone happen to catch the best game on Sunday? Browns in OT beat the Seahawks. :D Nice come from behind win at home. Anderson keeps producing. This guy convinces more and more people every week that he's an NFL starter. I'm now seeing spots on ESPN jumping on this...

    The National Football League-that was the week that was

    It sucks b/c the Colts/Pats are BLACKED out in Cleveland b/c of that stupid rule that you can't show another game when the home team is playing. I get it, but let's make an exception this weekend fellas! Off to the bar it looks like. :D As for our game, the Browns take this one easily...
