    web based email - what is the best

    It is possible to use OE or Tbird with Gamil - alternatively just use web interface. Everyone I know is happy to use the web interface. 1c

    stop limit order (how often)?

    Lonley, You have the right/left clicks correct but be careful, stops entered lik this on JTrader are simulated - they reside on your PC and may result in additional slippage (vs native stops - which are entered by filling in a trade dialogue).

    LSE broker (daytrading)

    ditto petteri's comments but if you must daytrade, consider using spreadbetting to avoid stamp duty. Cantorindex, CMCmarkets & finspreads spring to mind. good luck

Select the cell and the ones below it that need filled and select fill odwn from the edit (I think) menu. This also works for...

    SPX Credit Spread Trader

    I've been lurking on this thread for a while and wonder if I may be allowed to ask a question. What tools do most people here use to evaluate IV, greeks etc? I see that ToS and IB both offer free tool to acc. holders - how do these compare to one another, and to the restof the field...

    Synchronizing Home & Office Computers

    I guess this is a problem a lot of people have. For me the solution is to use google mail & calendar rather than outlook. Then, for other files, I have a portable hard drive and regularly use superflexible synch (see below) - synching PC1 to portable drive to PC2. It's not ideal...

    Minimum Wage

    I'm talking about a minimum wage - not the same wage for everybody. Sure, it may be a imperfection in your free market - but a pretty minor one. I just don't see it as very significant.

    Minimum Wage

    I can never really understand why people get so worked up about this. The real abuses are at the other end of the wage scale.

    Virtual Desktop

    I've been using goScreen for ages - it does what it is intended to do & is reliable. I haven't used others so can't compare.

    SIFs may trade very strangely today

    Indeed, YM & ES were a little ill-behaved today, with some very big YM volume spikes on my tick chart. I'd really like to hear from nitro again ...

    SIFs may trade very strangely today

    Listen for the color of the sky. Look for the sound of the hummingbird's wing. Search the air for the perfume of ice on a hot day. If you have found these things, you will know. Do you hear your own heartbeat?

    Slippage on an ES stoporder

    If it's a proper Globex stop or stop-limit I have never had more than 1 tick slippage - but almost always 0. With a simulated stop it all depends on speed of your connection and how fast the mkt is moving. In my, limited, experience, usually 0 or 1 tick but occasionally considerably more. 1c

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    I'm not sure I would be so quick to disregard ES/SPX spread. You may need to get the vertical scale right to see the movement - but it's there. In watching it in conjunction with YM/INDU I notice that they often move pull in different directions - e.g. YM/INDU suggesting strength while...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Thanks for the help - the if1/2 rules are3 now clear to me. I have reread the thread you linked to cn and will do so again. APA - In one of his posts JH says that APA consists of reversing if the price goes against your entry, within the duration of the entry bar, then go back to IF1/2...
