Yes, considered LLC when he was 16, but the learning curve was a little steeper than I thought at first. By the time I felt he was ready to trade on his own it was only a few more months to the 18th birthday and legal to execute contracts on his own. An LLC has set up and annual reporting...

I'm looking for a broker where my 18 year old son can trade option spreads. He's been learning & trading options with me for the last two years. He knows his way around defined risk strategies pretty well. He opened an account with TDA to use the ToS platform right after his birthday...

Is it just ToS or is all of Chicago offline? Sosnof's tastytrade site is up but no live video is streaming right now.

So what hours does this trade now? The ER2 traded same as the ES. The IB "contract info" for the December 100x RUT shows the exchange closed 8:00 PM to 6:00 PM ??? What does that mean? Does it only trade *between* 6 & 8 PM then?

The "continuation symbol" EF #F does indeed work. Strange thing is that while daily quotes for this seem to go back a long way, the one-minute data (hourly too) only goes back to June 26. Is this also true for eSignal quotes or only Qcharts?

What's up with that? In Qcharts 5 I could pull up a chart for the ES Sept 07 or June 07 w/o any problems. In version 6 it just stares at me and gives a "symbol not found" alert box. I've been using version 6 for a while but just yesterday tried looking at old contracts. This really bites...

Just you... Qcharts working fine all day, just had Qcollector run an update

I couldn't get mine to work on Friday by a kill/restart of TWS. I fired up the task manager and knocked off the javaw.exe process that was still running, *then* a TWS restart showed market depth just fine.

Where did it go? I'm not getting any market depth info for ES, ER2, or YM this morning. IB status says everything is green.... ??! anyone else?

Why don't you just create the backtesting infrastructure necessary to explore various types of systems. You could put a snazzy web front end on it and charge people a monthly fee to test their systems and provide alerts of some kind. The fees would cover your costs and you would be in a unique...

Subscribers: when/how is your weekly copy delivered to you? The local newsstand and bookstore availability has become inconsistent to nonexistent. I'm considering subscribing but NOT if I have to wait for Monday afternoon's snail mail to read it.

Among Office Depot's weekend specials is a 100GB Maxtor drive (yeah, not one of the huge ones) for $100 with $80 in rebates ==> $20. This deal is still good through Saturday, 10/1. The box that arrived had a "20GB Bonus" sticker and contained a 120GB drive. Lessee.... 17 cents/GB...

I "second" that. I doubted this at one time since I had run in to a page on the NYSE site that claimed limit orders which cross the market as Don describes are treated just like market orders. From my own experience running identical "opg robots" (only differing in their exits) I would get...

Try your search again with the "Search titles only" and "Show results as threads" buttons checked. The results should be a lot more manageable.

But wouldn't it be our (human) nature to perceive it as the final stage if that is the stage we are at currently? i.e. Maybe someone more newbie would look at learning about TA as their "final" stage only to have the next step revealed when they punch through that one. What's next ...

I was in a similar shopping situation and got a Dell 4700 with the x300 graphics. I added a PCI Radeon 9200SE to get more screens. Works great and shares the driver with the x300 (as an R7000 should too). I went with the R9200 to get a bit newer tech than the R7000. Browse the ads just...

Yes, but only if you install the Matrox driver the right way. During installation it will ask if you want to be able to have independent resolutions/color-depths on each monitor. Answering "no" will lock you out of this capability. The only way I have found to resolve this is by...

This question comes up on a regular basis. Understand that people's answers could just as easily apply to the "what's the best religion" thread. My experience has been that very few applications can take good advantage of dual processors so benchmarking will tell you not to bother. However...

More dual output cards... OfficeMax has an nVidia 5200 based PCI card with dual outputs on sale this week. (hurry) It was in last Sunday's color ad and goes by the "Mad Dog Conquerer" name. You have to find it in the store. I couldn't see it on their web site. $60 after rebates! Yow.
