Has E-signal's data feed for Eurex improved over the past six months? There were some issues to be resolved in the past. Thanks, MM

IB is down right now Second time in the last few days which is not acceptable.

Make that 54.75 and 55.50... LOL

Daytrading the e-minis has become a game of whipsaw back and forth; continuously having to be ready to pounce on the keyboard when it briefly takes off in one direction and quickly reverses. Recently, my best trades have been shorting resistance and buying support in large cap stocks. Most...

Yes, the bid/ask quotes were absent for approx. 20 min. MM

I think the W-8 form applies to capital gains and interest earned only - not dividends. MM

I have CNBC on but don't pay much attention to it. I react to charts first, as the market will always move before the news is broadcasted on CNBC.

The contract multiplier is 5X The minimum account deposit depends on your broker. There is more slippage than with the ES or NQ; the volume is much less (approx. 25 - 30K contracts/day). MM

Does anyone know how to claim back the taxable dividend withheld by US brokers from Canadian residents? In other words, how do you avoid double taxation on US dividends for Canadian residents? Thanks.

Beware of those fly-by-night junior gold stocks on the TSX venture exchange. Most of these companies are nothing but a hole in the ground backed up by sleazy promoters. It hasn't really changed much from the years of Murray Pezim back in the 80's. MM
