Yes, appreciate the answer notwithstanding the first line.

Well my point was theoretically assuming no change in the s&p index. Can anyone offer insight why the ES is in backwardation not contango? I would have assumed the future months would be higher even with today's interest rates.

When I'm reading about futures most books etc advise on always trading the front month. The month with most volume. But lets say you wanted to open a long term long position in the es. Would you buy the front month sept 15 @ 2089.75.... or buy the next month december 2015 @ 2065.75. Is there...

Any ninjatrader lifetime users? Looking for some pre-purchase feedback, please pm me.

sure, but couldn't price rise on light volume and thus give a slight bearish signal or at least hint at caution?

Perhaps this wasn't such a noobie question? I can't believe this doesn't exist, a chart showing the dow/s&p with combined trading volumes? :confused:

Newbie question perhaps, but... Let's say I'm wanting to trade the ES and I want to involve volume figures in my analysis. Is there a way to pull up a chart (ninjatrader) that would show the actual combined volume for the S&P 500 index stocks. Because if I just use the ES volume then...

DB, your stuff (straight line, Wyckoff etc) is intriguing. Do you have an order for reading your stuff that you can point me to? Right now I'm seeing tens of different threads across different trading forums. Maybe you have it compiled in A to Z format?

Sort of. I made some money in another area of wall street, but my real interest is in trading (something I have had very little practical experience with).

Most of the literature on trading recommends having some kind of system/set-up and just mechanically exploiting that set-up without emotion. And this is all for rational reasons like grinding out an edge over many trades etc... But from what I've seen of traders like Soros and particularly...

Thanks, that's what I'm doing. Seems to work nicely.

thank you amgrant, great answers :) edit: what's backfill?

Looking to simulate trade the ES and YM. I have a funded IB account with US futures data. 1) Do many guys trade futures direct in IB or do most use a frontend like NinjaTrader/Multicharts etc? if so, why? 2) I know its a generalization but which frontend do people recommend? I'm looking...

Anyone know of a charting tool that will allow me to overlay EPS against the long-term stock chart? I know about ycharts but was wondering if there was another with prettier charts :D

Thanks, can anyone recommend which are the best services from all those options?

I currently have an IB account. What's the best broker or service to get wall street research reports on stocks? Does IB offer any?

The reason I asked is some options guru says he buys $0 to $3 options, but not the more expensive options which I found odd because he considers them "more expensive".

The answer I wanted, thank you.

Oh i see... $10.20 not $10.02 lol

Very funny. I guess what im saying is If a $10 stock has a $1 atm call option. A $1000 stock should have a $100 atm call option, but this is not what i see.
