Jim, Question for you: when you say you've got stop's in place at the support of 10:55 support area. Are you mentally putting this in? Or are you setting up triggers with the brokerage to cover your options? And if so, how are you sending those option orders without know the prices? You're...

jim, a couple of questions for you: 1- what type of broker are you using? etrade, fidelity, ib, etc? 2-how are you entering your orders? are you legging into them or does your borker allow you to send spread orders? im looking into getting into specifically spreading and writing...

Anyone have any alternatives to TT autospreader. Thing just seems to be too generic for itself now. Everyone is running the same spreader and seems to be getting hung all the time. I have some ideas on ways to possibly tweek, but have no programming experience. Any thoughts? It just seems...

Thanks for your example. I think Id like to keep the efs route that way I can add studies to it. Im thinking I might have to get one of the outside vendors to help me program it. Im sure it won't take someone proficient in efs more than a few minutes. If I had more time I guess I could try and...

Hi, I've recently subscribed to Esignal and Im having a real difficult time trying to get a spread chart plotted based upon the "day's change". For instance, if I want to use the following formula: (2.5 * MSFT(change from prior close) - (dell(change from prior close). So if MSFT is up...

"I know people are doing the NOB now on equal contracts, and there were always those playing it with a bearish or bullish lean - there'll be others here who have much better insight, especially if you are trading it intraday" Are you referring to people trading it 1-1? Wow, I've always...

Thanks guys. I will have to check with esignal to see how that intra-day may be calculated, but the close maybe the only option. However, the $20 a month sounds like a steal, and If I can just view it intraday I might be able to boot-strap a range within a .33-.5tick. Just to give me an idea of...

Thanks. Do you trade them? I just have heard a few things about it lately, and its peeked a little interest. More of maybe an indicator than actual trade. Not too sure yet.

dun, Great advice and posts. Im just going out on my own from prop and have been looking into the TED and ratioing it. But, came across some of your suggestions about CQG etc. Data fees and things are really starting to add up and I actually was coming to the conclusion you just suggested and...

How has your TED trading been working out? I've been looking into it, but don't know anyone who trades it. How did you come up with your ratios? Have you ventured into the FOB & NOB yet?

I've been researching a little bit on it lately. It looks like it is actually traded along all different types of duration. 3-month,2,5,10. Im having a problem finding anything as far as ratios or how to properly ratio it. Do any of you know how or can suggest a site or something to read...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestion for getting quotes on the US Treasury Cash markets other than with CQG. I checked out Esignal, and it looks like the only market they quote is Garban Treasury?? Does anyone have any info on Garban? Im looking to get an all around charting...

Maybe I confused the terms, but we might be saying the same thing. Your saying (I meant), use a fixed fraction ie. 2% of total account equity always?? And if thats the case do you have any suggestions on a proper fraction to use intra-day? I really don't try to hold onto anything overnight if I...

interesting. ill try and take a look this weekend.

Thank you very much! Im looking over the website now. Just trying to get an idea on prices. Figure, Im going to sign up for there email and try and specify looking for a laptop. But, I will deffinetly keep those specs in mind.

Could anyone recommend minimum specs for trading off a laptop? I do a little traveling and actually use an office with a t-1 line when away from home office. Ive been looking for a good deal on a laptop, but not too sure what to get. Id like to get one so I can set up a wireless system around...

Keep hearing they might merge with the CME. Anyone have any insights. It seems there would be great synergies involved between the two.

Hello Nitro, I too have been trying to find a proper money management "SYSTEM" to put into place intra-day. Ive been doing a lot of research and trying to read up on it, but I think with my style and basically trying to have all trades closed out intra-day. (I say trying because sometimes...

bigtime, you have excellent taste!! she was smoking hot.... i always wondered what happened to her.....

I got this in an email today, just thought I'd post it for anyone interested: In light of the crisis that has struck the heart of the World Financial Center the stock market will obviously be extremely volatile this upcoming week. As all professional traders are aware, volatility in the...
