@easyguru The influences of economic factors on the financial markets are a subject I'm very much interested in - and Murphy's book was the only one I have found to cover various relationships between the stock market, bond market, currencies, inflation, ... From a first look the books of...

You may try "Intermarket Analysis" by Murphy - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471023299/qid=1080973517/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-7131524-6765400?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 Harry

@marketsurfer Are you referring to this book? Thanks, Harry

Does Niederhoffer have a website where you can see his results? Thanks, Harry

Thank you both so much! I just was so confused since I do not need the multiplier here ... Harry

Diode, I didn't see your answer when replying to EBOAH - sorry for that! When I go to the CBOT-Website I get for Soybeans: last price = 932 contract size = 5,000 bu Tick = 1/4 cent = $12,50/cent/bu And how do I come up with a contract value with all these three numbers :confused: -...

Or is it $50 x 934 = 46,700 - where do I need the contract size then ?

EBOAH - thanks for the quick answer - but I still don't get it :( Where do you need the multiplier of $400 You just seem to take the contract size = 40.000 x price 60 = 24,000 For Soybeans this would be 5,000 x 9.34 = 46,700 ??? Where do I need the multiplier of $50 ??? Thanks again...

Sorry for this beginner question - most futures on the CME show up with a $-contract value in the contracts specifications ... Can somebody help me: whats's the contract value in USD for Lean Hogs? Contract Value is also the theretical amount to invest if I do not want to use any leverage...

I have heard on an old thread here on Elitetrader of this service. However when I call up the webpage I only get a menu at the top of the screen but no further information on the service - is the website down? Does anyone use this service? Thanks, Harry

I'm looking for a charting program that has the following features: 1. I only need EOD data 2. I need data from stocks, commodities, other futures and currencies 3. It should be possible to draw trendlines, ... that are saved so that they are available again when charting the same symbol...

I'm sorry ... I didn't see that one the homepage. I wrote them an Email and was answered that there will be a separate file for each contract (month). So thanks a lot for the hint! Harry

Thanks for your links ... but as far as I can see, both offer only NON-CONTINUOUS data !!! Does anyone know of a good reliable source where you can find CONTINUOUS data for future contracts? Thanks again, Harry

So far I have used eSignal datafeed with my TS200i. As I'm now trading only EOD I will not use this datafeed any longer. Dows anybody know a good data source for US Futures data (commodities, financials, currencies) in simply ASCII format with reliable CONTINUOUS data for backtesting...

Does anyone know where historical EOD-data of the NYSE TICK-Index can be found? I would just need the closing TICK value of 2003. Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas, Harry

Thanks a lot!!!

ok, thanks a lot for your patience. So can it be said that usually - in financial futures the future price will be lower than the cash - in commoditites the futures price will be higher than the cash ? Thanks! Harry

So in a commodity future the price of the futures contract is always higher than the cash (until expiration where they should be the same) but in a financial futures contract the futures price is usually also higher than the cash = premium. ??? still confused, sorry ...

Good evening! I've read a short statement that fair value of a financial futures contract is "opposite" to fair value of a commodity futures contract - i.e. that one is higher than the cash price the other one is lower than the cash price - because there is cost of carry only in commidties...
