Wao! $200 for squawk box?

which service do you use? I know there are few
site that offers it for less, but why you pay more?

How do you use it? lets's say up trend has just formed
and you hear noise, How you interpret whether it's
continuation for staying in trend or reversal?

Not because all of them have proven strategy, but some
have higher tolerance for expense, because they trade
larger account (more than 3 contracts).

From this poll, you can make out that 50% traders
are trading 1 or may be 2 contracts maximum.

If you trade 2-3 contracts, you can offered to spend
around $300-$600.

And the traders who spend around $10,000, they might
be paying for top advisory service or paying hefty % fees
to fund account manager, or expenses like runing offices
and website related.
