Yikes...no wonder you get great customer support, there's only three of you and what are the odds you would all call at once? Of course, this...
I hope no one out there is relying on LiveCharts or any other free program to trade futures on. If its just being used to view the futures to...
I am using Qcharts rather than LiveCharts, so there may be a difference, but my understanding was that the new exchange fee would start after...
Hey Guys, Anyone know which data providers will be carrying the new CBOT contracts? I'm using Quote.com as a primary feed with Nextrend as a...
Your almost there Jeffery...a 1 point move in the SPY = a 10 point move in the index, which is what the futures are based on, so that gives you...
gerry, I think it is much like stocks and depends how bad you want the trade. I usually enter on a limit at the ask if I want to buy and the...
Dozu, I hope you are able to make it work...I'm interested in knowing how you progress. Not to get off topic, but since we are talking...

That is strange. I assumed there might be a connection problem between you and IB, but if you can access other pages but not IB's then I'm...
No problem here. I even tried logging out and back in. BTW, I have a futures account, so I don't know if that would matter versus a stock...
The mini Dow is already listed in IB's symbol lookup as YJ, so I'm sure it will be available when trading starts on it. I'm pretty sure any U.S....

Its a real pain...why can't they just use the normal symbol logic? Oh well, you can't argue with free quotes for the futures. I've been using...
This has been a great discussion. I am always amazed at how different traders can trade totally different methods and all be successful. Those...
No, one is Ken the other is Kent..I'm sure its a real pain for Ken to share such a similar name with a crook in the same business. He probably...
