  4. $500 for CQG with all the trimmings.

    $550 for TT (X-trader)

    $100 for 2 seperate DSL connections.

    But I trade on 3 different futures exchanges on 2 continents.


    ...but IB is sounding better by the minute. Success, CB

  9. 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?

  10. 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.
