I red interesting post at http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/printthread.php?threadid=19564 but its a time ago. If anyone of you using squakbox, which one is "no.1" now for you?
www.tradersaudio.com is what I use when I decide to turn it on. It doesnt help me trade but its fun to be close to the pit action. CajunSniper / Puretick.com Administrator-Trader
I think when your signature has more, umm "information" I guess you would call it, then what your actual post is, it is probably time to cut it down a bit. It is probably just annoying people more than anything.
Tradersaudio.com definately. Ben is a really nice and friendly guy. Sometimes the mini leads, sometimes the pit leads. Yesterday a while after the FOMC accouncement was released the bid/ask in the pit was 7.5 bid offered at 8 even. There were a 100 contracts paper offered at 8 even. Mini was 7.50 at 7.75, locals took the 8 evens in the pit and the mini followed. I like to hear who's buying or selling. Some people say the squawk is completely useless, I strongly disagree. There are times when 1 of the top 10 locals starts pushing the big contract lower, the minis just follow. You can't get that info just from looking at the minis. -SL
Ben's on S&P 500 Pit Broadcast #1. There's a 3 day free trial. It takes a little while to get used to his lingos and market dynamics but it gives me that little tiny bit of edge at least a couple of times a week so that I can squeeze out more profit than had I not used it. Also the background noise can tell a lot about the market condition.
