Hi all, just wanted to say thanks to Monk and Mel for a great (and very enlightening) PHX Monkinar as well as thanks to the rest of you who attended for a great time. It's certainly nice to put faces with the names.
I'm officially back at w*** catching up today. I'm also now about a thousand posts behind whenever I get a chance to check in on the Den.
For those practicing their paper trading of the F's or Q's, I have Ameritrade among others. I think their normal tools are somewhat lame, but I actually like ThinkOrSwim. One nice thing about it is that you can log in to a papermoney account and trade it just like your normal account (i.e. all the same tools, setup, etc. that you would use for the real thing). If you happen to do this, I noticed that some of the data (e.g. level 2 and streaming quotes) is delayed 20 minutes while some of it is real time (e.g. the streaming charts). This was very confusing until I figure out what was going on. I called them up (email actually), and they said they would be happy to make everything real time for the papermoney account. Anyway, in case anyone else is using thinkorswim or thinking about it for paper trading, I thought I'd mention this.
Now I just need C to squeeze so that I can trade the F's for real. Oh well, at least it gives me time to practice before then.
