Rognvald, Chuck (Charles?) and Zow. Gentleman, Thank you for the suggestions. The difference in most cases between real-time and delayed is exchange fees (negligible for Eurex). I've beeen testing TeleTrader (Austria) and will probably settle for this. Thank you once again.

Soosta, Don't worry - I can be overly sensitive at times. The point is there is an enormous amount of free, high quality info on this site. If you like I'll send you the basics (200 pages, may take a while to download) re futures and options. Send a private message and include your e-mail...

Robert, your just a quant.

What, is Eurex an irrelevant backwater? Have you actually taken a look?

I honestly felt distinctly uncomfortable submiiting my prints to the FBI. Christ knows what they'd stitch me up with. However, my paranoia shouldn't deter you. The Futures Industry Association in Washington can supply the study materials for futures - brief/short and not cheap ). I bought mine...

Do a search on Google for the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission - federal regulatory agency), NFA (National Futures Association - the industry's self-reguatory organisation) and the Futures Industry Association - all in the US. These should explain. Series 7 (also 3, 6 and countless...

Wall Street Journal, or do a search for Platt's (may have something). Hope you want more than an 'idea' when you take a position ... dodgy in the Middle East

Do the Eurex Traders Examination. It's ten times harder than the UK's Futures & Options rep's exam (to really impress do it in German). Exams are sat in Docklands (c £200). Go to www.deutsche-boerse.com Do the rest yourself (an unwritten exam). Unlike here in the UK, all material is...

UK-based clients trading through a US-based, US broker are not afforded the same protection as US-based clients trading through the same broker. UK-based clients trading through a UK office of a US broker are protected by FSA rules re compensation, DEPENDING on the clients' classification, ie...

Zenda, I agree with you here. Something which may be of interest to you with a 30-day free trial: www.marketdelta.com Especially look at the software components on the left of their page. Download their white paper from www.marketdelta.com/links.aspx I'll test this when I can sort out a...

Ta On a serious note (oh, dear). This is the problem I have with TA. Rarely, if at all, do I find any justification for a particular indicator. Indeed, I suspect many are the result of an imagination relieved of any intellectual baggage. Of course, this view puts me in a minority, and I...

As a sole trader/individual (even a limited co?) you should be able to do your own tax (and on-line via the IR website) via self-assessment. It is not difficult.

This loophole of payment in dividends resulting in lower tax was closed in the last budget. It was aimed pricipally at builders; I suspect it would apply to any business.

TP, I'm still trying to sort out a data feed. When I do, I will certainly try this. Being averse to TA, superficially this software appears to based on simple supply and demand - which in the final analysis, determines prices and levels. If you already have a data feed, why not take the trial...
