thanks price

Hi am thinking of going for an account with mirus futures to trade ES. I am based in the UK. they offer two clearing houses Rosenthal Collins Group or Dorman any recommendations or info on which would be best/safest?

thanks for the comments guys, just checked with IB and they need $10k to open account - not there yet, so that narrows it down.

Hi I have been paper trading the ES for 4 months using zen-fire/mirusfutures/ninja-trader and esignal. I am based in the UK. I want to go live. I will continue to use esignal for my charts and ninja-trader to execute my orders and only trade the ES. However I am not sure which broker to use...

Hi I am a bit confused with charts/quotes showing the 'opening' and 'closing' for the e-mini S&P 500 (I am looking at the ES sept 08) (for that matter any of the e-minis). Since the trading is 'virtually' 24 hours when is the stake taken to quote EOD op and clo? I have been unable to match...

Hi GJ, yea New Market Wizards I think is a must buy, thankyou.

Magos, anyone "Trading by the book" by joe ross seems to get a lot of good press...any comments?

Hi Albert, thanks for your input. First up, I read the first chapter from Profitability and Systematic Trading: A Quantitative Approach to Profitability, Risk, and Money Management by M Harris and I like it. It's recent and nicely lays out the reasons for doing things. My numbers: Yes success...
