Simon- I have heard that PMB is not held on fast-market orders or if their
system goes
<BR> down. Have you looked into that E-futures system? [www.tradeftg.com].
It doesn't go down. Also, the same outfit that operates that system;( FTG/RCG)
will let you call directly to the floor with a 25k account size.In addition,
be aware with First American, You're probably going through 2-3 desks before
your order gets placed. -Danny

for your insight. I have been using LeoWeb (also uses CUBS) for ages
now but the breakdowns are getting so frequent that I need to go elsewhere.
During my time with LeoWeb the number of users has grown enormously and
the guys with the terminals are swamped (there are only 2 terminals too).
This will get worse and fills will suffer.</FONT> <FONT SIZE=-1>I
would be very interested to hear how PMB goes as they are at the top of
my "to investigate" list.</FONT> <FONT SIZE=-1>Thanks and regards</FONT> <FONT SIZE=-1>Simon</FONT>

Brokerage Opinions</FONT></FONT><FONT SIZE=-1>I started daytrading Spoos
full time about 2 months ago and am going onto my third brokerage firm.
Here are my comments:</FONT> <FONT SIZE=-1>1st - futures Online was
terrible!!! The CUBS unit was always down, fill reporting was very
slow, I never received confirmation that a cancel/replace was done and
got picked off. recommendation: Dont trade through internet
via Cubs if you are daytrading.</FONT> <FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>2nd
- saul Stone has very knowledgeable order desk and fills were excellent.
I opened the account with $25 K (their minimum for Spoos) and after taking
some cash out and suffering some losses, the account was about $15K, still
sufficient to day trade according to currrent margin requirements.
I got a call this past Monday about 1/2 hour before the market opened telling
me that an internal policy now required the account to be at a $25K minimum
per contract! I wired in funds that afternoon and the next morning
they did not show a record. Only after a couple of hours and missed
trading opportunities did they then show the wire in. Today the account
is being closed!</FONT></FONT> <FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>I
am going to try PMB and their online brokerage. It appears to be
completely different from Cubs exectution. As a standbuy, I am opening
an account at First American. They appear to have a top notch operation
but I am inclined to try out PMB first.</FONT></FONT> <FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>I
will keep you all posted!</FONT></FONT> <FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>Gary</FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>

Dear Brente:
I would be grateful if you would briefly explain what is a "sore thumb
divergence",
I am not familiar with this term.
Much gratitude,
Pompatis
