Not a true "daytrading" question but this may be the group to ask. Could anyone please recommend site(s)or book(s) that gives a good definitions of each futures contract and the relevant indexes. I already have a fairly good understand of all the major contracts and indexes but require more information about some of the specifics. For example: What are the exact differences between. ZB U.S. Treasury Bonds, 30-year - Project A session US U.S. Treasury Bonds, 30-year 30-year Treasury Bond Index 30-year Treasury Bond Index Settlement I don't need an answer to this question....but any site/book recommendations would be great. I have found that CME,CBOT,etc. don't do a very good job explain each of the contracts, although they do tell you the size, date, times, etc., etc.,. Most of the futures books or sites that I have read only talk about the basics and fail to mention the specifics that I have been looking for. Also...I have read Murphy's book on Intermarket Technical Analysis. Could anyone recommend any good books/sites similar to Murphy's Intermarket book that go really in depth into intermarket / intercontract / index TA (e.g comparing bonds/S&P/commodities/, etc.). I found Murphy's book informative but was hoping there was something a little more technical out there that I have missed. Thanks for any responses in advance. Best Regards KEITH

TraderAlan, Thanks for the pointers. Currently I use a simple (5) minute bar chart for all of my intraday work. I am used to this as I have done it since I started trading. Occasionally I will look at a (1) minute intraday chart for the internet stocks although I don't trade them very often. To tell you the truth the internet stocks scare me (ggg). I am working on automating some of my scalping techniques so that I can focus more aggressively position trading. Do you daytrade as well as position trade? Leland
