Patrick, When trading the globex sessions, do you get any look at how deep the book is? That is, can you see the next best bid or ask and the size with it? Also, How long does it take to get filled on a market order? Do you need to go through a broker or can you get direct access via a home or office PC to the order entry and fill screens? The trades that I see pass through Quote.com's site, the volume only ever reads 1. Is that reporting the volume or the trade? Since I do not actually trade commodities, what are the margin requirements for day trading S&Ps? And, What should I use for commissions? I am attempting to paper trade the S&Ps on the globex and want to make sure that I accurately reflect real life situations. Thanks for any help you could offer on these questions. Sincerely, Wayde
