I don't know why I am about to get involved in this but you don't ask the family doctor to perform surgery and you shouldn't ask for investment advice on a trading forum. I'm not saying I don't agree with some of what has been posted on this thread but this is not the best place for financial...

Thanks for the replies Maybe you are right about x_study. It's growing on me, still not nearly as good as CQG but for free it's not bad. I am in the process of setting up a new account. Can I chart exchanges which I am not trading if I do not have X_trader pro? This is a reason I was...

I currently use X_Trader for order entry which I like. I am not crazy about X_study and would like to find some software to solely be used for charting. I need live data of futures markets and would also like to be able to see the dollar index as well as some other indicators. A live news...

I used to trade Treasuries. Every once in a while when I would tell someone I was a bond trader I would get people who thought I was a bounty hunter like Dog. That always gave me a laugh. I stopped telling people I was involved with the markets when I got tired of people trying to "give"...

Keep a desk drawer full of cheap calulators.

Not legal. Regardless of intent it is market manipulation. The reason being your "wash" is a false print which may strigger stops and impact the market. In slow overnight session myself and others used to buy or sell one lots into a stack where we were working a much larger order. We were...

I agree with much of what has already been said on this thread but no one has mentioned price action in regards to getting a sense of market moves through the "action" of market players. What I mean is identifying large market players’ potential positions through the volume that is trading...

The dell outlet has some good refurbished stuff that includes a warranty. 22" monitors for $219. I just bought a new system with two monitors for around $1400

Thanks, that is what I was thinking but wanted to get some conformation. I used to trade treasuries during those hours. I am looking to start trading actively again but keep my day job for a while. Looks like I am going to be putting in some long days and nights.

What time range (in EST please) have the most volatility and volume during the after hours session in CL and Brent?

I spent several years with this trade. The carry is only a factor if you keep the spread on over night. If you are long the basis (i.e. long cash short futures) at the end of the day on Thursday it is possible to unwind the trade a few hours later when Tokyo opens and still get paid a three...

Can you trade multiple markets on X_Trader without paying the montly fee with velocity? Also does anyone know anything about TT_Trader? It looks like a per use version of X_Trader. I can't find anyone who offers it except alaron and etrade. Lastly, how is TT's charting software?

Is anyone in the Wilmington area? I was a Fixed Income trader but have been out of the game for the last two years. Starting to get a serious itch and would love to talk to some people in this area.
