Seems everywhere I look its doom and gloom, all this comparison to 2008 is a bit pointless in my opinion, no one really expected what would follow in 2008 but many are convinced the same will happen in 2016? maybe it will, maybe it wont but what I do know is the herd more often than not get it...

You couldn’t make this stuff up! Every High Frequency outfit operates on similar principles don’t they?, If so they will have to charge a lot more of them if they proceed with this. AND as he doesn’t work for a Wall Street firm and isn't a hedge fund boss ( A perfect scapegoat). What does it...

I don’t know how many times I have read about market tops and/or imminent crashes the last couple of years, eventually though the doomsayers will get it right and then can say I told you so. If you look at the chart, there is at least 6 occasions when it looks like the market has topped, then...

That’s one of the best posts I have seen on this forum, for anyone just starting out TAKE NOTE :)

Some massive spikes in Asian futures at times, both up and down, Hang Seng is notorious for them, usually with big volume, had one last week in the SGX Nikkei just as the cash got going, spiked up about 150 points which is about the daily range most days then reversed by about 200 all in about...

Well there must be some futures traders somewhere in the world who made a killing that day in the CME CHF Contract, market went from about 0.98 to peak around 1.23, at $12.5 a tick that’s $31250 per contract, dont know if a limit up trading halt was triggered, but all the same, someone made some...

I was looking at the TradersStudio website as this software is of interest to me next time I upgrade my PC, still running Tradestation 2000 but it is getting a bit long in the tooth so I need an alternative and this appeals as it says it can convert easy language script The website though may...

And I have been using TS 2000 for most of those years, agree it has its limitations and there is maybe far superior software around these days but bottom line for me is I make consistent profits using this software so why change?, even had people laugh when they hear I still use it but you...

Wow, that was quick, thanks Scaleout.Scalper, much appreciated :D

Been using TS 2000 for nearly 12 years and more than happy with this oldie but will it load onto Windows 8 ok?, anyone out there tried?, if so any issues etc. Quite like the look of Windows 8 as well but if my old TS wont load then will have to get the new PC with Win 7 Pro and install in Xp...

I did watch it on delayed via the website today, first hour was pretty slow and the spread often 4 to 6 points and not much volume about and regularly only 1 each side, once the underlying starts trading it picks up and the spread comes into 1 or 2 points and there’s usually around 5 to 10...

Looking to add this contract to my portfolio of markets, it trades 8am until 10 pm CET but can anyone tell me if this like the EStoxx 50 has a settlement price before trade finishes ?, the Stoxx settlement price is taken at 3pm CET but all daily quotes are for the full session, they both trade...

:mad: Well there you go, sometimes the market can be so cruel, best trade of the year and i f@cked it up with a stupid mistake, made 14 points per contract when if i had traded June it would have been 94. Oh well, best not to dwell on it too much, you get good luck and bad luck in life...
