One of the best traders I ever met was in to extreme sports: base jumping, scuba, parachute, iron man, etc. I noticed that these were not team sports, but challenges to ones self. Always pushing, always testing, always enjoying life, but also having a laugh as well as working (as a side...

You just all cred. Sorry.

I use Ensign but with the IQ feed. This does sound a bit like the IB feed issue, as I too trade ES but havenever had this issue. Your response from IB sounds quite typical from what I read of IB on these boards.

Im paying $150 dollars a month less than TT. Does the same thing - but doesnt take up the resources! TT: www.tradingtechnologies.com Pats: www.patsystems.com Costs tend to depend on functionality required.

Yeah - like trading futures! :) I had a good life. I still do. The question now is; will life be just great, or will it be fantastic!?

Yep! If there is little to change value, and price moves on paper, then thats opportunity! Patient as always.

Cut your losses short and let your profits run does not imply averaging down or fading moves to me! Maybe I have missed something..... :confused:

Right. Also, remember that words like 'Contango' and 'Backwardation' still exist, but sometimes are not as obvious as those in physical commodities. There are frequent divergences between GLOBEX EC/E6 and EUR/USD Interbank. People like TradeLink and GetCo (props) are fully on to this...

Im using Pro Mark from Patsystems. Im blown away! Not as neat as TT, but functionality and reliability 100% better. My IT dept advised me to look, and im glad I did! Good bye X trader. :p

We all sway our political bias to some degree or other over time. Just because we were traders during slight transitions, how can we say it was trading that changed us, or just maturity? As a trader, I guess I have become more self reliant and perhaps a bit internally arrogant to those with...

Thats the idea! - it makes it easier not tougher. Higher probability events with less risk exposure. Ideal! But it does put some big moves in on the numbers. As for broker - RGC? Man? Velocity?

Id be interested in why you want to short? What influenced this decision? It all looks pretty strong to me.

This is why IBM are in the computing industry, not the trading/broking business. IBM are just out to sell more services. Anyone with a brain knows it takes a lot more than latency to make money. IBM are just embarrassing themselves IMO. Most bank 'traders' are brokers. Broking is about...

At last!!! I have a working spread charts running! The issue was because I needed a margin on the chart/blank spaces, rather than running the bars to the hard rhs edge. Anyway, support have kindly updated EW so I can build charts right up to the chart scale. How many people think e-signal...
