Steve, If you are attempting to learn more about <b>market structure</b> I would suggest you take a look at the Market Profile methodology. It takes a different perspective than most technical analysis methods but does a very good job of logically structuring the market in a statistical manner...

Does ICE disseminate the volume with each trade. For instance, if a 20 lot trades do they send this info out? I use eSignal and IQFeed and neither are showing volume with the trade. What's up with this? QM disseminates volume. Thanks in advance, Trevor

Check out www.iqfeed.net. Similar to eSignal on the cost side. I have had good experiences with them.

Give www.marketdelta.com a look. It is not a system but rather a interesting chart (called footprint chart) of price/volume that tape readers might like.

Parttimtrader, I do us an indicator and program for this information. This information, as it sounds like you have already found out, is very difficult to come by. The information is very dynamic and difficult to track unless given the right tools. Private message me if you are interested and...

Parttimetrader, One strategy, as you mentioned, is not to trade. This is a good solution, however, when do you know when not to trade? My best trades have been during "lunch time". I have found tracking volume is definitely one of the best ways follow whether trade is active or not, but as...

Rezo, This is not exactly the answer to my question but interesting and useful information nonetheless. What I was specifically asking was the following: Do you think the arbs in the futures are banks who can see and know the "book" (current bid/offer and depth of market) in the cash market...

Does anyone have an idea of where I could find intraday trade volume for forex? I have read some of the older threads here at ET and get the sense this data is not available because of the decentralized nature of forex. That's fine and will probably be that way until it is more centralized...

Wanted to start a thread for people to contribute their knowledge or experience trading spreads, particulary Eurodollar, Libor or any of the other interest rate derivative contracts. Here are a couple of questions to kick things off: 1 - What software do you use? (Order execution, analysis)...

Been in their offices to present our software a few times and met most of people mentioned in this thread. The one person not mentioned that we have dealt the with most is David Ortiz. He heads up their electronic trading division and has been good to work with so far. I think he is the guy...

JohnGalt, His question is a valid one and it is sad that you would criticize any questions. That is why forums exist. If he was legitimately blind, would you feel any better about your comments? There are no bad questions in my opinion.
