Well after all the voting,,, Tallies are in. And it looks like 233 has been voted top choice! Apparently all other tick sizes were so despised, not a single vote was garnished for them.

For those using tick charts, whats your favorite size for WTI? I go back and forth depending on volume a given day. Brent on other hand I like 233 across the board.

Shit someone beat me

Yea they def my clearing. I needed to discuss margins a couple times with them (whereas tradestation tradedesk is ineffective). I feel like they just treat everyone that calls like a brat cause they realize there's no real requirements to sign up so majority of people are not serious...

i think 16 screens is good. I just put the same chart on all of them with big red alerts. This way there is no confusion as to which way the market is going :)

...until traveling into a tunnel ...getting stuck there with a 3hr traffic jam ...going into the after hours trading session ...while short /cl ...and without managing to get a stop order in place yet ... ........ haha

absolute necessity? no.. but i'm able to correlate items better. so it works for me :) If I didnt have access to cheap components and good knowledge of hardware I may not have taken this route.. Good synergies between my company and trading

all dell e2311h I got a bunch of DELL PC's for clients and most didnt need replacement monitors, so I just upgraded them for a few bucks and on they went! Otherwise woulda been $$$ Some day I'd like to get high end deals, but these work pretty well for now.
