    Who sees your stops

    Aye, have read your posts and know the tenet of move-in-the-direction-the-signal-indicated-NOW-or-seeya is your general MO:) I guess I was thinking in terms of MY somewhat discretionary trading where I will sometimes hold a position beyond where I would have a potential stop if something else...

    Who sees your stops

    NoD, first, utmost respect for you, your journal and all the little dojis, be they dragonflies, gravestones, morning styles or in evening attire (or perhaps you are the personification of the anti-doji, the chart that is the absolute negation of the doji in all its myriad forms, a period of...

    Good charting software for IB's data feed?

    Thanks for all the posts and Pip dude for Esig's more specific/limited symbol as it seems much closer to what I am actually seeing in IB and, as CSTFX pointed out, what I am going to be able to get filled at. But damn, if there was a broker that had access to every trade on each forex...

    Good charting software for IB's data feed?

    Very good point and thanks for the explanation. Now, I am wondering/wandering because if the Esignal data is based on a feed that is shared with SOME broker, then it may be good to put some money with that broker (after considering commissions, spreads, reliability, etc.) as there is more...

    Good charting software for IB's data feed?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. Yes, I have been enjoying the free aspect and whilst Esignal seems to have a lot of noise/tails that are not registering on IB, their volume counter seems to be a little more exact and easier to read than Ninja Trader though with forex, who knows about the...

    Good charting software for IB's data feed?

    I have been doing fairly well with futures and equities but as I travel often and into time zones that are sometimes way off EST, I thought currencies may fit better, especially since price action is price action, though the instruments and their volatility and spreads may differ fundamentally...

    ES Greenhorn

    Bounce it is. I could not find it, but somewhere in the archives of your posts, I thought I had read that you were going for the bigger moves but it may just have been the long NQ contract you are holding until the daily chart trend indicates a reversal. Certainly, there is more than...

    ES Greenhorn

    Hey there, grand snowpigeon (good luck bird of Tibet or it may be the tufted duck...either way, everything is auspicious there and to have one aligned with who you are at your deepest level, well...), It seems as if such tight stops would be tough with what has become a hideously choppy day...

    ES Greenhorn

    It could be a matter of hair length, unless we may be talking of the longer haired Himalayan yaks but then, we are not in the midst of a yak run, are we? Then again, today was most certainly a very itchy day if you were waiting for the market to turn. Running with the Tibetan/Himalayan...

    ES Greenhorn

    This is to let you know that I have enjoyed your amusing musings as well as the reasoning for your calls, both technical and otherwise. With reference to your self questioning on unemployment's eventual drop affecting the markets, what are your thoughts on the dollar gaining strength...

    Trading the Firm's Capital?

    WinItAll, Thanks a lot for the information. I will look into Assent and Hold later in the year to possibly start the year off fresh somewhere new. A buddy of mine had problems with an Assent sub-group a few years back but again, they were just clearing through Assent so it should be OK...

    Trading the Firm's Capital?

    WinItAll, Thanks so much for the information but each answer creates more doors so now I wonder how you can have an account directly with GS when their website says they only take broker-dealers, mutual funds and hedge funds? Are you with a subsidiary or if not, can you possibly send a link...

    keystone trading group

    Not for you to risk sounding like a shill or spammer, but would you mind sharing the URL of a few of these sites that you mention as ET can be a little tricky to sift through the trollposts, haters, and otherwise waste of screenspace? Thanks in advance

    Trading the Firm's Capital?

    Hey WinItAll, have enjoyed your informative posts:D Anyway, besides Bright and TradePros, who offers RediPlus? From your posts displaying the rates you are getting, I am guessing you are with neither of them?

    Euro/US Dollar, things to watch

    Thanks for the good article. FWIW, I have been looking at the FXE as one of a few pre-market indicators for the stocks and their indices for several months now with slightly less reliability lately. For me, it has been most reliable with the commodity based stocks as the commodities are...

    Just another journal

    Have been reading some of the other journals for a while and reading yours without replies made me finally register. FWIW, i am not sure who you are trading with but if your commissions are not too high, it may be better to trade SPY instead of the ES. WIth one ES being the equivalent of 500...
