Well depending on your strat like you say it could go both ways. I don't think anyone's automated programs are quite firing like they did in 2008. But I have tested mine with 2006 volatility as well so I mean it's ok, but it has widened the gap between trading days considerably. I do not have...

Just take a historical look at a VIX chart to see how your strategies work adjusted for volatility.

Good call Think risk before profit and have clear outlined rules Anything else will be donating to JP and Friends.

What pairs are you testing?

SIERRA + Excellent data feed, more important would be data though

Dark pools are just matching orders for big boys that do not have to be publicly displayed. I am pretty sure though it still flashes on the tape. Mostly an institutional game.

No, it's really not close at all sometimes I am sure there are examples out there that you can reference but I have seen 5 different feeds look pretty dissimilar for E-Mini SP. Like I said earlier if you are going for straight single bar formations it is definitely distorted but if looking...

CL IMO is the most "technically" traded contract. Some good ideas would be.. 1. Have a large bankroll 2. Never break your rules one time (automate EVERYTHING if possible) 3. Learn fundamentals like backwardation. I really know nothing about number 3 but that hasn't shown in...

We already tried explaining the probabilities in another thread to him. But he seems to be genuinely doing well. It is either that, his luck is awesome, or he has found his own edge (though a sliver of one). Again, best of luck ABC.

You are correct as far as using them to identify an individual candle shape such as a doji. But you are incorrect as it is my assumption (through analysis and conversation) that most tick chart traders do not look for those individual formations but they use them because it is easier to...

I was referring to that as well. A tick chart is just "x" number of trades. Lets say 1100 trades have occured already. Lets say I have a 200 tick chart. We have : 1) 5 periods of 200 ticks Then I turn on my computer.. 2) 5 periods of 200 ticks was backfilled...

What? lol A higher low would be trending higher but if you are looking at candle charts you need to define if you are looking at a daily chart or hourly or 15 min etc.. Just draw a line connecting the lowest lows.. Im not sure what you are saying here

DTN IQ is supposed to have the highest resolution microsecond tick by tick data. It is also pretty damn expensive from my point of view at least so you do what you can I suppose.

I don't exactly get what you mean? GLOBEX reports the trades and then they show up on your cpu. For example I didn't turn my charts on till 3:00, but it backfills all the ticks until the current tick on the current bar. Just because you turn your cpu on in the middle of a bar doesn't...

It's not that tough You can get software which also lets you quantify angles so angle 1< angle 1b angle 3 > angle 3b And then write your equations using whatever language is at your disposal.

Yes, like 6000v chart should look the same to all participants or almost exact due to the way GLOBEX reports. That is only GLOBEX though, so that doesn't cover everything.. Again anyone can correct me where I'm wrong

Yes, I have seen this occurrence. For example take the 1) Transact 2) OEC 3) Barchart.com Live data feeds for ES MINI and put them on a 233 tick chart. I believe they are slightly different because of the way GLOBEX reports orders. But from the same data provider they will...

Not exact - was late 2008 in the "z" contract I believe.. just search the internet And yes I suppose you would be correct in stating (or whomever did) that this happened in overnight hours. You would not be worried about this the way you trade, but in the instance this did happen during our...

You are not realizing my point though. The point is when you are having too much risk on the table in the first place and THEN you encounter one of these very random low prob. situations you will be blown up instead of just a papercut. Also, what do you think happened to people with...
