I last traded it around Feb' this year. I scalp, but it seemed to give good swings of 8 points, now it looks like only 4 or so. Vol' looks good still, just got data up yesterday. Will watch it a while , who knows maybe give it a try again. Thanks, Andy

"bump" Ok I know it's old, anybody still trade it ? How's volume 3am US till US open ? Thanks, Andy

Hi Guys, I don't trade Forex, but do scalp, this is a very interesting thread - thank you. Though isn't the stoploss way to big for profit target ? Your Talking min' 20 wins could be taken out by just one loss, but then you mention increasing the stoploss size 300 that's 60 wins gone with...

Hi, thanks for the info'. In the midst of refunding a small IB account to use Tick/Trin - I have looked at in the past, but never felt I saw an edge on how I was looking at it though. Lately there's been a lot of talk about Tick, one idea the concept of exiting a trade as Tick hits extreams is...

Hi, does anybody use IB's charts for Tick and Trin ? I have TT feed which doesn't carry Tick and Trin. Is the feed from IB good enough to trade YM and ES ? Thanks, Andy

Hi, did he use to offer education materials ? Any info' (facts) how he trades would be very interesting to read about and much appreciated. Thanks.

Earlier somebody mentioned (which makes sense to me) because IB takes snap shots, when the market moves hard and lots of volume it's less chance that IB will choke like Esignal and TS, wouldn't the same happen to Zenfire or TT feed too ? Any insight would be much appreciated. Anything I can...

Am I missing something ? It seems inter day data still needs to be download earlier in the day to have a full days worth of data ? Also does X study offer 140, 250 tick charts ? I'm sorry quite possibly my fault but couldn't find them. Thanks, Andy

Ok, now I know why it's taken me so long to switch from IB to a different broker :-( I used IB and their charts scalping YM, made money and to be honest felt IB did ok, apart from usual customer service stuff. Anyway I've heard how much faster TT and Zenfire are, and also that...

Hi, just picked up a HP comp' back in Jan', used just for trading, know it has 4 GB of RAM, not sure what else (having it tweaked for another monitor at the Geek Squad, as you can probably tell I'm totally computer illiterate) The timing of moving and setting up a new office gave...

Is it still the same that XP windows will run X trader but not Vista ? Thanks.

Hi , great to hear Velocity futures does offer X-study, do you use it ? I was looking at going with Velocity but with the TT feed and Ninja, have any of you used that option ? Or should I use X- trader with X study, ? I'm a scalper not a lot but about 500 to 750 RT's a month. Thanks...

Sorry to bump, anybody use this set up ? Thanks, Andy

Hi , looking to possibly set up with Velocity Futures, using TT for Data and Ninja for trading platform (seems X- trader doesn't have charts and have heard ok things about Ninja) coming from IB as a broker and for charts will this new set up be better ? as good as etc ? faster ? Should I go...

Thank you both for the info. Have been happy with IB, but had closed account for a while, looking to start up again and thought I'd add more chart info', so TS looks like a good option. been about 4 yrs since I used them, back then I felt IB was truer/quicker on exicution, but could have just...

Hi, I used IB in the past, looking to do some back testing and was thinking about Tradestation. Does anybody actually trade ES and YM through them (scalping, as quick as a few seconds sometimes) ? Thank you.

56 ?? Oil hit 46. Did about 12RT scalps, using your calls for direction, made a nice little $$ Yes maybe could have made alot more, but not my style as far as holding etc, maybe I need to work on that :-) BUT man what a wild ride, when oil moves' it moves, !! Thanks Spanish for your thoughts...

Hi, certainly not arguing with you, your facts are right, in fact, in the past I was with a company that offered cheaper fee's plus a whole lot less margin, BUT. The "but" from the past, I had been with IB and was doing very well for a couple of months, I looked at my statements and...

Hi, I trade using IB, to be honest smaller margins would be nice, BUT in all fairness I'm very happy with them. The high margin rates have helped to keep my trading in check from falling to my emotions and carrying a large position over night. I really just try to scalp but do carry an odd one...

Hi Jack, makes sense thanks. Don't get too excited for me, I only had gains untill all those commissions were added in :-( Oh well the costs of trading :-) Thanks again, Andy
