Been looking at adding the E-Stoxx 50 futures to the markets I trade using OHLC and noticed yesterday that the settlement price (2547) was posted on the Eurex site whilst the market was still trading ?, it then closed out at 2559, I then checked my CSI data and it had the close at 2547 yet the...

Looking to add this market to the stable i trade with a long term system but notice volumes are often pretty low. To anyone who trades it, how are spreads and is Slippage an issue. Cheers

For any other dinosaurs out there Yes will load and run on W7 with no problem, make sure your running the 32 bit though. :)

LOL :D no i dont drive a 12 year old car but i get your point. However, "it it aint broke why change it" :) I do use the backtester and only trade index futures and 6 markets only, all but one (ES) are Asian/Australian, the date feeds from CSI accurately and with no problems, im also...

That's interesting goodgoing ! Ive used TS 2000i for few years and made consistent money, my reason to stay with it when in reality there is probably far superior software available and more user friendly and cheaper is why change a winning strategy and part of that is TS 2000i, im used to...

Has anyone loaded TS 2000 onto Windows 7 ? Are there any issues, i now with vista it could be loaded but you had to do so in safe mode, cannot find anything about it being ok or not with W 7.

AAAAAAAAAAAAh Thanks, yes got it :D

Thanks D&S that much appreciated :) Can you or someone just clarify based on the above example the difference between 122.315 to 123.000 is $685 ?, then it trades from 123.000 in $5 ticks eg 123.005, 123.010 etc, once it reaches 123.315 then its a $685 tick up to 124.000, so there are 63 $5...

I have only traded index futures but these markets now interest me so im just after some information about how they move as all i use is EOD data for my trading, they trade in 1/32 or 1/64 ?, now how does this work price wise, i use CSI and it shows data in this way, i will use Fridays close as...

US T Bond has changed from 1/32 scale to one half of 1/32 scale. It makes the data ^000 instead of the old ^00. Im using CSI data and it displays correctly in there UA software but when exported to TS2000i it seems to only display ^00, not ^000. so it displays the data all wrong. e.g...

Unless human emotions like fear and greed are going to radically change overnight i dont think ranges below 5 are going to be common, they will certainly occur but will be the exception rather than the rule. High volatility often follows Low and vice/versa so i think at some point ranges will...

I trade this market every day, volumes are good for the day session and it moves well, current range is about 75 points or A$1875. Watch out for Australian statistics which are usually announced 11-30am Sydney time also the RBA announces interest rate decisions on the first Tuesday each month...

I have been looking at adding the S&P Canada60 (SXF) to the markets i trade but apart from the Montreal exchanges website can find very little about this contract, anyone trade this market ?, volumes are OK and it may be worth a look. IB charge C$2-40 per side Any info appreciated...

Anyone who thinks trading is going to be easy is not going to make it as a trader IMO, trading is dammed hard particualy on the emotions. Many people say to me they want to throw in there job and live from trading as if its that easy. I trade and i make a living from it but i still work...

Long may there will be people who think it impossible to make money or a living on a consistent basis. I day trade futures using simple systems and to be honest they don't all work all the time, i usually have something in drawdown, currently im getting smashed in the Hang Seng but have had...

Long term secrets to short term trading by Larry Williams, allot of people dismiss this book as being BS but IMO it shows the type of simple methods that can and do work in the futures markets, you wouldn't want to trade any of the ideas he presents in the book, well not in there raw form anyway...

Appologies if you have seen this on other sites, if not please sign the petition I found this absolutely disgraceful, forget global warming, forget the financial crisis, please help put pressure on the Chinese government to stop this barbaric trade. At first i thought not another Animal...
