For many of the small and micro cap companies....there really isn't any good earnings calendar that I can find :( IBD covers most every company though, so they are probably the best bet....but not free. Also, I don't know if IBD has a calendar for all the micro's, even though once the...

Thanks AAA...to be honest i am not sure if IB has those or not, since i have still not used IB's charting feature. TICK and PREM would be excellent....Adv/Dec as well...i have not used TRIN too much but it would be a good one to have. I use prophet.net right now and am not very happy with...

I just wanted to ask about IB and Sierra, I have read some nice reviews about them, but not sure about the backfill. Can you only get 10 days for free from IB? If so, can anyone recommend a place for decent backfill going back further? I am looking only at the emini feed for real-time and...

Would first derivative of price velocity be the acceleration? Sorry for the naive question...and can you run a standard indicator for that one...or do you have to calculate yourself? Been following for a couple of days now...great thread guys. It's going to take me a while to digest...

IB has a free FX feed...not sure if they offer a free demo account though :( But if you use IB and have quotetracker, it is a great combo. I had it working with noise alerts to wake me up as well. Worked like a charm...LOL...i got 5 alerts one night within like 4hrs and turned them off:p

Thanks Mad...i had never heard of rebate trading before. Sounds pretty interesting actually. I tend to position trade crazy momo type stocks...so i welcome the thought of a decent scalping or other intra-day strategy that i can trade at the same time. Not sure why some on this board have...

Stupid question...but what is rebate trading? Thanks

Great thread guys...I have always wanted to develop some form of intra-day strategy....scalping would be interesting as well. I am a position trader now...and frankly the daily volatility is a tad rough at times :eek: A question for those who scalp, could you explain a bit what sort of...

I am in Vancouver, not sure if you all have already had a meeting...but it would be great to meet some other Vancouver traders :) I am mostly a swing/position trader in US equities. But looking into some Futures (emini equity) and looked a bit at forex...but just a bit. I am full time ...

heh...that doesn't sound too good, maybe i will pass :) What service is it bundled with for you...how come it is free that is?

Anyone familiar with: http://www.earningswhispers.com/ If so, I am curious how much their Basic and Premium services are...can't seem to find that info on their website...heh heh...probably a bad sign, as in quite expensive :) Likely too much for a piker like myself. I would be...

Thanks Ripley...that clears up a bit :) Yeah, so do you guys find either the YM or ES lead?

Great thread guys...i have been trying to catch up .... just started today. I have a couple of quick questions....very stupid ones...just jargon i dont get. When you speak of "car's" is that contracts? As in 9 car's is 9 contracts? Does "spoos" only refer to the big SnP500 front month...

Hey goodfrey....the alert service is: www.quotetracker.com/ It is great....and free! But it is not a service that picks buy/sell point for you....it is merely price alerts based on where you decide to set the alert. But that is exactly what i wanted, so it was perfect for me.

Thanks ach...took me a while to post...i got really burnt out with the FX. 24hrs is just killer for someone like me, i am a timid trader so i tend to watch my positions like a hawk, which doesn't always help me :) illiquid...yeah, most people would probably think the way i was going to trade...

I have been doing my best to just read the trend off the Daily 3yr chart....that is what i meant by directionally biased up...i thought there could have been an uptrend started based mostly upon Jan11 and Jan13...but i should have read the trendline resistance, 200dEMA resistance, and lack of...

In case anyone was curious...it works really well. Once I got it all synced up, I just set my price alert for the GBP.USD with Quotetracker and IB as my quote source. The only thing is that you will likely have to download some new .wav files for the alert sounds if you want to be able to...

I am surprised...in a good way :p No one has had a stop loss in one of the major pairs get filled offside of their predetermined price? I was worried that this could happen from time to time...i would set a 25 - 30pip stop loss (GBP/USD) and end up being stopped out at like a 50+pip loss...

Thanks ach, Do you review weekly/monthly charts as well for a longer term perspective? I have been using the Daily (3YRs) but so far that is the longest time period that I have been studying. Last night would have been tough for me again....as I was still long biased on the GBPUSD. Now...i...

Just wanted to start a thread for people to post what some of their worst experiences with slippage on a stop loss were...how bad offside of your target stop did you get filled? It would be great if people could post what pair, when (time stamp), and .... what BROKER :) Any other perinents...
