Hi. Would like to have some input from more experienced guys as to how to interpret this news: Fri Apr 6 | 1:30pm Non-Farm Employment Change Actual: 120K Forecast: 207K Previous: 240K CBN say: "The economy created a meager 120,000 jobs in March, much lower than the 200,000...

Hi, Does anyone have any direct experience with Futex application process? After the assessment centre there are 2 rounds of interviews - would greatly appreciate feedback from anyone who has been through one or both. Cheers

Thanks ST, If spotting size is so important, why not display 20 price levels on MD Trader rather than the 10 only that you have?

Can you elaborate on your statement "it became very clear which side needed the liquidity". -Took the words out of my mouth.

FWIW, I have made substantial sacrifices to put myself in a position whereby I can watch L2 orderflow - and nothing else - for several hours each day. Still nailing down which products but focus presently US and German bond futures. Bump this thread in 3 years to see how I'm doing.

For the benefit of anyone who passes by this thread in future: I can confirm you will receive a far superior rate from Velocity Futures Broker, than you would with a British Bank. The day in question, when I initiated the transfer, the prevailing exchange rate according to Google was...

Thanks for your helpful replies, It seems a bit secretive, the whole currency conversion issue. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment - really a bit frustrated with it all.

Please wait. A representative will be with you shortly. One moment please... We apologize for the delay. A representive will be with you shortly. Operator 4 says: Hello JS. My name is Operator 4 how can I help you? JS says: Hi. If I wish to convert GBP funds in my velocity account to...

Hi Does anyone have access to the following info?: If I deposit 10,000GBP with velocity, it IS possible to convert these funds to either USD or EURO. But can anyone say what the prevailing rate is? Perhaps someone who has an active account with velocity has some way of viewing this...

Inspirational stories anyone?

"The obvious conclusion (not followed by new ETers) is to make sure you have, first and foremost, a reliable and accurate methodology to apply. How obvious is this? Try this analogy; its about as obvious as having 4 round wheels on a car. Imagine instead a car on blocks with no wheels fitted but...

http://www.tradewithvelocity.com/trading-platforms/x-trader-simulator.aspx I guess there are demo offers for ninja trader etc, but since the alternatives to X-Trader are apparently garbage, I've restricted my research to X-Trader only. As above, Velocity seems the best bet. To access...

Hi, I have a few questions. While I am actively using Google to uncover answers, perhaps some ET members could help lend some extra guidance? Thanks in advance: Cutting to the chase, I would like to access the X-Trader platform, in addition to a data feed for stock index futures - FDAX...

Yep, Although it seems the master file cannot be in excel format: At 50,000 rows per day, I will hit the 1,000,000 row limit with less than even a single month of data. The important issue for me is reformulating my data so that it can be used to create range bars - thereby allowing me...

Hi I figured the most computer savvy forum members would be in here... I have several hundred excel files: 2011-05-01.xls 2011-05-02.xls 2011-05-03.xls etc... Each file contains three columns, relating to one particular futures contract. [Time | Price | Volume] On average I...

Interesting response 'booked'. First and only post. It's a dangerous thing for me to be influence by forums I agree - I have given thought to never looking at one again unless I have a specific question relating to software etc, rather than philosophy. In August my bosses inform me I will...

looking into getting historical data, 20 market depth perhaps, but it costs a bomb. Good suggestion though, I'll think on that

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate your words, I will mull them over.
