I want to vote, but I need to vote every hour! :mad:

A few questions: How much capital for one DAX is a safe play? Do you also trade the ESTOXX50? Is it also a good trading vehicle? How about the Bund, SMI and CAC? Is it possible to use an auto trading system for scalping?

Wow! You have 629 RT per day. If you could get 1 tick per RT then you would get 7k a day! Is it really hard to make one tick for a scalper?

What is the meaning of 629 x 629 =750 ????

metooxx: Why do many houses in Bahamas have a generator and a water tank?

Do you feel it is easier to trade the Eurex before the US markets kick-off? Another observation is the Bund/bobl follow the ZN/ZB and the ESX/DAX follow the NQ/ES. But they could deviate from the US when they are closing.

Did anyone experience cancelling a large amount of limited orders (>1000 or so)at CBOT or Eurex? Did it work instantly? [Assuming the current price is quite far away from your limited price.]

I tried using this method in a trading simulator and made quite a lot of winning trades. :eek: But in the real world, is it possible?

This f**king IB always gives us some unpleasant surprises!

True! However, it depends on the market. Sometimes you can enter the market without rush. But you need to be quick in other situations. Of course, you can decide taking the signals or not but this may lead to cherry pick, a very dangerous practice.

Can eSignal do backtesting for futures? If so, how much data does it provide?

Are your methods quite subjective? It is hard to determine which one is a bad data. And some spikes are huge but some are not. I know some professors of statistics did research in this topics. But I remember that they couldn't make a very great improvment of the accuracy of the forecasting (it...

Doing the pre-processing (e.g. remove spikes, bad ticks) the data before applying any TA to it. It is quite time-consuming. I think you need some special tools don't you?
