    thinkorswim charting?

    I assume you're referring to the dashboard. You can bypass the trade screen by setting it in SETUP. Shift-click will execute the order immediately.

    thinkorswim charting?

    They were answering a direct statement I made to them about enhancing order entry. They're constantly adding new features that get requested.

    thinkorswim charting?

    Not sure how hotkey relates to charting (your original question) but regardless they told me that fully configurable quick order entry including chart trading is coming towards the summer.

    Think or Swim

    I have TOS and have traded futures on it. It is not the best for a couple of reasons, and they're mostly when considering scalping. Compared to IB, or a futures broker TOS has a higher base futures comission and they don't offer as many futures products. Compared to a futures broker the order...

    Account opening process at open ecry

    I have OEC through Amp. The live is exactly the same as the demo, only that the live is attached to your money account. You don't pay for anything out side of whatever they quote you on the commissions. I went through Amp because the rates were a little cheaper and the account balance needed to...

    POLL - What's your average YM Stop?

    With tight stops you'll have to tick scalp on momentum or on reversals. The YM has quite a bit of back-fill.

    Paulson: Stimulus plan could create 500,000-600,000 jobs

    Anyone believing that getting 600 dollars is going to change their individual financial situation has missed the point. I could care less how it's packaged, stimulus has always existed for business first and trickle down second. Anyone who has more than 100 bucks in the market should know the...

    Paulson: Stimulus plan could create 500,000-600,000 jobs

    you are missing the point of "stimulus." It's not to help people pay their bills, it's for giving people money to spend supplying business with sales and revenue. Stimulus is not about helping the consumer it's about helping business. Whether or not it will do anything is another conversation.

    Openecry commissions ?

    I'm was watching the Amp demo yesterday while my funds get wired. I saw one outage sometime in the morning, but it was only for a few seconds. Not sure if the live platform was any different. The demo uses the same data and I think the demo is using the same features.

    What if a trade doesn't immediately move in your favor?

    I agree with this info. One caveat, as long as my stop has not been taken out I let it work for a couple minutes (1 min timeframe) but if after this time it isn't showing strength in price or volume I get out with fractional profit/loss or flat. If you're only targeting one move quick move there...

    Catching YM

    it is definitely less smooth. It is now similar to ES with backfills, and choppy moves. I suppose it's good if you're scalping for a few ticks.

    Question futures trading

    Unfortunately this is true. YM has become as back-fill happy as the ES since it changed exchange at the beginning of the year. Up to the change the YM was reasonably smooth and much less erratic. I don't like trading it as much now.
