EdgeHunter, I am not familiar with the DDE feed. I searched for it under the trading section of dtn.com (right site?), but I didn't see anything. Where can I access this service? Thanks for your help.

I will, thanks for your help!

QuoteTracker seems like a great service for me. What does the 2-3 trade data include (time, size, price, etc.)? All I really need is total trades per day (primary interest is swing trading due to limited funds), although hourly would probably be a bit more useful. I probably wouldn't need...

Sorry, I posted my last response before checking out the link. I'm looking for something longer than eight days of data, however. I'll sign up with opentick to test out what they have, I only need something simple. Also, I have not opened my equities account, yet. What brokerages provide...

Are they only for futures and indexes only or stocks as well? I'm looking for something pretty inexpensive and hosts the # of trades for individual stocks as well. Thanks for your help.

I sent an email to Track Data customer servcie. I do not wish to program this feature in. Are there any more services that have or may provide tick volume? Thanks for your help.

I'm looking for daily tick (# trades) volume rather than share volume. Where can I get this? It only needs to be daily. Thanks for your help!

What software has the best backtesting/optimizations? I've been using NinjaTrader, but their optimization is severely lacking. For example, when I was optimizing a strategy on the Dow 30 "bundle" of stocks, it returned optimizations on each individual stock (showing very different results)...

I"m not stupid enough to let my account drain. If I lose 25% of my capital, I'm out of the market, analyzing my trades and my journal to see how well I followed my rules, and paper trading until I either see a flaw in my tactics or regain confidence in my orders. Anyway, I'm not here to...

Yes, I do agree with you. Anyway, I received advice from a trader who suggested that I join a trading chat room and just watch, listen, and analyze. What do you think of trading rooms? And do you have any chat room recommendations for a swing trader? Thanks for your help!

Why do people always assume that traders are going to start losing money, and that it's inevitable? If you know yourself, know your strategy, study and prepare for the markets, and keep your discipline above emotion, what's the difference? Honestly, if there's no mental toughness there, then...

I was attempting to learn these formulas for possible arbitrage of options (from studying options chains where a stock would not move and random options would rise 10%). However, as a small time trader, I don't believe I could delve into this yet. What do normal options traders use any of...

As a long time fan of Nova, this is officially awesome!

If black and sholes is no longer used to price options, is there any other model that can give me good valuations?

Thank you all for your replies, especially Tom. Based on your recommendations and trading strategies, is it now wisest of me just to study charts with few if any indicators? Would this also mean that I should hold off on programming (at least during personal time, and take a class or two in...

Anyone know where the options pricing formula is or where I can get it?

I've been studying and learning trading and the markets from a background perspective for months and months, but am struggling in finding how to make the transition to actual trading. I've tried limited backtesting programming, but I am not very good at those kinds of things, and am learning...

I suspected. Thanks to all!

This seems to be about what I'm going through. I've tried manipulating and improving the daily pivots in a few ways (they do seem to hold some value), but every time I do I know I'm just changing it to be profitable when in reality any changes I make apply to that situation only. Thanks for...

I'm talking about the strategies he describes in his book, Mastering the Trade. So far, I've been testing the pivot points and the HOLP and LOHP strategies. So far, I'm not impressed with the pivot points (even after 60 trades). The HOLP (enter after crossing high of low period) and LOHP...
