Anyone know a good browser based economic calendar that can make sounds when an event is about to start?

Can someone explain to me how liquidity of index CFDs work? Would liquidity of say the DAX be higher via CFD than FDAX? And if so, what is the mechanism?

ah, got it.. I just installed NT 8 for the first time recently.

when does this lagging crosshair occur? oh yeah I forgot about the tabs.. definitely a major improvement. Do you know how to drag a tab to another window ? I couldn't figure it out - I mean to move it out of one window and put it into another existing chart window

yup.. that should solve the problem )

there are some improvements to be sure.. like not have to use the default instrument list from a chart and being able to type in any window the name of an instrument. as far as multithreaded goes, I believe them but it is still lacking.. like why should loading data freeze up all your windows...

haha lol, why they need such stuff in an indicator is beyond me. They should have chosen some scripting language if they didn't want to create their own language. But like people say, NinjaTrader's addon support is really intended for 3rd party developers to sell their wares so if your business...

I am a programmer and it still took me several hours to convert a (non trivial) indicator to NT8 from NT7. It was someone else's source code and I hadn't programmed anything for NT8 before and NT7 I hadn't coded in 5 years I guess. Actually it was 2 indicators but the second was short and quick...

sure it is possible to write indicators without being a programmer, just I'd imagine more frustrating.. harder though with Ninja than almost any other platform I can think of (except Sierra - you might really need to be a programmer for that)

I know I'm late to this thread but I just wanted to point out the rationale for NinjaTrader taking years upon years to release a new version. Simply it is, anyone developing code for their platform (Indicators, Strategies) would have a hissy fit if they had to recode their stuff every year...

does anyone know if the JForex API is Thread-Safe? I assume it must be from the nature of the thing and from the examples but I just haven't read it anywhere - and nobody answers anything on the Dukascopy JForex forums, don't know why that forum exists really.

no what I meant was exit when it's time to exit (depends on the situation)... depends on each trade and what's going on. I guess that's harder if your coding strategies, but in manual trading it's not a problem to do since you are at the computer anyhow. I mean have a stop to handle situations...

yes, exactly - were it not for noise, trading would be sooooo easy. The pairs that move the most are more jittery when you zoom in. There is no pair with tiny spread and really smooth constant nice volatile moves. I never understood the people who say, just find a system that always loses and...

I would say RAM is by far more important than anything... then CPU then SSD. Really depends on your trading software. Sierra Charts seems to not require too much but others like NinjaTrader if you have many charts open and some browser windows open, you might want more than 8GB (12 or 16). You...

hate when that happens... sometimes it also makes you exit a winning trade too early )

Now the problem with Java is that it is constantly (at least it seems like constantly) nagging you to update... they should write it so that it automatically downloads, doesn't nag you and installs on next reboot (if you agree to a dialog when you're shutting down the computer) - but that would...

that's exactly the point of signal providers... the guy who trades his money based on some other guy's signals has someone to blame when he loses it all :)

ok, I'm a bit late to the party... but... just wanted to say, awesome explanation. I found this wading through many google search results, and this is the answer I was looking for. kudos

Hi, what discount futures brokerages provide ability to trade the FTSE? I mean can anyone recommend a couple? I like to use ninjatrader or maybe multicharts thanks

subpip values on forex look the same as the rest of the number. This really makes the chart a bit hard to read. Most other platforms have it differentiated somehow.. ' or different color or smaller size or small raised e.g. 1.0000'5 or 1.00005 or 1.0005 is better than 1.0005
