well the sky is the limit. read any of the 'market wizards' by jack schwagger - guys who have run thousands into hundreds of millions.

wow, yes, that is very impressive! did you do this online?

if anyone at all responds to this question, they will tell you that it is not really meaningful - you can make all the money in the world or you could lose it all in a flash. i would recommend asking something more specific. good luck, ben

DynamicHedge can you clarify? Does PDT not apply to US markets because we are trading from canada (IB is the exception?), or are you referring to the TSX- PDT does not apply to the TSX? thanks! ben

i opened an account with oanda which allows me to dabble in forex with very small size (no account/trade minimum) a number of forex brokers have similar arrangements. imho forex is 'safer' than stocks for two reasons: 1 it is open 24 hours a day and if you don't hold positions over the...

I am looking at Clean Energy stocks/funds. Climate change is really starting to seep into public consciousness and the political picture is right. I think we will start to see these come unglued from the price of crude a little bit. Is there a good way to take advantage of a bull market in...

here is a quote from market wizards: 'if you invest and don't diversify, you're literally throwing out money. people don't realize that diversification is beneficial even if it reduces your return. why? because it reduces your risk even more. therefore, if you diversify and then use margin...

forget going south. come up north. reading all of this makes me extremely grateful to live in canada. it might be a little chilly, but its getting warmer - and i'd take snow over handguns any day.

hi bolter, thanks, yes, i have read about it in your MD forum and elsewhere on the web, but i just wanted to see for myself.

ugh. pardon my stupidity. i am comparing the Z6 and H7 contracts :confused:

and here is 5pillars DTN IQ

here is the IB chart

thanks for posting the chart 5... wow! you have to be kidding me. they look NOTHING alike... there is not even any point in trying to do this with IB, i wonder why MD bothers to distribute an IB compatible version?

anyone??

well, i'm still on the fence - i do think it is quite exceptional, but it is also quite expensive ($159 per month), and i'm not sure how useful it is with the IB data feed - also, it has crashed a number of times when i have attempted to create some different kinds of charts - i'm going to...

Would someone be kind enough to post an ESIGNAL fed 30 min bid ask footprint of this morning's breakout in the ES. I am demoing the software with the IB platform, and want to make a comparison. I will post the IB chart so that others can compare too. Thanks! Ben

hi all, yes, it was a backfill- and i found an answer here (from bolter's md forum) http://www.linnsoft.com/qa/a/108.htm it does look like IB is not sufficient for market delta on a contract like the ES, which is too bad. thanks for the help! ben

hi, since the market delta thread is closed, i decided to start a new thread, hope this is the appropriate action. I'm demoing MD with IB, and today was my first day running the software. Just had a question about the premarket action on the ES. Since i'm assuming that all these...

interesting, thank you both for the insight. i will do some experimentation. -Ben

anyone have experience doing this?
