Hi folks, I am looking for some tickdata mainly for Fdax and CL, since I trade that most frequently. But ES and NQ would also be fine. I came across the website of Tickdatamarket.com. They are a little cheaper compared to Tickdata. Does anybody know the quality of their Tickdata ? Any...

I agree - its such a shame. The thread was spoiled like so many other threads. Maybe it would make sense to open threads where only certain people are allowed to post. That would leave the thread clean and you can focus on what you are interested in. I think trading unfortunately allocates a...

I like this sentence in the article: "While bulls feast on the current gains, bears and average investors observe the market's rise with amazement." it describes perfectly this rally. Its the most hated rally ever because so few investors are participating. The "average investor" is sitting...

Euro is not much better either. Total dept in terms of GDP exploded with the crisis. So as someone said, where are the alternatives ? Maybe the stock prices which are way ahead of the economic facts are already showing a flight in other assets coming. But in the end, its all about trust. As...

I don't think there will be any tax cuts. The best thing for the country would be a 25% flat tax, but this would never be possible in a country where people are only jelous on the few who are simply better. More than 12% for the left ones (Lafontaine) is a desaster.

I agree the morning action was quite suspicious and then the run-up.

I don't know. All I can say is that chinese love consuming, they are adicted to that. At least I can say that for cities. Countryside is different, they still live there like in the stone age. But this is what makes this so interesting. There is so much potential. And I would assume that >95%...

I think the question for a good investor should be "can you risc not beeing invested in China" rather then "can you risc beeing invested". Of course there will be rough times cause +8% anually can not be made for infinity and there will be more political issues with all the different cultures...

sorry, I did not want to offend you as I never wanted to adress you with any of my posts, I assume you are a good trader.

I was on vacation and posting here is a waist of time. I was bullish all the time, long before Goldberg when some claimed end of the world. Bye.

5300 here we are. thats what I told here months ago but I only got sarcastic comments from some Perma Bears here. The obvious is sometimes hard to see.

don't know the answer. Because in my case, I failed (but only tried hard for 2-3 years) with programming such a system (IB, API, C+). My "systems" only worked for a period of time, then giving it all back... Now I am back to what I am good in, discretionary trading... I still think a...

I was in Vegas 2008 with my wife and kids. I was really pissed by the prices and the mediocre quality of the restaurants there combined with really high prices. Why on earth should a person that only serves FOOD deserve a 30Dollar tip just for bringing some plates and giving me a false smile...

stop loss avalange. Euro resistances + a few pips act like magnets recently, quite easy long. Think now it took out the final stops we might see a retrace during the next days, I don't see it advancing much further.

I think Ivanovich is right. There are only few people that think this is more than a bear market rally. The reason stocks go up is because owning the underlying currencies is even worse than owning stocks. I think we will see more sidways / slightly lower during the next 3 months and then a...

in this case I apologize for my rough post of course. I failed in building a system up to now. I began to understand that the intuitive part of your brain (after 10 years watching every the future tick) is a very powerfull tool if you can control the negative parts of intuitiv trading (not...

I have a PH.D in Physics and earn more money in a week than you will most probably earn in your whole useless live. But I do love the fact that there are people out there like YOU commiting money to the market even if its only peanuts. nice regards from Germany !

nobody can predict right now with 100% certainty if we get deflation or inflation since this is depening on the FED. If they continue to monetarize the dept (taking dept in their books) and even these measures cannot keep long term interest rates down we could see a crash at the Bond market...

yes, but you have to make investment decisions WITH Bernanke and Geithner in the game. The market will always be manipulated by someone (even if the current amount of manipulation is really awesome). The fact that the FED plans to inflate the dept away by buying dept (printing money) is one of...

its not really surprising that most traders fail isn't it ? I think (and I am confirmed in that view by looking around in this forum) that people who try to daytrade are in average not very smart people because in a lot of cases they may have failed to get a "real" job. There are only few...
