Time in trades is not as important as the size of the average winner and the percentage of winners. However, the time in winners/losers tells me if the trader is too focused on making money and has confidence issues, etc. If a trader follows what he deems to be a plan that works, then he should...

What leads you to see 1269 as support since yesterday's RTH low is at 1266.75? Just curious. I used 1269 for the last several days as a key reference area, but I don't see it as a strong support area any more. Of course, any number can act as support and it all depends on the action around...

Interesting DOM statistics. A realtor friend said that she pulled her license from a major realtor who used the tactic of removing a listing and then making a new one to reset the DOM reading for the properties that are 180 days or more. I don't know if she is just pissed and making stuff up or...

If you do it while being a member of the exchange, your cost would be $34.50 for exchange and globex plus another $50 or so for commission to your clearing firm. Once you have traded more than 200 contracts, the Globex fee drops and it becomes $0.595 per round turn. Assuming you have a good win...

I know the rebate game and I understand the basis for your approach. However, futures don't work like that any more. It is no longer a game where you can pound on it all day (even through lunch and the dead hours) and collect ticks here there and every where. Too many people and machiens are...

The service is Free... I want to preface what I'm saying by stating this first. Therefore, I appreciate the info they provide. I have NewsStrike along with NTKN and TTN. That just about covers all the audio news out there. NewsStrike has on every occasion announced economic, geopolitical and...

For the ES: with IOM ($195,000) -> $0.69 per turn + up to $50 per day for Globex fees. For ER2: with GEM ($27,000) -> the rate is the same For both with ECM ($1000 app fee) -> $1.38 per turn all in. The CBOT products are a bit different. Is this what you are asking? The best...

A couple of things to consider with a professional clearing firm: You need a minimum of $25k, you have to pay NFA of 2 cents per side for non-members, a 25 cent per side commish is the TOP side of what you should pay. There should be a cap and a reduction in commissions as volume progresses...

Wel... Do you believe in Karma? There you go!! The poster being ganged up on will re-appear, just like they do here, with a different name and are then rated on their new posts based on that quality. The idea is not to keep the rating system fair in case someone has made enemies. Rather, it...

I have attempted in the past to pass data from one PC to another across a network and couldn't get it to work. I tried to do that with the fast cash being computed on the CQG PC and then passing the last fair value price to the TT (trading) machine to display the fair value on the market depth...

You are absolutely right. This is something I have considered for the FDAX, YM and ES contracts. I have the fast cash for those products, so pulling the tick, AD/Dec and TRIN for those should be a piece of cake. It is an awful lot of data and processing to do in Excel or to bog down my CQG...

Weird website. Looks good on the surface, but it seems to lack real info about the product. Many links lead to pages that say "0 pages found".

Yes, TradeFlow is a very good tool. A bit like MarketDelta but not as sophisticated.

Wow... that is a great app. Works really well with stock symbols, etc. Nice tool to tinker with. I figured out the symbol for the tick to be $TICK-NYSE.NYSE since they consider the market stats to be an index. I appreciate your help. I will post a spreadsheet with the data for those who might...

I find that others who use posting-rating by members to be quite useful. The forums with the highest views and a high average rating for posts contained within it would be the way to go if you want to shorten the amount of time it takes to sift through the 100's of threads that are started every...

Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone can do me the favor of uploading a sample Excel spreadsheet that would bring in the following data in real time from IB's TWS: TICK-NYSE TRIN-NYSE Advancing Issues Declining Issues Up Volume Down Volume I have messed with this for a while and...

This is no longer true. CQG has released an API for their data in addition to some excellent analytical features in their latest version.

Thanks. I'm not sure what they would be rerunning, but royalties would be good. :) I'm not entirely leaving the site. I just wanted to pass a note to the moderators and say thanks for their hard work. I will continue to respond to threads I have subscribed to when I see something to...

I think the level that set us off today was that 5536.00 low that has held us for the last 3 days. My T&S shows precipitating stops from 5538 down with that bid size of around 238 contracts first being taken out and then triggering resting stops. I love those kinds of moves. We used to have that...
