Hi. for the past two days i have been able to make ~$1500 with one ES contract on the Sierrachart simulator, and I am thinking of going live. I'd just like to know if you guys think the order fills received in the simulator are realistic in comparison to actual trading. Thanks.

Hey. So i'm trying to become a primarily quantitative trader and as such I have been looking for the appropriate software. What do you guys think about openquant from smartquant? Does it lack in anything or are there any better programs currently on the market? It works with IB which is a big...

I only have $5000 to trade and i'd like to open an IB account. Their initial minimum is $10000, so I was hoping to borrow $5000, open the account, and withdraw $5000 immediately. Will this work, or do they restrict such withdrawals? Thanks.

Sup. So in my few posts on these boards I have learned not to ask that can be googled. However, I need some clarification on account minimums with Tradestation and Velocity Futures, and you guys would probably answer faster than customer service. Both of the firms require $5000 initial deposit...

Ok then I have one more question. How far back do the intraday charts go back with X-Study? They don't seem to say on their website.

What I really need is intraday charting that goes back several years atleast, and an execution platform that is capable of scalping. I can get X-Trader free from Velocity.

I'd like you professional trader types to critique my setup please. I am planning on opening accounts with both Tradestation and Velocity Futures (X-Trader) and using them both at the same time. I understand that tradestation has excellant charting and analytical ability, but is lacking in order...

Alright. Thanks all. :)

I really need detailed intraday charts that go back several months atleast. Also It seems like QuoteTracker favors TD Ameritrade customers, so I am concerned that they will withhold the best features of the program to users of other brokerages. What do you guys think about using IB as a...

Thanks. Is the data feed from IB and MB ok by itself if i want to go cheap?

Hey. I need some assistance in choosing a trading platform and broker. So basically my greatest barrier to just picking one is the fact that I am not so sure of my particular trading style yet, and I will probably only be able to decide on this after days and days of viewing intraday charts...

thanks for the overview

Hi. I have recently taken interest in potentially trading the e-mini S&P500, but I know next to nothing about it. If you don't mind, someone please rid me of my ignorance. 1. What is the cost per contract of the ES, and how many would I be able to trade with 5000 or 10000 dollars? 2. What...

:p well its obvious that I can't really expect detailed strategies but maybe someone knows what their tactics are based on..technical analysis using indicators, fundamental analysis, or something else.

sleep is for wimps...just buy pure caffeine in powdered form and take a teaspoon every hour or so.

nothing gets rid of things like fire.

Do you guys know what brokers and software would institutional or very wealthy private traders use to place orders? thanks.

Certainly the managers don't stare at a chart and follow the stochastic oscillator, so what do they really do to determine trade decisions?

One thing I notice about the kind of people who make 25M a year is that they are highly reluctant, even seemingly ashamed, to reveal what they make in such exact numbers. They'll usually say "I make a decent amount" or something like that when someone asks.
