Seems to me that many people are operating on a string of flase asumptions when using Delta. Most basic is that +ve delta represents 'buying' and -ve delta 'selling'. Last I looked a futures contract needed a buyer and seller on both sides. Secondly those that realise the above is false...

They often describe price beautifully on the DAX.

It makes little difference if you aggregate things at a later stage (in your chart for example). Of course it depends on the difference in magnitude of the two samplings. Its more like baking a cake and adding each grain of flower individualy compared to adding it in cups (constant volume...

Amen to that. Actually I wonder of they need to be 'expert' a keen apreciation of the issues that face traders may suffice. I have searched long and hard for someone who is able to help. NLP seems kind of wierd, it seems skewed towards you becoming a practitioner yourself. I don't want to...

Are we talking break outs here? I tend to fade them unless there is strong indication price is ready to move.

Interesting that several people where profitable year 1. I'd like to add a question for those how long before you had your first losing year? Cheers.

I know a chap that swears by tikki extremes. Perhaps the question should be does YM lead the ES in any sort of exploitable way. Some lead other follow.

Guess I must be a real nut Job. To answer the original question. Personaly I win a lot and that seriously screws up the money making side of things. I wish I could deal with this issue as I would make a lot of money (rather than a pretty modest amount). Despite knowing better I think deep...

Anyone know if IB have an office in asia? How about a 'hub' for TWS connections? What do people use for brokerage when trading HS NiKKei SPI etc? Thanks.

I got into the footprints for a while and they are valuable but...I dont know if you know the expression 'can't see the wood for the trees' I found looking at the footprints a bit like looking at leaves! I guess excel has the advantage of already having 'cells' that could be filled with data...

Yes it ws written by a brit and I think it might have been 'self published'. As far as I know the tradeguider version is the same but updated for typographical errors. The original had the odd 'buyers' swaped with 'sellers'. I think its available as an eBook from tradeguider or the original...

You might find Tom Williams book The Undecalred Secrets that Drive the Stock Market (or similar). Don't let the title put you off! It is about "Volume Spread Analysis". It is loosely based on Wycoffs work. Cheers, Nick.

Do neural nets with real time genetic optimisation of inputs/outputs count as AI? Still underwelming results seems to me. Cheers, Nick

Do you mean how best to display it? I personaly like either a simple line of the absolute delta and/or a normalised sample of the same period as the price sample (bar). Check out some of the charts 5pillars post. Possibly you are talking about how to achieve it technically? Cheers, Nick...

Get an IB account QuoteTracker and BracketTrader. Dosent come any cheaper than that and they are all pretty solid. Cheers, Nick

Thanks Dogfish.

Hi martin, Good job (but I new that already). Any chance you might add a depth of market / L2 sheet one day? I had a crack but it all got too much for my feeble abilities. Cheers, Nick.

Kinda depends. I have watched guys scalp and take 3 X the hourly range in an hour. Thats gotta be harder. Its hard (maybe impossible) in strong trending markets but doable if the market is swinging around on the timeframe you are trading. Seems like Index futures swing around a lot. Does...

Damn I don't check out ET for a couple of days and there is a bazillion pages on my favourite S/R thread. Ugh no time to read through that many! Did I miss anything good? 4re, I seem to remember you said you where gonna do a bit more on how you draw your lines? (i have read the word document...

Not really a Eurex question per se. but I wonder if there is a good online financial calendar that details announcements that are likely to effect European index futures. I have noticed that the DAX has had some nice hits of volatility odd days that appear to be announcement based. Usually...
