I was wondering where you went. :) I remember chatting with you in there. These days, I join without putting in a handle, so I can listen in without seeing who else is there. That chat interface is being replaced. On first look, it appears that there is nobody in there except for a dozen people...

Thanks, Hacker. I would definitely bomb as a salesman as well. I try to provide value to ET by sharing what I can without compromising my business. I think one of the greatest shortcomings at ET is the persistent need here by many to use personal attacks when there is a conflicting bias...

Calm down, my friend. The economic figures are broadcast over both futures and equities channels by the same voice. I think I mentioned that. Read my post above where it says,"The economic numbers are announced across both channels at the same time. ". They don't have two separate broadcasts for...

What is your relationship with TTN? You don't have to answer, obviously. I respect that. However, I'm curious. You sound like you might have a friend or acquiantance there. Your opinions are quite strong for someone who hasn't tried NTKN or others to provide an objective comparison. Your...

Try starting up the service and listening to it without any other internet applications running. It really sounds like your connection is getting choked up. What type of internet access do you have?

There are a couple of threads on ET comparing the two services. I have used both TTN and NTKN for a while now. I can't speak for the Equities channel; I trade futures and listen to the futures channel. I am there before they come on at 7:00 AM and after they shut down at 3:15 PM or after the...

This is usually the result of your internet connection. When your connection is being taxed by some other application, you will have it sound like a CD that is skipping. I used to have NTKN on a machine that ran CQG and it did that all the time. I now have a dedicated VoIP machine. You might...

Not enough info. What have been the prints on the tape recently? Did this size come in at the same time? Has anyone hit it with size? etc etc Much of what I share with you here involves the speed of movement and is shaped in the frame of an active market. The market obviously won't...

CQG does not release access to an API. This is not something they will change in the near future. It is a part of their business plan, apparently.

Is anyone going to that EurexUS party on Thursday?

That's great! Just remember that the biggest challenge facing most traders is longevity. As long as you have a risk plan to manage your losses during times like you are experiencing now and you continue to be diligent about research, then you will survive the rough patches to be there for when...

That is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!

No idea what is going on there. Mark might be able to help us out here. I just know that it is under consideration right now. For some reason, TT is spending more time creating little add-ons and trinkets for X-Trader than actually adding value to the trader's ability to trade. It reminds me of...

I don't know. "He" is across various markets. It doesn't bother me much. The moves are now obvious especially in the STOXX. Bid for 5000... no offered for 3000... no bid for 3000... slam! Whatever?!? :) We have a word for someone who does that and plays with himself all day. :D Of course, you...

Sides, it sounds to me like your concern is more in the psychology of it than the actual market dynamics. If I'm buying perceived support, I don't really worry too much about whether or not it will rip through. I don't freeze up and am ready to cut the trade if it hesitates. The only way you can...

Actually, I have always been a book and tape guy during the volatile parts of the day and a chart guy during the range-bound periods. I find that the market is more and more range bound as we rest after the Q4 run up. This is quite normal for the market. I'm not too concerned about it. I know...

I would love to look at the book more than the charts. I'm putting pressure on TT to make it available soon. Same with CQG so I can at least compute what I need to compute to figure out if I should even try to trade it. We'll see.

Exactly... that is why I was saying that this is across the board. Again, look to the forex market for those times nowaday when there is a momentary non-correlation with the ES. You might find it helpful. I appreciate your insight.

Well... the fact is... I have neither milk nor cow. Do you know where I can get one? :) I'm actually not exactly going from a scalper to a swing trader. I'm just taking a more logical approach to trading now because I believe that "clicking frantically" has some limitations as one grows as a...

Do you have a symbol for that one? I only see the EMD (S&P mid-caps) but not Nasdaq. The EMD looks like it is very similar to the ER2.
