This thread has not cleared up anything for me. What is the difference between the multiple datafeeds? Why would you take one of those instead of whatever is provided by a broker?

I closed my Open E Cry account when they started charging for the DOM and for inactivity. All the stuff I read now makes me not even know where to go to get data.

Having a loss of 20 ticks might not be an issue for a bigger account. This discussion is hilarious because not even the individuals in this thread can agree on what a trend is. Trendlines are confusing because they're not even useful until the 3rd touch. Or, after the second touch. Duration...

What is MD?

None of this makes any sense to me. There are brokers and if you trade with them you get data. But these same brokers give you access to figures from Rithmic, CQG, and other things. What are those? Why would you need those when you get data from your broker? Can you get information from...

Like 7 hour videos of the dom throughout the day?

I made this thread because I have heard individuals say that people who do trend following make a bunch of small losing trades but then they finally get a large winner. My own backtesting demonstrates that you need big winners to offset the losers. You also need to take every trade because you...

They buy a position, it goes against them, stop out for a tiny loss. They buy another position, it goes against them, stop out for a tiny loss. They buy another position, it goes against them, stop out for a tiny loss. They buy another position, it goes in their favor for a bit, returns to...

How come you would not trade what you expect?

I meant why haven't they come up with an algorithm to make lots of profits. They're good at programming thus they should create a method no one else has thought of with small risk.

Russian hackers are amazing at everything. How have they not built a system to make money yet?

You contradicted yourself.

My checking account. I would like an account that doesn't charge for DOM data so I can observe it for a while without actually having to trade. And since I live in the west timezone now I'd like somewhere I can trade inexpensive Japanese contracts.

A while ago they started charging for the DOM. Now $15 a month when you don't use your account.

This is the smartest thread on ET.

It's similar to that pic. You have highs in the overlay shown but then there are other highs where price doesn't go up that you didn't circle. In a situation where you had started going long on the third circle you would have lost money.

Every place you have circled is a relative high. This means at the time there was no way to know that would actually be the high. That volume might not be in the actual volume.

Would you tell the reason you didn't circle the other crossovers on your example you posted?

In another thread I'm fairly sure I took stochastics or something and made it into a system where you buy when oversold and sell when it is too high. Then I took the same indicator and said to buy when it is overbought and sell when oversold. I color coded the range so you could tell from...

What profitability comes down to is having a good system. I doubt there are a million ways to make money by the markets. Most of the strategies don't work. It's like they used to say in martial arts, it's not the art, it's the person. Except it is the art, and mixed martial arts competitions...
