I'm a noob.. What's my profile? - Been trading options for about 4 months but I don't like stockpicking in this environment. - I have very small amount of capital. Just to play with really, it's not significant enough to lose, or to try and grow at 20% per year. - I'm going to take...

Can someone walk me through or point me to the rule of 10?

Are you a canadian using them? Does this cause any special documents required or tax concerns? I wonder if they have integration into any banks in canada? One thing I like about questrade is I can transfer from RBC and back.

I'm pretty new to the whole thing (just a paper trader atm), but my 2 cents: 1 - It may be that daytraders are disregarded because they short the market. There seems to be a general distaste for shorters. I don't buy into this at all myself, I think shorters play a vital role.. I would...

Hi, I am looking for recommendations for canadian futures broker. What are other ET'ers using? Some things I need in a broker: 1) NinjaTrader integration for order-entry through ninjatrader 2) Decent minimums ($5k) to start account / trade futures 3) Planning to day-trade 1 ES...

I am trading on a 1-minute chart of the ES. When looking for a channel I am going though the discretionary steps below to confirm a channel, but I bet I could find it sooner somehow: 1. If price is on an uptrend, wait for a top 2. Wait for the retracement to bottom so now I have a ^...

Hey, I am looking ath the $TICK indicator in one of the videos on the first post. Do you know if this is offered in NinjaTrader? I think I could make some use out of this. I guess it's not really just a tick chart is it? The vertical axis seems to not be price.

No, I'm just starting out. I am a discretionary trader for about 2 days. I'm not writing a bot or anything, I just put that up to try and drive the discussion towards what I'm after: indicators around channels. I see all kinds of indicators around price breakouts, end of trend, etc. I like...

I suppose. For the purpose of this discussion though, suppose you wanted to automate your strategy.. Then you would want an indicator for your software to use. In other words - You are a channel-trader right now and you want to spend more time at the beach so you are going to write a program...

I'm using ninjatrader. I'm looking to get some indicators to help confirm channels for the ES.

What kind of indicator / approach would you take to try and determine the direction of the next 1 or 2 ticks? Is there something that can be read on time and sales or the DOM? Is there some other kind of indicator like DMI, a Volume Trend, RSI, etc that would help? In other words, where...

What is a good indicator to show that price is in a channel, say, on a 1 minute chart?

Has anyone tried scalping only 1 or 2 ticks? I'm sure many have as it's not such a clever idea and seems like a natural place for a novice like myself to look at first for a mechanical system. So surely more experienced people have looked at it. Were there clear reasons to abandon such a small...

Okay cool, he also uses an end of trend indicator which looks interesting. He uses ninjatrader which is what I use for replay simulation / training. I don't think I would buy any of these since I am a developer and could program them myself, but I like what they are doing for him.

I was watching a video today demonstrating these two indicators. Does anyone know what they are? I only could hear their name, sounded like Jazz Dot and Shelley's Volume. The video is here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=5nPi5FYKTZ4 This guy is actually pretty fun to watch..

NinjaTrader is perfect. Exactly what I need. I can use my IQFeed data feed with their simulator. I don't know if IQfeed gives me futures though, I'll find out.

When using eSignal or NinjaTrader, can I place orders on the simulated chart and track progress?

I guess, ideally i could chart it, navigate through 15min, 5 min, 1 min charts. And I guess super-ideally I could place orders and maintain a 'balance'.

Hi, I posted a similar thread in the 'Trading' forum - Mods, can you delete? I am interested in replaying a live session of the ES or ER or YM futures. Right now I am setup with ThinkOrSwim, but they dont seem to offer any replaying functionality. Does anyone know how I can get...

I'm specifically interested in doing this for the ES futures
