Thanks. That confirms the excellent experience that I have with CQG data.

S&P 500 emini future (ES)

Are you sure about this ? I was reading their description here: http://help.cqg.com/cqgic/default.htm#!Documents/cqgdata.htm From this text to me it is unclear if the filtering/correction/"massage" of the data is happening already on their server side, or only in the individual trader's CQG IC...

To help you with your question, I scalp mostly NQ and ES, very shortterm (I usually hold for just a few seconds), and my main platform/datafeed has been Sierra Chart with CQG feed for a while now. I never experienced any lags, freezes, disconnects or other issues, even through the crazy...

I see now what you mean. One could argue if that is a good thing or a bad one. Filtering isn't about getting rid of bad ticks. It's about latency and completeness (accuracy). If all they do is what you have posted above, then I am fine with it. But thats maybe different for other users. I have...

I also like TT, but in my case my setup with CQG now works perfectly for me and better than my last TT setup. As far as I know and what is communicated officially by CQG they are using unfiltered data. Do you have any proof for your statement from above ? Which data are you exactly talking...

This guy has been comparing TT vs Sierra Chart with CQG feed, side by side. Very similar, but if you go to slow motion and then look at it frame by frame, you can see that Sierra/CQG is a bit faster than TT. This is exactly the same experience that I have with these platforms and data feeds. TT...

Exactly, thats how it is !

My suggestion is to not only avoid that lunchtime zone, but to limit your trading hours in general (I am talking equities and equitiy futures here). Usually we have some really good volume and moves at the NYSE opening. On many days you can grab a good amount of ticks on ES and/or NQ within the...

What do you mean with massaged data, and what means raw ?

Good commissions for a low volume beginner: I would say everything below 1 USD per contract is good for low volume. Below 0.85 USD would be nice. If you trade regularly and do at least some volume, then you should be able to get 0.50 USD per contract or lower. Once you start to move real size...

I am not familiar with the TD platform, and if you want to trade futures seriously, I would recommend another broker/FCM. But it seems to me that the 6,600 reduction in buying power is the margin requirement for the emini future contract. This is pretty much inline with what I wrote above. It...

Fast markets like NQ, FDAX and these days even the ES are too fast to really "read" the DOM. In these markets, for me the DOM is more for getting a feel. By watching it countless hours you get a feel for what is happening there, just by the overall movement, the speed, the changes from second to...

Да, это правильно ! :cool::thumbsup:

When the market is slow and I am bored I like to chat on www.sluttysluts.ru :cool:

High margin requirement ? Take the S&P500 emini for example... you can (day)trade it with a 500 USD margin with most retail brokers. Nominal value of the contract right now is about 2,670 x 50 = 133,500 USD. 500 / 133,500 = 0.37 % ! Thats a crazy low margin rate. Tell me for which other product...

They trade futures. Their screens are full of DOMs/ ladders/ level 2.

Never touch a running system :D

If you want to learn some advanced concepts and fine points of trading, then instead of wasting money on overpriced courses you could just watch some free Jigsaw, Futex and Axia Futures videos on youtube. You can thank me later. :)
