    TradeStation - pros and cons please?

    Great charts, not good. Average to poor trade execution. I only swing trade enough trades to get the platform free. If you have a problem that requires a person, you could wait awhile. The reason I use TS is twofold. One, I know easylanguage and can write indicator code on the fly. And...

    A second look at the Federal Reserve

    An outstanding book for anyone interested in finance, econ, banking. Dont read it if you believe in: men, govt benevolence, banks. Not a light read. 600+ pages. But well worth your time. Lots of pictures of dead men. As Solomon said nothing new under the sun. Some men worship...

    Why do you want to be a trader?

    Many reasons. It's hard to explain. When he was 7 y.o. Jose Carreras saw a tenor on stage and knew that THAT was what he wanted to be. It was his destiny, so to speak, to become a tenor. Something in him resonated with the craft. Something in trading chimes with me. I did not know I...

    Is your question in terms of data? Data domestic= Dtn as good or better Data overseas= Esignal more selection, inconsistent delievery. Dtn fair but limited exchanges. Data reliability/accuracy/up time = Dtn. But both are true tick feeds. Esig = > historical data. Data speed= About...

    Sogo Invest, - New King of Brokers - $1.5 for 5000 shares

    Genesis Lite? Might be less filling but does it taste great? Good for low volume traders but shares over 5k go off at .005. Sort of like a reverse prop pricing model.

    How much do you need?

    Depends on you. Some will tell you 5k. Others will say 25k. Still some will say 50k. Who is right? Who is wrong? Depends on you. What will you trade? Futures, stocks, options? I started when I was 17 with 5k trading corn options. Promptly blew out. Dont recall how long it took...

    Cash, What are you trying to accomplish for your scans in general? TI is different in that you have to decipher icon filters, some of which are canned (not under your control) and some which are still canned but can be filtered, and some which you can set yourself. Ti is NOT in the vein...

    Is IB's Data Good Enough For Scalping?

    At 1 minute time frame, your concerns are no problem T-Dog. Other than occasional bad tick, which is common to ALL feeds. IB sends the data in sub 1 second bursts, so while you might miss a couple prints, you are very unlikely to miss the prints that make the highs/lows.

    Anyone Trading With IB using Ensignsoftware for charting?

    Ensign and IB is one of the easiest to set up. I used to use that combo for DAX and HSI through IB. No problems. Since I dont trade those markets at present I let my Ensign sub lapse. But I would not hesitate to renew. Whats your questions? Have you checked Ensign website...

    Is IB's Data Good Enough For Scalping?

    Thunderdog, Kowboy and Dandxg nailed the slight problems with IB feed. A) Historical sometime does not jibe B) Use the feed only. Dont run IB charts I will add this one. IB feed is not true tick for tick. It is an aggregate. So if you trade tick charts this could be a concern...
