    Can NinjaTrader take an IB feed.

    yes it can take the feed but backfill isn't possible since NT needs a true tick feed (according to a NT representative some months ago...).

    Price Action Journal V1.5

    I have some problems with my stops. In the last couple of weeks, volatily increased and my logical stops (according to PA, stop below/above last swing low/high) became much wider than normal (entry bars getting longer and longer...). How do you handle this? I mean, it doesn't make sense to use...

    How to maintain same mindset everyday?

    I know exactly what you mean. I can trade pretty consistent for many days or weeks and then *BOOM* one day's loss wipes out a big chunk of my former profits. When I then review the past weeks, I usually see that all comes down to: cutting the winners a little bit too early and on the one...

    FX Futures Contracts to Launch November 6 on ICE Futures U.S

    that's true, as an european trader I was looking for a contract which I can trade in the morning (european time) but there are very few days with enough liquidity in the morning (6E) and I ended up trading it the same hours like NQ, ES... One million seems big... I'm fine with 125000 :)

    CHF 'No longer a safe haven'

    Although Swissquote has a banking license, they focus on the brokerage business and I'm not sure if they have a broad variety off savings accounts. Check out their website for further details... Swiss national bank has sold most of their gold as the CHF isn't bound to gold anymore...

    How do you not get pissed off when you cash in trade to early??!!

    happens to me all the time... but you have to consider, that it's really the correct decision cashing in with a (strong) support/resistance ahead... I have to say to myself, that this was just one of 1000 opportunities which are coming... and they are going to come...

    Price Action Journal V1.5

    Maybe a stupid question: As we all know, a trend is established after 2 HH/2 HL or 2 LH/2 LL... but: A high or a low is subjective. What is your definition of a high/low? I mean, how many bars n before/after the current bar do you count to consider the current bar as "the" low? The...
