Boomer, you said you use Rithmic as your feed. Do you use it with NinjaTrader or other platforms as well?

Movie was great! Let's see... There are no wall street traders, just quants who create bullshit products that no one understands unless explained in "plain english". Risk models that always break and then it's too late. A sales team that needs to dump the products the quants created...

We all need an escape.....

I laughed first, then doubted it's possible, then became jealous..now I want to know if she takes customers for lunch. too much LOL

That is not true. The exchange and the technology companies make all the money. Brokers make the least.

Call TT...see if the feed is down.

I would try and hook up Rithmic to Esignal. http://www.rithmic.com/partners.html Under technology partners, you will see that Esignal is there. Maybe the platform is ok, just the feed is bad....most are bad. RG

One of my friends was a big trader in Montreal before the net days, and he said that slowly all the banks have shut down their futures operations in Toronto. He said they used to dislike the futures brokers as they just maintained them for their big equity guys. There is IB in Canada and...

TD (Toronto Dominion) is a canadian based bank, and those banks have a very low risk tolerance towards futures traders. So, I am not sure what support futures traders will get as a result of this. Also, this reminds me of when OptionsXpress bought XpressTrade which at the time was a very...

What platform do you use? You can integrate some directly into the APIs without writing the post separately.

I think these guys have a monopoly on the events: http://www.tradersexpo.com/tradersexpo/main.asp Seen one, seen them all. "Here's my mouse pad...can i scan your badge" education by guys who have never traded. The coffee is ok.

I think his name was Elan or Ilan. Nice guy, from what I recall.

"95%" is such dirty statistic. You have those who guess randomly, those who attended a webinar/seminar and jumped in because trading is "cool", those who see ET and try to do do half-A&$, etc. How many of the 95% truly dedicated themselves to learn, explore and make intelligent mistakes that...
