    Switching from equities to futures

    I use MP but perhaps not in the classical ay, more of a another way of looking at volume and likely S/R and where we are in a short term cycle. Read Mind over Markets (which deals with MP) for how markets move/auction, CBOT hand book also. This (originally posted on ET by Cutten) is about...

    Switching from equities to futures

    I think it unlikely you will be able to get away from the games even in ES. The main issues I found was that I was not used to the greater degree of elasticity and whipsaws in futures. For me equities was about patterns rather than ranges and elasticity which characterises my take on futures...

    business leadership books

    I still think my choices are good. Macheavelli is all about pretending to be one thing whilst actually being another. Ideal stuff for the aspiring CEO who has to talk about "mission statement" and "values" and "giving your best for the company" while he negotiates the terms that allows him to...

    TA in new markets/exchanges

    Technical analysis works in obscure markets because they are predominently retail driven, but on the other hand you have thousands of local traders who are smart, better connected, kbnow their stocks and watching and acting on every print, so don't get any ideas that it is a cakewalk. In...

    4/6/8 screen setup

    I picked up a new AppianX for USD2xx, although I would be wary that spec whilst adequate for my needs may be too far behind the curve for installing now (i.e. at end 2005 vs 2003).

    Which forex brokers DON'T trade against you ???

    The problem is not so much that someone may be making a decision to take the other side of your trade vs lay it off in the market, that is what banks normally do, the problem is that you are trading against someone who knows your position, how much buying power you have in your account and makes...

    Data feed overload in live testing!?

    Some of us have been experiencing latency with Market orders, maybe you could try a marketable limit as a workaround.

    Bankruptcy filing said possible for Refco LLC - The regulated futures unit

    Thanks CPTrader, the structure you have suggested makes [common, but maybe not commercial or legal] sense. Commercially, If you had most of the exchange memberships you don't want the duplication, just the customer accounts.

    Bankruptcy filing said possible for Refco LLC - The regulated futures unit

    Thx, but I am not able to draw a firm conclusion from that release. It gives the impression of business as usual but does not clarify if this is a transfer of assets with exchange memberships remaining as an asset of Refco LLC or if the membrships are being included in the deal, something that...

    Bankruptcy filing said possible for Refco LLC - The regulated futures unit

    Just to seek clarification, does this means that the exchange memberships will not be transferred to the buyer?

    Trading with Market Profile

    Maybe don't need that level of accuracy, what I really want to know is when 'they' bought, then ramped it to a distribution level did 'they' close or reverse all today or, as often seems the case does it go over to another day before the next stage. Sometimes you can get a feel for this just be...

    Trading with Market Profile

    Any names of 3rd party apps that offer true volume profiling and market profile - particularly any which can build a multi day profile of any length as per CQG. Also any TS apps that offer something similar to Marketdelta's 'Marketdelta' indicator and bid ask strikes indicator. Something...

    Invasion of the Stock Hackers

    Anyone know of a program that scans for that type of activity or will a normal AV scan pick it up? Another reason never to keep all funds with one broker.
