Ditch, Stardust Thanks - got the Price Histogram up now (obvious really with hindsight :) . Ditch, absolutely will be looking at longer term profiles along the lines you outlined. Thx

Ditch, (+ others), Just installed Ensign and trying to find Market profile capabilities - just to check I am not looking for something that may not be there- is the profile you posted above a standard Ensign feature or is it something you have custom scripted? On MP, I am using...

Just to clarify on what I mean by disconnects. While there are times when the actual internet is down and nothing works, how often you are disconnected is generally a function of the sensitivity of an app to things like packet loss and rerouting and service halts. Some apps take it in their...

An added reason for using non ATM orders is of course that they are on the brokers server and safe from local internet issues (unless you want to cancel ofr change!) In the above post I have put market when i meant limit but cant edit it due to some rule.

In a nutshell yes you can daytrade, certainly to Hong Kong, but due to transoceanic latency some speed based scalping strategies in US products may not be viable. Just a few days ago there was obviously some upgrading done and I now have a virtually packet loss free connection. Quality seems...

Trading seems to be characterised by expensively relearning things you thought you knew already (at least for us mortals). On a more serious note it has a lot to do with not making mistakes ie winning by not losing - the old point about winners winning by not making errors - make money by...

Charting: HSI Futuresource/esignal cover it, CQG does not. Due to problems with esignal I now use Sierra/TWS/Scmagic. Nikkei SGX esignal and I think also futuresource cover it TOPIX - Difficult TWS/Sierra but no SC Magic coverage. Obviously BBG/Reuters cover for a price. No TT...

Thanks for your input trdinglife - wil take a look. There's something very alluring about that distribution curve.............

I did check it out and as I said above couldn't really see anything that I was not already seeing, which was the point of my thread. Hence the question to try and get some feedback on wether there was nothing really there or I just wasn't seeing it. Thank you, I can get a pretty good idea on...

Depemds on your ISP's routing but be aware there seem to be bottlenecks in HK internet infrastructure that cause problems at crucial levels (i.e. when everybody is pressing refresh on their browser). Also, to the best of my most fair judgement it seems to me that the IB server has crashed on...

Ping to US is around 2XXms vs 3XX to HK from Thaland. Not sure what that signifies about either IB routing or server location or my ISP's routing. Suspect my ISP.

I'm also really interested if anyone is using MP to pull money out of the markest. to me it looks great in hindsight the same way a chart does. Whenever I have looked a t a MP chart realtime I have always got the feeling that it is not telling me anything that I can't see from a normal chart...

If they offer guaranteed stops they are not covering the trade i.e. not laying it off in the market. There are no guaranteed stops in the interbank market, only when someone is running a paper P&L.............................

BTW I was urged to get around to posting this info due to the headaches I have been having with broadband - mainly a problem with the data transmission cutting out for a minute or more. Seems to be a big problem with java based programs, not a problem with a dealing platform I used written when...

Deon, I would skim the pages of this http://www.phuketgazette.net/ and when it gets mentioned again follow up with the journalist or maybe just send an email to the editor as it seems people are watching this develpment like hawks down there (due to it being percieved as positive for property...

Finally got around to this....... Internet often problematic, especially during business and Thai stock exchange hours - better in US hours. - my biggest problem - after a year still sorting things out - caused far more headaches than any trading issue (including why did I do that? type...

Most funds bought China indirectly through regional companies that benefited from China e.g. basic materials, e.g Steel, Petrochem, industrial metals and shipping. The sell off has started.

Harry, Re: "Beware also when someone send you an email (under any pretext and sometimes it pretexts an error from the provider) when you click on his message and that your firewall says a remote computer attempts to access your computer" Do you have any more details I am very suspicious after...

Zonealam drove me crazy but I have installed a free program called Winpatrol from www.winpatrol.com that has blocked changes scumware was attempting to make. On this occasion it was a self installing piece of scumware called sys.exe that was trying to change home and search page. People who...

My experience of Pest Patrol is that it was USELESS. Twice now it has failed to find pests that other software has found. I advise people not to waste their time using their free scan let alone paying for it. I lost a LOT of trading days because this thing did not do what it was supposed to...
