I look for breakouts. On stocks I probably hold more towards 5 mins. average. Here is a trade (that I missed, of course) on Friday. I should have placed a stop limit entry above the consolidation and would have got in about 93.06-.10. And closed out 3 minutes later.

Hi, This must have been discussed somewhere and if there is a recent thread please direct me. Or we can start again here. Don Bright said somewhere that he trades mostly equities. I have been focussing more on futures but have had slightly more success with equities (lost less) . I hold both...

Don, I'm fairly new to the forum but really appreciate your input on the threads I read. I see you inferred that equities might be better at this time than futures and was wondering if you can expand on that. Margin is not a problem (or not unless I keep losing money:)) so the $25,000...

One more question to bother you with Mark , On the right side is the ask price in red (going up about 6 prices) and on the left are the bids in blue (on your screen 4 contracts have just being sold) What are the blurry munbers in grey in the center column?

OK, a bit more depth than what I see on IB but not so much that I need to miss sleep over it. Appreciate it. Robert

HI Mark, Would it be possible for you to send a screen shot of your level II for dax. What I get with IB market depth is four lines either side of bid and ask telling the size of the bid but nothing more. I am wondering what you see. Robert

Thanks all! I just found los.net and took a free trial with them , will try the others later. What other goodies are recommended? I see bloomberg terminal is over $2000/month so out of my reach. I have the tV channel but dont listen to it much. Do you use level II for futures trading Don?

Yannis;"Did you see how KP did this past Friday? I counted 13 valid trades, netting about 5.5 pts/contract (when trading 3 contracts.)" +++++++++ Sorry to bother you again, your insights are very helpful. Could you explain this a bit more. Wouldn't the signals depend on time frame? and I have...

Hi Don and all, What box would you recommend for futures? preferably one on the cheaper side.

Thanks Mark, How do I get level II for dax and what am I looking at. Does it give the actual dax or am I looking at some of the main stocks that make up the index? IB has level II for Eurex availble for a reasonable price, and in fact a couple of months ago I subscribed to it but never got...

Nhoi: the indicators look like a combination of keltner channel, 2 MAs, and MACD histogram, all of unknown param. Yannis: KwikPop The KP indicators are mostly proprietary combinations of standard indicators. They will give you the methodology but will not reveal their code, and I...

Dear All, New to the board and had given up on software. Have tried (mostly wasted money) on metastock plugins, vantagepoint, tried omnitrader and gave it back and on. Still, based on what Yanni said I am going to take the trial on Kwikpop and see if there is anything there. Start on tuesday...

Dear mark, me again. I remeber seeing one of teh posts in this thread where you mentioned levelII but lost it. I use IB with ninja trader and get some idea of bid/ask pressure a couple of ticks either side. But how do I get the full benefit of level II , I always thought it was more for stock...

Dear Mark, I posted the message at the bottom on T2win board and then someone sent a message linking to this thread. I looked at elite trader a few months ago and found an excellent file on Tradestation but it wasn't enough to compell me to join. Your writing is. On Bloomberg, I subscribe to...

Hi Guys, Sorry for what is probably a stupid question. I trade emin futures but thought level II was more for stock traders? How do I get a level II that is relvant to the indices. Or is it that you look at the level II for some of the large stocks in the SP500? Or... I use Ib with Ninja...
