    trade the E-micro EUR/USD M6E ?

    If you already have a futures account, the M6E is clearly the better option than opening a forex account just to downsize your leverage. Not to mention that forex brokers have a well-deserved reputation for corruption, data-feed manipulation, bid-rigging, stop-running, & many, many more...

    trade the E-micro EUR/USD M6E ?

    Just watch it live, & you will see everything you need to know. Price does not match exactly only because there are no executions, and the chart only records executions. The price at which YOU can buy or sell it, however, (the bid/ask) will always be the same as the 6E. Spread is usually...

    DDE, Win7, OpenOffice, ThinkOrSwim

    Do you have Google Chrome running? I have TOS running on Windows 7, and Chrome will block the DDE - but it works fine as soon as Chrome is closed (no re-start or anything).

    Where is my ddedll.dll?

    Has anyone figured out the solution to this? I have tried most everything posted in this thread, & then some. I uninstalled all java, re-installed it - first 32b, then 64b, then repeated, but in reverse order - then the same process with TWS uninstall/reinstall . . & so forth. TWS...

    CME Down

    That's an outdated call to action to protest in the streets on Nov 5th, 2011, dude.

    Strategy Runner/StrategyXChange.com

    Keep in mind that Strategy Runner does not carry any orders across the close. All strategies are deleted, and GTC's are not supported. You will have to either be there in-person to re-start any exit strategies upon the next market open, or get SR to write a custom strategy that will replace...

    Warning: Online Trading Academy (tradingacademy.com)

    That was a great article. Unfortunately, for some reason the link in your post wouldn't work for me. I googled it, & here's the link (maybe this will help other people read it). http://articles.latimes.com/2011/apr/03/business/la-fi-amateur-currency-trading-20110403 Thanks, btw . .

    NYMEX 12/20 6pm

    Paused for some reason - don't know what's up or why - can't find anything on CME website about it or anything.

    Observation: the market pays you for a service

    HFT, depending on the strategy employed, definitely falls into one of the categories you listed in the above two posts - especially arb'ing and range/band-trading. It's just done faster & on automatic. So if the above services can be considered valuable to the market, HFT just provides more...

    Sierra Charts / MultiCharts

    Also, are you running Sierra version 795 or higher ? (current version is 797, and prerelease is 798). Here's one of the bullet-points from the "What's New" page of SierraCharts at the 795 update: " - Resolved a program freezing/deadlock problem that occurred under certain conditions when...

    Sierra Charts / MultiCharts

    I run a Rithmic/ZF feed in one instance of Sierra, and a CTS feed directly below it - also in Sierra, and haven't noticed any differences lately. What is it doing that you are unsatisfied with? I.e., what does "bars are off" mean? Inaccurate - as compared to a different data feed? Just...

    MF Global Canada clients to get All their money back by Dec 2

    Giddens would never let this happen in the US. He has a vested interest in delaying the proceedings, and a history of being successful at it.

    Mirus prop shop

    I run two data feeds from unrelated companies, one of which is Mirus/ZF. It never diverges from the other data feed. If they're running stops, everyone is running stops - all together, in unison. The market itself is the great stop-running machine in the sky. These guys just charge a fee...

    for Ninja 7.0 - Zenfire or CQG?

    Just as a basic observation, virtually all of the complaints I've seen have been post-Dorman. I.e., since AMP quit being an Introducing Broker and became a self-clearing FCM (within the last 1-2years or so).

    for Ninja 7.0 - Zenfire or CQG?

    Is this a serious question? Exacty what you fear most.

    for Ninja 7.0 - Zenfire or CQG?

    Mirus is an Introducing Broker, anyways. They don't have access to your funds, & your funds are not even deposited with them, but with Dorman or RCG (the clearing firms). I know nothing of Dorman, but RCG does not have a prop arm - or engage in prop trading. If Mirus went down (which is...

    Sierra Charts - Cumulative Delta Volume

    Hmm . . sounds useful, actually.

    Sierra Charts - Cumulative Delta Volume

    I run 2 instances of Sierra above/below each other on different monitors. One is CTS, & the other Rithmic/ZF. Each is a different broker. I love it. Couldn't be happier. I have no idea what any of those indicators mentioned in the OP are, though . .
