    Let's learn/discuss how to read the DOM and Time and Sales

    hmmm... just be careful, use that data as confirmation... don't use it to trade off it... IMO, given you use fib levels, I would use the T&S in an aggregate fashion to see what volume transacts at those levels and if things are holding or folding... that along with seeing what volume builds on...

    advantages/disadvantages trading TBond, 10 Yr or 5 Yr Notes ?

    I have to agree with SwanNoir, I think you are hoping... I mean... if you see things impacting you short term, trade that short term, while maintaining a long term trade on.. use the back months... minimize that loss.. all that I will say... for whatever is worth... :)

    Let's learn/discuss how to read the DOM and Time and Sales

    yes, and no... the Algo's used for OE (depending on the venue) will break any large orders... the number is not specified, it is variable... so the iceberg can be shooting orders in 1's or 5's or 10's or 50's or whatever, there is no "control" from the trader end... it is based on the order flow...

    Let's learn/discuss how to read the DOM and Time and Sales

    T&S are all different, and they can be customized... one of the best T&S windows I have found is with MarketDelta/InvestorRT ... CQG's is awful..(I use CQG btw) ...it allows you to aggregate the trades at big/ask... which will allow you to better understand what is really going on... otherwise...

    Let's learn/discuss how to read the DOM and Time and Sales

    lets state it a different way... there are offers to buy 785 contracts @ 53.75... there are offers to sell 1149 contracts @ 54 ... 8 contracts were sold into the bid... no trading takes place unless someone agrees to buy the ask or sell into the bid... so someone that was looking to get...

    Let's learn/discuss how to read the DOM and Time and Sales

    use in conjunction with your T&S and see if the T&S can do aggregation of trades on B/A basis... that will show you... just because someone sells 100 lot to the bid doesnt mean there were 100 on that side, that might have broken down on 1's, 5's 10's, 50's..etc...

    simple, someone sold into the bid... in order for 52 to go bid, 1533+ contracts have to be bought (assuming no icebergs selling at that level)...

    advantages/disadvantages trading TBond, 10 Yr or 5 Yr Notes ?

    hmmm... GRI global trader service report for bonds... I use their service, it provides me with another point of view against my own... IMO, well spent $$$.... The market is bullish, accelerating rallies late last week and creating a swing target to 14818. Trade is poised for continued...

    wow, if you are in APAC, never mind... shipping there from the USA and vice versa is a nightmare... whenever we have to move equipment from AMER/EMEA to APAC it is usually cheaper to just source it within APAC because of all the issues with shipping/import... so if you have a local source with...

    if you are doing a Xeon, then you can easily have two... so you can do 2xNVS310's and take full advantage of the bw... otherwise... just get the V4900... but keep in mind that you also need to keep in mind the monitors you will be using... I prefer to stay with native... so if DP on the GPU...

    it has nothing to do with being accountable (aka personal responsibility) ... Apple sells products because their products fulfill a function that people are willing to pay for (overpriced, but hey... )... putting a computer together is easy for those that understand what to order and how...

    yes, sky is the limit given a GPU can cost even more than the PC itself... but there is no chance you will use that while trading... so focus instead on the number of monitors you want to support and the resolution for those monitors and the refresh rate.... unless you are gaming and need 3D...

    yes, noise... because it is all pointless unless you(all) have clarity about what he needs, which he doesnt even seem to know himself... not everyone wants to build a computer, specially those that have no clue how to put one together (which would include him)... so yes... noise... because noise...
