    TradeStation - pros and cons please?

    I know of 8 TS users from my own location who have left TS for other data providers in the last 6 to 12 months --- main reason was lagging or disrupted data as compared to other charting services at the exact same time. TS may have some servers that are worse than others depending on what part...

    Scalping Index futures

    I can manually trade scalps plays with NinjaTrader very easily as the platform is great for that type of trading (Zen-fire feed is very fast for order execution)....but the ultimate is to automate your method if possible and trade with XTrader. btw, scalping in the direction of the heavy...

    Scalping Index futures

    On a $20,000 account, all you have to do is average 2 profitable two tick scalps per day with a 3 lot. If you can do this you are making over .005% return per day, and with growing position size weekly you will be on your way to very very successful trading. The mind set of most traders is...

    Trading Bollinger Bands Volatility Breakouts

    Yes, "bracket" the breakout area BEYOND the 80% of head fakes (backtested data) range. You should have 2 ranges backtested and selected to start this method; 1) A specifically defined bollinger band range (tighter congestion areas) from which you would be allowed to take a breakout trade...

    TradeStation out this AM!!!

    OK.........I have used Esignal, Ensign, Qcharts, Neoticker, CQG and several others in the past....Ensign with Esignal feed seems like a good set-up these days. Once XStudy is re-released then all you have to use is the XStudy charting for free with an XTrader 7 account. In the mean...
