    Automated Trader vs Manual Trader

    Great point - nice way of describing a proper perspective. I would also say, why would someone even TURN ON an automated system until they have done almost everything possible to make sure the system is tight. Now can we say that about most manual traders. :)

    Open E Cry Problems

    Numerous brokers have had a rash of feed/platform problems over the last 6 months (some worse than others :D ) - so don't leave a broker you may like over one problem. Give OEC a chance to verify to you what the problem actually was. Does the OEC platform have dual feed capability at this time?

    Automated Trader vs Manual Trader

    Yes, and automated trading can work very well, but imo you do have to baby sit the system when it is "on". It would not be wise for a person to let an automated system trade without real-time oversight.

    Data/Trading Platforms

    Luke - I was never able to get a good feel with the Navigator set-up for the trading I do. I had also talked to the Genesis booth reps at the last online trade expo about TradeNavigator, but I was not all that impressed with the platform. Hopefully they will turn this into a great product...

    Execution Speed

    Velocity Futures has a data center in Chicago where you can place a server based automated strategy with XTrader. The connection there is exceptional and they have some good rates. I am sure you could find several other Chicago based brokers with data centers there if you need the speed. :)

    Developing a Trading System Step by Step

    Murray, No -- I want to measure the range of the first thirty minutes after the open, and the speed or momentum of the ORB during this time. I would like to set a number of points parameter and see how fast each futures product I trade will break out of this bracketed area. The product...

    Looking for profitable forex strategies...I'll pay or back someone, or partner up

    I think the only way to play the currency futures game is with no signals - just set up mechanical entry/exit packages at the most reactive times for the currencies you are trading (at news releases, and market opening times). Trap that currency with a mechanical method when the price is at...

    strategy to trade future.

    Developing a Trading System Step by Step

    Murray, For example - I would want to JUST use the first thirty minutes of the U.S. markets opening period for the ES, YM, NQ, ER2, EC, etc to see how these futures contracts react during that first thirty minute period, to use the data to build up a ORB potential measurement tool. For the...

    Developing a Trading System Step by Step

    OK - that sounds great! Now we could just look at the previous ten trading days from the historical data (for the first 30 minutes after each market open) for a basket of futures products, and then use this information to build up a "ORB potential" measurement device.....see what I am getting...
