Murray, I want to do something like this for futures contracts at the opens of various world markets - I want to build a rolling measure of the "reactiveness" and breakout potential for futures products only during the period of market opens (for the ES, NQ, YM, ER2, ZB, TY, EC, DAX, N225...

Who ever sent that should be "shorted" with a 1500 lot! That is BS if someone here sent that to you! :mad:

Think about all the people that suddenly broke the 4 minute mile right after Roger Bannister did it. _____________________________________________________________________ Bannister stuns world with 4-minute mile By BRUCE LOWITT © St. Petersburg Times, published December 17, 1999...

Interesting point about management - explain more for me please!

Pabst - the RT posting you have here, is exactly why I have said to find ways to use the markets own nature against itself. Find something the market does everyday (goes up and down, trends, or chops) and take advantage of it. There has never been a time in the last 100 years that I can find...

"When I say purely mechanical, what I mean is that price action is processed by a numerical algorithm to produce buy and sell orders." ______________________________________________________________________ - the above statement is something I have never done, as I do not use any...

Today for instance, at 1267.50 (ES daily 200 SMA price level) I had a zone in which to run one of my ES mechanical trade systems. I had a mechanical trade in place that was unbiased for 2 points above and below the 1267.50 level to form a 4 point zone. In the zone, mechanical entries and...

I think mechanical systems (no chart indicators needed) are the only way to go for the ES, but you have to find a way to have what you are doing "mechanically" take advantage of something the instrument does almost everyday. In other words, mechanically trap the instrument within its own...

Keep everything simple in the beginning as you learn what type of trading will work best with your personality and risk tolerance. Esignal is good for charting and fairly easy to use, and I like NinjaTrader for a futures trading platform.

Murray, did you catch my question here? Thanks!

www.smartquant.com is awesome for backtesting but I am trying to see what capabilities TradersStudio has also.

To "think" as extremely different as possible from all others. :D

Murray, I have been following the ORB thread with interest, because I have a market opening bracket trade strategy that I trade with various futures products. Could a person build up a ten day rolling average ORB measurement "indicator" for different products with Traders Studio. If I...

The placement of the stops are important, so all I will say is that you have to do a good deal of backtesting to find out the exact area that will work best for the spacing that is used. I do not have my stops where you mention. I think there is enough information out for someone to run...

This is not a HFT operation - the examples shown were different ways to be scaled into and out of a position by trending price movement. Every "limit" cover shown would be at a profit - none would be a churning or a breakeven cover.

Yes you are correct - you have scaled in "stop-limit" entries with "limit" scale out covers from the examples.

Cool - I may be out that way next month! :)

If you want the RUSH you gotta do some "X" - http://www.tradingtechnologies.com/xtrader.aspx

I have been on the NT w/TT feed and no problems....this feed is very good imo. I will probably go to dual feed soon for additional redundancy. Where are you trading from...what city?

Anyone here using this service to get heads up info for economic news releases, or ECB activity for trading currencies during news releases? http://www.tradethenews.com/products-audio-news.php Also, how good is this service in the overnight when the EU markets are active? Thanks
