    Are there any mentors out there?

    That sounds very good - I am currently studying some of Nassim Taleb's methods for options trading as a side new venture.

    Are there any mentors out there?

    I have done this in the past and used it as a mini vacation to take a break from the normal routine and do something different - but I will say that this was done with people that had happened to live in cool places. I charged a fee that was negotiated to cover my travel expenses and time spent...

    Are there any mentors out there?

    fxpipx - I have been doing extensive backtesting for one of my fully mechanical trade systems on different currencies (which are new to me - just started trading the EC this past month). What does "cable" mean from your last post, and what currencies in your opinion have the most volatility...

    What is the name of the following strategy...

    In the futures market that is HFT - high frequency trading. This is usually an automated and fully mechanical system that does not use any indicators/signals while "on" - the system is turned on by the users for market conditions determined from extensive backtesting.

    Economics of Renting vs. Owning

    Probably the best way to own property is to buy at the lows of an economic cycle, in a desirable area that has a lower than average property tax rate (buy higher end foreclosures if possible). So load up on the cash and get ready for the next downturn - my eyes are on Las Vegas and Tahoe.

    Economics of Renting vs. Owning

    Just my opinion here - if you are required to pay property taxes on your home (everyone...LOL!) then you never really do own it. You just own the "rights" to pay the tax for that section of property....LOL! Vhat A Contry! :D Thomas Jefferson warned us about that one.

    I agree with you completely - that is why I am going to move to the dual feed capability.

    I think the new version of NT coming out in the next few months will have some of those changes - there is a "user defined function" feature that I would like them to add also.

    "TRANSACT HAS ONE OF THE BEST AND SOLID DATA FEED They had brief problems with Trade Navigator interface" I highly disagree with this statement - Transact had a great feed there for a while, and then they had all the TM w/Transact feed mess - which is still unknown to what the real...

    Transact with what platform? Trademaven platform is imploding and the Transact platform with their feed is clunky from the test i did.

    Yes I have been talking with Paul at Vcap about dual feeds and I may do this also versus just the TT feed - seems like a prudent idea with all of the tech issues we encounter as traders from time to time.

    What Brokerage Firm Would You Recommend For Automated Trading?

    I would avoid Tradestation if you have a tight and profitable system - go with XTrader through www.vcapfutures.com or www.velocityfutures.com There are better ways to run your dual data strategy with better data feeds than TS's.

    For the present time a VCap Futures NinjaTrader platform with TT feed is perfect for non-automated mechanical and scalp, position, or swing trading. For automated trading, the XTrader platform is exceptional (also there is www.smartquant.com which ties into XTrader). If you are into high...

    Futures market opening bracket trades

    Today took a while but the EC had some long account positions stopped out and the short account made the hit for a 1.3% trade. My ES trade had price bounce back and forth a few times prior to the long account which had the final bracketed area bust for a 1.1% profit. I initially had two...
