Hi, some new goodies at www.futures-trader.net: FT displays a continues Volume/minute indicator in the watchlist for US stocks and futures. Foreign exchanges are supported, if the datafeed selected delivers any volume information at all. This means Eurex trader get Volume information on the...

moonriver, will take a look at the issue of Stop limit orders and see what can be done. If they are held at the exchange fine, otherwise, you have the risk of a IB-Globex connection breakdown, as you have it with every exchange which supports no Stops or Stop market orders only. But I'm...

moonriver, imho, its not supported by globex or any other exchange I know of. That's why IB holds them. So a Stop limit is sure possible, but IB will hold it anyway.And you should really consider, whether you want to risk your Stop with a 3% limit order. Gann said, when your Stop is hit, you...

Moonriver, you can enter with a limit order at the ask, or submit the same order with an offset of x ticks, if you wish, or you can enter at market, to make sure you get a fill. A real chase function is not implemented. If I place a limit order at ask, for a long, which then backs away from...

Hi, just wanted to let you know, that I posted a new FuturesTrader version. FT 1.78 fixes some bugs and turns the clock back on the Demo Orderfill module to the method used prior to V 1.75. So you will get partial fills again. Automatic saving of the Reports caused problems, so back to...

Hi, some new toys and goodies from www.futures-trader.net Reverse at Stop: When in a position, you have the option to use a Trailing Stop / Reverse, when hit. The Trailing Stop will not only cover but reverse your position, using the Reversal parameter used for the Reverse at Market button...

I have a lot of people using FT for API 6.0. So it should work fine. Chris

Yannis, no problem at all. In FuturesTrader everything is done with the mouse wheel. You want bigger targets: Point your mouse to the number on the Button you want to change and turn the wheel. That's it. This works also with the Trailing Stop Buttons, btw. The next release will save...

If you use FuturesTrader on a non US Windows version, which does not use the Dot <.> as Decimaldelimiter, you need to manually update your Tickers. especially the Minimumticksize needs to be set manually, as FT at the moment doesn't know about the Decimaldelimiter used on your system. See the...

Hi, FuturesTrader version 1.71 adds some features which where asked for in the Group and involve additions to the Trading module. So take your time to get aquainted with them, before using the new features in your real trading account. Let's see the details: FuturesTrader goes...

Sorry, the link to the new V1.70 FuturesTrader version had not been updated. Its working now. Best regards, croc www.futures-trader.net

Hi, I just posted the new FuturesTrader version V1.70, which I hope you update to, if you use FT at all, so we are at the same level again. It fixes some problems which came up, after I added the small mode. Also added a feature in the small mode to toggle the account and trade details on...

Hi, again a new version, but an interesting one, I think. First a bugfix for the E-Signal feed, which did not request Futures from ESignal correctly Then a Make Small button, to reduce Futures Trader to the trading part only. No Charts, or other info, just the Watchlist and the Trading...

Re the documentation: I just added a new Documentation link on my Website (www.futures-trader.net), where in the future you will find the whole FuturesTrader documentation. It's a start and 4 small chapters have been included already. croc

Hi, I'm in the process of writing a new documentation, but it will still take a while (I think about 2 weeks). In the meantime there is the old doc on my website www.futures-trader.net and the Whats new list, which describes any new features added to the system until today. If you have...

cafeole, generally, you should never install any unknown software on your main trading station. Even if an uninstall is performed, most software leaves program chunks behind, which over timee will slow down your computer or, worse, make it instable. So the way to go, is to have a second...

Hi to you all reading this thread, I have two datafeeds in FuturesTrader, but I would really love to add further ones, if you send me the info I need to add the feed. I really need your help here. You don't give away any secrets, and no, noone else sent me the info prior to you, so...

Jimmy I suspect you have a 21" display where u use FT. On these it's small, I know, as I myself used to use it on such a screen. But most of the folks using FT have 17 or 19" screens with resolutions of 1024x768 or 1280x1024. I had to drastically scale down FuturesTrader to have it fit on these...

I really would like to, but thats expensive. I now have ESignal and IB datafeeds, so it was natural to add, but other datafeeds cost money for something you get for free. If someone can provide me with an API plus description for another datafeed, I sure would be willing to look into the matter...

Rah, yes you can use FuturesTrader now to papertrade without IB account, if you have an ESignal Datafeed. Contact me at croc1964@web.de if you have problems to get it running. I can't comment on execution speed compared to J_Trader, as I don't use it. Between TWS entry or FuturesTrader entry...
