Agreed, Sarasota. I continue to learn a great deal from Ed. He teaches a fundamental trading approach in a methodical way. It requires persistance & application to learn - as do all genuine trading methodologies as far as I can see - and, unlike the various mechanical trading systems I have been...

Thanks, Nitro.

Nitro - obviously you've considered an IB options account, but are not happy to leg in and out of spreads. I am just opening an IB options account in which I intend to use OEX debit spreads, legging into the long position first, legging out of the short positon first. Have you found this to...

Pabst & deepitm - thanks.

Thanks. It looks to me like the full SP futures options are similar in volume to the OEX, & presumably 2.5 times larger in value. Pabst - did you mean 'open interest', rather than 'volume', on 2 Jan (if not, my opening comment re OEX / SP being similar may be wrong) ? I am indeed trading...

Thanks, Pabst - I'd be grateful for the link to the source of that information, so I can compare OEX with full SP options.

I am thinking of switching from swing trading OEX options to using SP emini futures options : does anyone have a clear understanding of the relative merits of OEX versus emini options, eg. liquidity (good with OEX) & spread size (not so good with OEX) ? J-Trade (Btw, I also trade emini...

Hey, thanks everyone - a lot of interesting replies to consider. I've also just started watching the PREM. Anyone using multiple tick charts in grops , eg 25/75/150 ? J-Trade.

Still on my early-learning curve to day trade the emini with consistent success, I am now trying to learn more about the use of tick charts. The shortest time frame I presently use is the 1 min chart, but I understand there may be significant advantages to also use tick charts, perhaps of...

Splurge - you can register for TS6 from a friend's address, if you know someone in the US, then after a couple of months, send a change of address to your actual address. It has been known to work ;-) .

No problem, WarEagle - appreciated your attempts to help. On a wider note, there must be a lot of copies of 2000i out there that are no longer in use - as I mentioned, I'm obtaining a copy from someone who has upgraded to Pro - so there must be ways other than via eBay to find them, even if...

WarEagle, The method you kindly suggest does indeed plot the indicators within the same sub-graph. However, in TS Pro, there is no way to adjust the scaling to fit them together - I am told that this is not the case in 2000i. I've now had TS support confirm that the feature I want is not...

WarEagle - I want to overlay INDU, SPX, SOX, & NQ into a single graph. This is possible in TS2Ki, but in TS Pro you can only have a row of graphs within the same window, which uses up my very valuable screenspace. A small, but critical detail. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think TS2Ki is...

I am trialling TS6 (as TS Pro is now called) & whilst it is a great deal, there are some features not presently included from TS2Ki that have led me to source a copy of the earlier program : 1. I trade from a single notebook screen (very high res 1600 x 1200) & need to save screenspace. TS6...

Thanks for your full response, WarEagle.

As a subscriber to Ed Moore's Rhythm of the Markets / Option Magic course, I was able to take up a special offer, ie. same as any TS user. This gives you TS Pro @ $99/month for which you receive real time stocks, indices, ES + NQ (ES + NQ +$10/month after 6 months) plus 15 min delayed futures...

Does anyone know where the main TS or TS Pro user group is ? I'm trialling TS Pro, which interestingly is now lower cost than Ensign + eSignal, but I can't find in Help how to overlay an index over a price chart. I presume this must indeed be possible in the mighty TS ! Any help greatly...

Thank-you both.

I'd be very grateful if one of the experienced IB users would please let me know if I should use the browser, standalone or beta TWS with my new IB account ? I think the standalone used to be the prefrerred choice, but I hear the browser version is now greatly improved.

Thanks for your very fast response, Kembo. I'm using W2000 on my new computer, which has not crashed once in the 4 months I've been using it.
