    Booktrader vs. Ninjatrader, Buttontrader, etc.

    Tried a number of different settings for BookTrader. Would be still using it today if I hadn't found ButtonTrader. Compared to Ninja Trader, Bracket Trader, etc, I didn't see a big enough advantage to use them instead of BookTrader. There are just too many more benefits using...

    Where to buy / purchase Emini Regular Trading Hour data??

    I just purchased their 1 minute data for the ES and ER2, going back as far as the contracts has been trading, '99 or so. Inexpensive, cost me $48 total. A couple of things, I had to convert to EST from CST, CME provides data in Chicago time zone. No problem, they offer a free conversion...

    Happiness is working for yourself

    Yep, I'm in. Don't know if I will make it since I've been in it for only few months full time. But I can say that corporate life is not for independent thinkers. Not that I was very independent, I endured the 9-5 grind for 9 years. Man, I hope this works out....

    Booktrader vs. Ninjatrader, Buttontrader, etc.

    Different subscription level for ButtonTrader. Cheapest is $65 for 3 months which works out to $22 a month. BookTrader seems back-assward, clicking the ask price to sell. IB should buy out ButtonTrader. It could be a selling feature for TWS and the traders could get it for free. Are...

    CME/CBOT hiding traders identification

    WSJ had an article today saying that the id will no longer published. It becomes effective on April 30th on the CME. Apparently an owner of a brokerage firm felt there was not enough action to eliminate this advantage, so he told the exchanges that he was going to exploit the advantage...

    ER2 Leading Indicators?

    VSTScalper, That is one beautiful chart. THANKS! edit: In addition, perhaps one could use a Russell 2000 TICK/TRIN instead of the NYSE TICK/TRIN. Might be useful.

    Whats in your toolbox?

    Pivot point calculator. Must be tons of them on the web. Calculation is not difficult. You could learn to do it in your head. Since everyone has been using it since before the PC revolution, not sure how much of an advantage it will give you. Better tool would be something that told...

    Good books for index futures trading?

    Understanding E-Minis: Trading to Win by Jerry Williams Really quite nice. You can tell the author actually trades. Practical information. There's nothing revolutionary but it brings all the pieces that you need together in one place. General TA stuff, candlesticks, double top/bottoms...

    Ice...wtf??????????

    It would be hard to buy at this point. Drop was due to them likely to lose a lot of the electronic energy business to CME/NYMEX. It's possible CME/NYMEX could merge in the future. But CME seems pretty pricey at the moment. Maybe buy an ETF/mutual fund that tracks the leaders like...

    Chicago Mercantile Exchange seeks IPO this year

    I think even as a daytrader, you might have an IRA account that you hold long term stocks. That's where you can hold stocks like CME. CME, NYX and NDAQ. Man, that would have been one helluva of a portfolio.

    Screener

    I'm looking for a service that will allow me to screen for stocks that have 3-4 or more months of rising stock price. IBD doesn't. Most of the other online services don't appear to offer this.

    Data providers

    iqfeed, Thanks for your reply. I'll definitely give it a try. nutsojob, Since DTN is built on top of iqFeed, Amibroker can use DTN. In fact, I use Amibroker and they have a link that describes this situation, it even includes a link to an elitetrader thread where iqfeed had replied.
