michael, trend following is a very fascinating area. But, don't you think that most retail guys will not be able to withstand it's volatility? go through draw down and walk out a live? interested in your perspective. BTW, I have read your Complete Turtle Trader and I did enjoy it although...

The ATM capability is very good. Allows me to scale positions and exit accordingly. But, I paid a life time for it. I guess that is the part where you do charge.

NinjaTrader with Rithmic.

paying 4.0 RT with Optimus Futures.

Walked into the BAC for a loan, saw they had brochures for Merrill Edge. Walked right out. This is my analysis.

I use Rithmic directly, but for those that use their white-label, why are the commissions higher? Many FX guys give their platforms as white label but I find the commissions (spreads) to be the same. When it comes to data, is that a different story?

I agree because for the most part you are right, but there are some books that have value in them. When I was a beginner I used to re-read the hard parts, which was the biggest mistake. I am not sure if the authors knew what they were talking about themselves. Skip the hard, get to the...

its really more about how they react to things as oppose to being reflected in the charts. it's good stuff..really.

Ray, my broker has turned me onto your platform. I like the ATM features a lot! It's nice to see the actual software guy here.

Thanks Murray, I will take a look at it. Your software has end of day or real time?

Yeah, they clear trough Vision Financial Markets and my account is with Optimus. Ask for Matt. Good guy, he owns the firm and I found out by coincidence. Always acts like one of the brokers, very helpful, and I respect that. I am paying $4.0 RT all in on NinjaTrader. this is the site...

Go with Rithmic directly via Optimus Trading Group. 5K minimum I think it's one year tick data ...

I have been in 2 systems that were rated as Top 10 in Futures mag. All were diversified, and here is my experience: I never had a gain in them. All hypothetical showed great results, while in reality they have been really disappointing. Further, when they go up, all instruments gain together...

I have a direct connection to Rithmic and all is working fine. Once a broker decides to get into the tech business, this is what you get..malfunctions.

yes, they do provide it.

I have been through a few brokers. I don't want to bad mouth anybody and I don't think you should either. But I will tell you where other brokers have failed: 1) putting me on a platform they know nothing about 2) quoted me commissions and when I received the statement they told me I did...

I think the only feeds I would use is Rithmic and/or IQ Feed. The charting with Rithmic and NinjaTrader has been great! I am testing IQ on multicharts I dislike the big brokerages, no help once you need it. You are a NOTHING to them. All they have to do is run a few more ads and find a...

I think what you did to calculate the total value of the contract was the right move! Although this is not what used for margin. I too often use this to understand how much leverage I am taking on my account. Day trading margins are determined by the brokerage. Dont go for the $500 day...

This is the best advice you received here! Here are some things to consider: 1) You will not have the same psychological make up when you trade other people's money. it's a different game all together. Been there. 2) Trading larger chunks of capital might entail a lower rate of...

I read his book, some parts were really good especially the ones he discuss how amateurs trade and how to identify that during the day. Some parts where he gets technical, I wanted to put a pencil in my eye, and then he showed some nice price action set up. To me the whole concept of Al is a...
