    Bookmap - Anyone using it?

    This type of trading isn't for everyone but it is the clearest view of the market I have found and I find it useful. I would encourage anyone pursuing this type of trading (footprint from any vendor) to consider commodity/currency/bond markets first as they seem to be easier to trade using this...

    Bookmap - Anyone using it?

    *** I used to subscribe to the full book but rarely used the info so now I am just using the cheaper data feed. Unless you find a compelling reason for the data I would hesitate. *** Yes, it is quite different. Orderflows was introduced before Ninja added their version. What is different...

    Bookmap - Anyone using it?

    Based on my experience using a footprint chart and delta information it is a lot easier to identify points of interest in lower volume markets than the ES. I tried my method in the ES and to me, it seemed more difficult to identify when a passive seller or buyer is in control. It would be easier...

    Bookmap - Anyone using it?

    I have not used it although I evaluated it. I did not feel it offered an edge to me as I see everything I need to see using a footprint chart and volume delta. I think this is due to the markets I trade (ZS, 6E and CL); I think Bookmap would be more useful in the equity index markets. I hope...

    Man's Best Friend Thread.

    Close call. A couple of years ago I was trying to help a snapper across a road and was using a stick to guide it. It turned and bit the stick in half.

    GUNS!

    I filled out the form four at my FFL for the CMMG SBR on Thursday at noon and I was approved on Tuesday morning. My FFL said they have never seen a 2 business day turn around on any form four.

    GUNS!

    CMMG finally shipped my Banshee 45 SBR to my dealer; all I have to do now is wait on the ATF tax stamp. My two suppressors only took 45 days to approve and I hope I get lucky again. I am new to NFA items and if anyone is contemplating doing an SBR you would be better off buying the "pistol"...

    GUNS!

    The base Glocks might cost around 500 but add in the cost of a threaded barrel and optics cut they might be a bit more. I did a quick search on google and couldn't find a Glock for sale with these features so I have no clue what they are asking for them. I am not a fan of Glocks; I need a manual...

    GUNS!

    I paid 1321.00 but it included 5 15-round magazines. My FFL stocks the magazines and sells them for 50 dollars each so there was a bit of a discount on the gun itself. In my opinion, the gun is worth the money.

    GUNS!

    It is a double-action/single-action. I really like it.

    GUNS!

    I bought an FN FNX 45 tactical two weeks ago; LOVE IT. If anyone here is a 1911 fan you might want to check this gun out. 15 round magazine sure beats the 7 -10 round you will find in the 1911 world. I'd love to see them add a grip safety to it but it still has a manual safety (plus de-cocker)...

    The best thing about icey roads....

    I haven't left the house since last Sunday (one full week) due to the icy roads here. Sucks to be a working man and being forced to drive for your nine to five. We don't have the snow equipment here in Tennessee; they keep the State highways clear but not the back roads.

    Man's Best Friend Thread.

    I would take him to the Vet; maybe a medical issue? Maybe it is "sundowner's syndrome" which is a form of dementia.

    What benefits does a Bank CD have over a treasury?

    I may be wrong but a treasury will increase in value IF rates decline whereas with a CD even if rates drop down to zero you will still get just the face value and interest.

    GUNS!

    I've been on a buying spree recently but I think I am done for now. 1) Bought a CMMG Banshee SBR in 45 acp. 2) Bought a suppressor for the Banshee. 3) The gun store I am transferring the Banshee at had a Kimber Lightweight 45 with a threaded barrel that matches the thread of the suppressor I...

    Concealed Weapon Carry....

    I wouldn't open carry ever. I do not want to be the first one shot by a criminal during an armed robbery.

    Market profile charting built in!

    I'm not a fan of market profile; I find volume profile to be more useful.

    starting to day trade crypto question

    Why don't I trade Forex? Because I can trade currency futures on a centralized exchange with narrow bid/ask spreads. What are the advantages of Forex over Futures?
