One of the more careless postings on ET. If you don't know, how to pull up futures charts (and therefore determine by yourself how much volume is there at which time and if the instrument chosen suits you) it will lead undoubtedly to loss when trying to trade futures (which is, what the OP...

This is advice to preserve your surely hard earned capital: If you can't find the information requested easily by yourself refrain from trading futures.

Looks like a potentially nice up day. Long 6267. SL 6259. 1. target 6292

Seems someone is loading up in order to take a deep plunge. Short @6126, SL 6133, 1. target 6089.

Guys, you serious? Never realized that there are IB-compatible booktrader replacements that offer better functionality?

Plain binary files. Can't beat them. With todays fast computers any superimposed database layer will create unnecessary overhead (speed and code). Datafields: Byte key (trade, dom bid/ask event, volume, others) Single price Long volume Long timestamp (millisec from 00:00 same day)...

The concept behind "noise" is that some data is better discarded and only distracts from the "real picture". In my view this concept is not helpful. The opposite makes more sense: The more data available the better the picture.

Same situation as yesterday. This is again a fakeout to the upside. Though this may last even longer (go higher) than yesterday. Will go lower after it.

Next leg down ahead. Probably then going below 1.21 Before this there might be again a fakeout to the upside.

Why would a big intelligent company keep up a useless department? My guess: The retail part is like a big continuous poll: What is the market sentiment? Where did I hear something similar recently? Oh, yes, I think I remember now: GS.

Expect a rather strong shakeout to the upside (something like 1.26) before EUR may switch back to the free fall mode (below 1.22).

Once I had an outage of Eurex quotes that lasted 14 days (paying 15€/mo). They answered that they are not a datafeed provider and therefore they do not guarantee feed integrity.

If you have good programming skills - don't start to walk on the Excel path. You will end up with unreadable and slow code. Go for one of the true programming languages that are supported with IB. (IB is probably the cheapest way to get into programming. As it was stated already you can...

Reason for bounce is the reason for most of the moves anyway: Big guys are living on watching where the small guys have their positions and causing them pain (hit their stop losses). Only when the small guys are shaken out of their shorts sufficiently we can move on where we want to go...

If yesterdays moves did hurt expect worse things for the next days (=more up-moves). EUR may even come up to 1.3350 level in order to shake people out. Longer range the downward has not yet come to a halt.

Unfortunately there are many people out there that "think" the same way. Therefore, that will not happen (yet). Long for the next hours. Expect pain for the people that are short.

+1 No way Germany pulls out of Euro. This would be suicide. (btw I am living in Germany). Something that many people do not seem to notice: Falling Euro is pretty good for the german economy since it is clearly export oriented. It's exactly the game that US and China played for quite...

Nope, not "a little help" - you are simply looking for the holy grail. If there was a clear answer to "are we in a trend" you would just follow the direction until signal "end of trend" arrives. Meaning the power to print money in unlimited amounts. That won't be possible. In my view...

Short 6322. 1. target 6280. 2. target around 6263. SL 6330.

Short. GS + volcano + no relevant short inventory -> way down is free. (btw this kind of chart gives hardly any relevant informations - they are simply not appearing in it)
