    Futures Charts Using IB's Data?

    Try this: http://www.eltee.de/ Select "elteecharts" on the left, there is a demo-version available. I have absolutely no experience with that software. regards Bernd Kuerbs

    Latest Internet Con

    Believe it or not this is said to be a 3,5 billion $ market (for the last 10 years). It is not new, before the widespread use of the internet (and e-mail) they contacted their victims via handwritten letters (I was honored by receiving one of them, I'm still receiving lots of e-mails). They...

    esignal is NOT real time

    What problem? There are some real things to worry about: a surprise interest hike by the FED (like the first lowering of rates in 2001), an institutional idiot cleaning up the order book by confusing size with limit when he enters his order (11/20/2001), an airplane crashing into a scyscraper in...

    esignal is NOT real time

    You have been watching an instrument traded at the Eurex. The Eurex provides two data feeds: one for its members and one for data providers, like eSignal, CQG etc. The data feed for members has top priority and will be served first. IB is a member of Eurex and distributes via TWS the data it...

    Exponential Moving Average

    First I want to say that NihabaAshi's post is very correct. A moving average of length n of say a time series (like prices of a stock etc.) is computed as xbar = (Sum of n consecutive elements)/n. That means you take only into account n elements, no more, no less. The elements are all equally...

    Eurex Liffe Futures scalping: eSignal or RT3-Europe compare

    @allesim This is a snapshot of the FGBL a 10-min Chart with tickvolume and actual volume. CQG does provide actual volume. You have to consider two things, actual volume has been added to CQG after tickvolume. Sometimes you feel this, when the software shows errors. Bad ticks seem always to...

    Dax roll

    This is a link to the Eurex Calendar: http://www.eurexchange.com/index2.html?mp&1&9&marketplace/products_tradingcalendar_2002_1_en.html As I do not trade the FDAX, I cannot tell you when traders will roll their position. Judging from the Bund I'd say they'll start around noon the day...

    MAKE MILLIONS with "Only" 2k for us... yeah right!!!

    There is -at least- another book on this subject: "Value-based power trading"by Donald L.Jones, Probus Publishing Company. I found it to be more tractable than the former one, though this is certainly a matter of personal taste. Jones presents a complete method to use the Market Profile in...

    Historic DJI opening

    If you know it, nothing. I did not know it (in the beginning) and mistook the theoretical high/low for the real high/low. regards Bernd Kuerbs

    Historic DJI opening

    The data provided for the DJI30 can be confusing: I'm using Pinnacle Data for EOD data and they provide four different data series for the DJI30, - the close - after the first hour - at start of the last hour - a high/low/close series (but no open). The high/low provided in the last...

    EXCEL FOR BACKTESTING

    Here are some links: http://www.medianline.com/excel_utilities.html http://www.analyzerxl.com I remember a mailing-list where complete testing system had been delevoped in Excel. Unfortunately I do no longer have the address. If you use some search engine I'm sure you will find a lot of...

    Beating Buy and Hold

    @Optrader I thought I got my information from the pages of www.dowjones.com. I tried to look them up again, but they have redesigned their pages since I last visited them. I can only find the composition of the original 12-stock Dow. Downloading the historical composition of the index in 1928...

    Beating Buy and Hold

    Yes, they probably do. And any investor should watch his/her portfolio at least weekly, monthly etc. But when do you decide to dump a stock? Only when it shows clear signs of weakness, when there are unexpected bad news or the like. But then you have already given up a bit of performance...

    Beating Buy and Hold

    I recommend to be very very mistrustful towards these tests, they probably contain an error that is called "Survivorship bias" in statistics. What it means? People test a universe of stocks that exists (still exists) at the time they perform their test, they forget to include all those...

    ECN revolution

    There are some disadvantages, at least if there are some rules missing. Look here: http://www.appliederivatives.com/content/content.cfm?ID=A26C9654-E3BB-4D25-A5B42779563A2731&SectionID=01319605-8C64-44E1-826918E757EF508A&IssueID=14BFB595-B20E-11D5-B9C600D0B73E4707 EUREX is in the process...

    emini daytrading trainer wanted

    No, it is not random. What you essentially have done is to show that a horse has four legs, do you want to claim now that anything with four legs is a horse? In another way, you have looked at the results of one stochastic process, the one you used to produce your charts. To proof that...

    Why do patterns fail?-makes no sense

    You have to be careful about that, just look at the picture: Since yesterday there was forming a triangle, might be a continuation pattern (descending triangle in an uptrend) or a top-formation. Volume has been comparatively low today, so the market went for the stops of the longs just below...

    Why do patterns fail?-makes no sense

    Thats is exactly the reason why patterns fail: when a lot of people jump in, who is left to buy? When there is no more buyer, the stock/index etc. will fall. Techniques and markets are always changing, when a technique, such as patterns, becomes widely known and widely watched, it will start...
