Here's how you put a second monitor on a PC that just has one. http://www.cnet.com.au/double-vision-add-a-second-monitor-to-your-system-240053704.htm?omnRef=NULL Don't know if adding a third, and fourth, are just extensions of the same principles? Someone else will have to clarify ...

I'm sure many of the software packages will allow you to do this. NinjaTrader, for example... Go to http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/helpguide.html?WelcomeToNinjaTrader and then search for "Multi-Time Frame & Instruments" Not Linux or Mac, but C#.

Thanks, Lescor and Rehoboth My broker uses Penson. Why are Penson a hassle?

Thanks for clarifying. I did not realise this. I guess I should have titled this thread " ... are all clearing firms the same?" Are all clearing firms/self clearing firms equally good/bad at this (because say it just depends 100% on market-wide supply/demand factors)? Or are there...

Who are you refering to? To me, or to thstart? About who are you recommending caution?

You display an extraordinary unwillingness to back down, which - I can assure you - does little to help you put yourself forward in the best light. I think you will get more from ET if you participate more, and preach less.

As an observer, I can see clearly that it's not jprad who is refusing to be open minded. I think you should re-read your own words carefully.

Assume I want to short an actively traded stock. As a retail trader, what can I do to increase my chances of being able to locate that stock for a short? Are all brokers equally good/bad at this (because say it just depends 100% on market-wide supply/demand factors)? Or are there...

Apologies! I hadn't picked up on this. I will investigate this further in the way you suggest. And to answer your question ... Until starting this thread (and another on a related topic), I used my broker (MBT) for real-time data, and eSignal for historical data (including backtests). I...

This is not correct, IMO. A perfectly valid trading style is to seek to anticipate the actions of other traders (i.e. a form of "order anticipator"). If a significant number of other traders use bars and OHLC on an intraday basis, then an order anticipator validly can reference their...

I've had enough of this! This is more than I can take! I'll meet you outside afterwards...

This diatribe is somewhat unhinged. Ladies and Gentleman, I think one of Robert Mugabe or Muammar al-Gaddafi or Nick Griffin MEP may well have joined us on ET ...

Dear Newman On behalf of myself - and all the other scum and idiots like me who use ET - could I take this brief opportunity to say how privileged we all feel to spend these few, precious moments online with you each day? Your trading might and experience cast all else in shadow. Your...

Thanks. I trade US stocks, and currently use my broker's data feed (MBT) and eSignal's. - According to eSignal support, the time-stamps in their data are not those from the exchange; instead, they are eSignal's own time-stamps. - I have asked MBT whether their data is time-stamped (which I...

OK, thanks. I can see that.

Thanks, jprad I use NinjaTrader. Here's what NT says about data feeds... As ticks come into NinjaTrader in real-time, they are time stamped based on your local PC time if they do not already have an associated time stamp that is provided from the real-time data source. The majority of our...

Thank you. Yes, I can see that a TICK CHART would get round both the computer clock syncing, and "Internet distance" issues. I have not made use of tick charts, so must look further to see whether OHLC sensitive signals might work better with these. Thank you! VOLUME BASED CHARTS I have...

Please bear with me as I wade through the following (I’m not claiming anything original here; just pulling together elements proposed by other contributors in other threads to see if it all holds together) ... 1) Each of us uses a different trading computer. 2) Each trading computer...

You could well be correct; I don't know. However, to take this line of thought further, the differences in datafeeds lead to bars with different OHLCs. On this basis, any strategy sensitive to the bars' OHLCs would be sensitive to differences in datafeeds, and therefore wouldn't work...

Thanks. yes, I think that's what I'll look into.
