trading won't take care of a #2 or #3 becoming #1. you need to be investment banker then ! Unless you go Amsterdam.. then it's a different story.. ahhh.. Holland..

it's possible to code volume at price in esignal.. market profile optional study is not very useful. the free volume at price from esignal is not useful either, because it's not configurable. tntneo They, don't say too much about this method ! it works too well. :)

it's called the stock market. think nasdaq bubble, enron and others...

Elliott Wave is often misunderstood for a trading tool. few can trade with it. I know some who can. On the other hand it is a very good map of how market works. If you pay attention http://www.elwave.com/principle/index.html

don't you love comedy channel ? I mean CNBC...

this is great. I see 2 great business models for you : - software development can be profitable, but be careful : hotlines cost money. also traders are volatile (!), they will switch to another software if you don't keep up with improvements. think monthly lease instead of one time fee...

I agree with Dustin. However, I also noticed the book data is not visible anymore before the open. it used to. And that's not fair. by the way, just like any tool, some will find use, some won't. it's just a fact of life. get over it.

excellent point. this is why imo : - fake break out will 'retrace', since it was a fake! - most real break outs do retrace too. the stronger the break, the less retracement. but it's very rare that it just takes off. gaps might be an obvious exception (and they often retrace of course. but...

IB and realtime charting packages bandwidth is very small. usually less than a 1KB per second. you don't need a lot of internet capacity for trading. the kind of problems you might run into is connection stability. that's something else. I remember on the road to, I often chose to switch...

are you really a novice or not ? if you are I think a novice should not trade these instruments unless they have plenty of cash (to allow time to learn). I think the correlation between NQ and ES is pretty strong and there is no real margin advantage (point value is proportional to each...

yes I agree. it does not feel 'right' to code a system twice in 2 languages with all the risks involved. it's so easy to screw up, so multiplying the code base is really troublesome. that's the edge Tradestation has at the moment. eSignal is betting that traders will prefer having the...

yep ! I do remember vividly this rate cut... it scared the crap out of me! That's the kind of thing I always try to keep in mind while trading or helping with some software. Disasters do happen and they can kill you. It takes just a few seconds. you can't prevent it. you can't predict it...

sources again do suggest this hacker story is a hoax. for known, past, exchange wide outage (NYSE and NASDAQ), one was attributed to a human error (running a diagnostic software at the very very wrong time - MCI for Nasdaq) and software glitches when upgrading to another version (NYSE). So...

From the IRS web site "The proper classification is important to determine how income and expenses are to be reported. Investors trade solely for their own account and do not carry on a trade or business. Their securities sales result in capital gain or loss and their deductible expenses are...

to be a dealer, you must be licensed, have a seat or work for a firm with a seat. afaik a retail trader, can't claim to be dealer.

LOL ! yes she does. get rid of maria.

there are reports which suggest the hacker story is not true. I don't know what is real or not. I should mention that it takes usually some time to trace a hacker. And to do this, the hack should be pretty skilled. So being caught so easily is suspicious. please can anyone confirm or not...

precisely, it's not about the rate cut itself if you trade (whatever timeframe). it's about how the market reacts to it. don't predict, just look. it is a catalyst. and the way things evolve after this point is important (well for swings and mid-long term of course). but again, second...
