    I agree, it is much better today. But unfortunately, I still have a very small delayed prices / quotes on the DOMs vs Tradestation and IB. There is also a trust issue..

    You Volatility Lovers...

    What I do with this volatility: No market orders except for stops, larger stops, smaller sizes and huge potential profits. Liquidity is key and so far so good for small guys. It looks like I "scalp" for a minimum of 20 ES points now (80 ticks). Just amazing. I bought more TLT. I was caught...

    Why is gold tanking?

    Contrary to popular belief, gold is no currency. In a panic situation everything is for sale. Cash and government insured products are kings.

    Trading Signals

    You could do something like that with Tradestation. You can plot on a chart, futures & stocks on the same chart, if you have the right data subscription. MACD or about anything else can be changed, adapted, etc. The Tradestation forum is full of good information and indicators. If you know...

    Daytrading the whole session versus calling it a day after reaching a profit target?

    Here is my typical session: 1. No trading until 09:30 Est, no trading after 4:00 pm Est. 2. Emotions, reason and intuition are part of me and my directional trading. 3. I stop trading as soon as I become emotionally compromised (I am a fan..), as I already was around 9:38 this morning. 4...

    Mentors and education

    Just my opinion: I would suggest to trade less, way less. Focus on what works for you, even if it is 1 trade a week. Get rid of all losing strategies and get rid of 1 min charts. Even if I day trade futures, my best strategy produces an average of 2 to 3 trades per month and it is just...

    Gain Capital or FuturesOnline.com (was OEC) data delays

    Today was the worst of the worst. Huge data delays and now the DOM for ES and other markets were just frozen for minutes. I use IB, Tradestation and since few months I opened an account with Cannon Trading (Gain+E-Futures). Stay away from Cannon, Gain and E-Futures (OEC) !! If you complain...

    How do you legally trade/manage other peoples money?

    I opened an LLC for the family. I am the manager of the LLC and the trader and investor for the LLC. I don't charge anyone inside the LLC, even if I legally could ("guaranteed payment" for managing the LLC, not for managing the "fund"). No need for a licence that way, here in the US. After...

    Any advice for a soon to be full-time trader?

    You probably heard "trade with money you can afford to lose.." Whatever your capital and savings, this is a very bad quote. Investing or trading with that in mind, will give you what you expect and probably more. It seems that if you need a job (like some of us), quitting this job should...
