    DDE Question

    I am trying to figure out my options for a DDE feed. I need a feed that separates regional quotes from NYSE quotes on the bid/ask. The software I know of that do this are: Redi+ AT Financial eSignal (can someone confirm this?) I know the following feeds don't work: Qfeed IQFeed...

    eSignal DDE

    Could someone please tell me if the eSignal DDE uses NYSE data only for NYSE stock bid/ask, or does it include ECN data? If it does include the ECN's is there a function to not include them? Thanks

    Nikkei/SP500/Nasdaq

    I disagree that it's nonsense, but you are entitled to your opinion. I could really care less where the market goes from here...I just find the charts interesting.l

    Can using a "tick indicator" improve my results slightly?

    I don't trade emini's...just watch them as an indicator for my exits. I trade listed only.

    Can using a "tick indicator" improve my results slightly?

    I also have a mechanical system to enter trades, then use very basic TA on a 3 min S&P 500 chart to exit. I watch the T&S of emini's, but use the cash index for charting because I find it to be smoother. I use Directional Movement (14,14) without ADX and StochRSI (14,14,2,1). The simple way...

    Nikkei/SP500/Nasdaq

    The market was already following that S&P pattern in the days ahead of Sept 11th. IMO the charts would still look very similar had the event not happened. Here's the updated chart with the Nikkei ending yesterday...

    Nikkei/SP500/Nasdaq

    Every 6 months or so I have updated this comparison chart of the three indexes. The chart shows the indexes as a % lost from the top of each bubble. The similarities are still striking... According to Nikkei we are actually in for a decent rally in the next 6 months...only to be followed by...

    Program Traders versus NYSE Specialists

    The way I see it you can learn how to play the game, or side on the sidelines complaining. Sure, multiple times a day I pound my desk and scream at certain specialists...but it's a heck of a lot better than playing that garbled mess of quotes called Nasdaq.

    Free DDE Server

    I've used DDE's from Redi+, AT Financial, and Qcharts. In terms of speed and reliability of data (when compared side-by-side) they go in the above order with Redi+ being the best. One thing I don't like about Qcharts DDE is that the bid/ask/last data for listed stocks include ECN data, with no...

    What Was the Bullmarket Like?

    I think most of us realized that, but volatility is more important than direction for many of us...and that has been lacking for some time. That's not to say there isn't a living to be made here, I just miss the $10k days.

    What Was the Bullmarket Like?

    I loved trading those IPO's on opening day. Usually around 12pm est you could watch the mm's jockying for position right before the open. They may start around 80, and within 5 minutes they are all up biding around 130-150 (RHAT/JNPR for example). All that really mattered was where the...

    What Was the Bullmarket Like?

    This gets my vote for most incredible run. I remember it went from 2 to 11 the first day. Right around the market open the next day it was already trading up to the 70's. Those CEO's in China were kings for a day. There was another Asian IPO (I forget the symbol) that opened around 100 and...

    Are there such a thing as TOO MANY monitors?

    I shared this office with someone a few years ago...it was too much. Now I have 3 which is still more than enough. http://www.iwinfree.com/tradingdesk.jpg

    How many daytraders are still out there?

    Obviously the bubble was much better for daytrading, but your statement is much too broad. Daytrading is about small consistent wins. Trading has to pay the bills. There is plenty of opportunity still, you just have to know where to look. It seems you gave that up a long time ago.
