I am already using TransAct as my broker, and I believe that they have the same data feed as Trade Navigator since they are both products of Cannon Trading. I would like to have a different data provider for my charts for redundancy purposes. Thank you for the recommendation though, Compulsive.

I have been looking through the software reviews section of this site, but I want to find a data vendor/charting platform in terms of best price and reliability. It seemed the best way to do so would be to ask on the forum. I am looking for a charting platform that supports the CBOT and CME...

The US economy is bleeding right now. These interest rate cuts are like using band-aids for a wound that requires stitches.

Anyone know of other sites which provide similar services to Collective2? http://www.collective2.com

I am no where near the best trader on these forums but I do follow the 1% risk per trade rule. The reason? No matter how good you are, you can run into a losing streak. Risking 10% per trade means that such a losing streak could mean financial ruin or at the least one hell of a bad experience. I...

If you are doing well with equities, I would say stick with that. If you are set on moving into futures, practice thoroughly before going live with that money.

This "random-market" approach is pretty much the basis for a "coin-flip system" where a coin is flipped and one goes long or short depending on which side it lands on with a profit target greater than the stop loss. It may seem mathematically sound but it is not. For instance, say that your...

I never code systems directly into NinjaTrader since I have run into some bugs on their charting end. I have noticed that data is sometimes missing from their charts resulting in miscalculations. If it was not for that, I would have built the system entirely in NinjaTrader. I am really hoping...

I have tried this approach and have found it to be far to vulnerable to emotions. Often times I would ride out a loss to my stop loss and take early profits on the winning trades. In the long run, I would imagine this to be a hindrance to overall performance. As I see it, my system contains my...

I have been using eSignal since I first started daytrading. I have no particular reason to keep it other then me being used to the platform. As for selecting a data provider, one should look at reliability, speed and amount of data. In reference to reliability, certain data vendors are...

I am working on what I believe to be a fairly effective solution for handling partial fills but the bad ticks thing is a different story. How could your system spot a bad tick unless your data vendor itself points it out?

I have always been developing systems that generate the entry and exit points without human intervention but never have I allowed the execution process to be automated. Now that the new semester is coming around and given the success of my new system (thusfar), I have decided to go automated...

And one more thing - i'd stay the hell away from the er2 and stick to the es. ER2 tends to swing $30 while ES just stays at the same price. Psychologically speaking, I find the ES to be much easier to trade.

Sounds like you should not be trading a live account. You said that your results look good in the back-testing phase then when you go live, it does not go as planned. This probably means that you are not testing your system properly, over optimizing or not testing for long enough in real-time...

I just took the week off since I would rather wait for something that I feel more confident trading. Knowing when to stand on the sidelines is just as important as knowing when to jump onto the field. Now that I have gotten a glimpse of the insanity of this volatility, perhaps I will jump onto...

As I see it, there are two options in this scenario under which one could trade: A) Sim trade until you can trade with a greater risk % and have a high win rate to rely upon. If you have to risk more, you should have a more reliable system than most to trade. If you already have that, then...

Thx :). The mx mouse, s&s steel mousepad and the logitech sound system are remnants from my online gaming days.
