do you guys find the charting capability of Ninja on par with standalone charting software such as Sierra or Quotetracker?

This advice has been given out before but I keep a trade journal for everyday I trade. Then I mark the biggest winner and biggest loser for that day. In your case, if you trade multiple times, record every single trade you made for the day then archive it. Then every Monday, open up your...

I'm starting to see diverse view on this subject but I do agree with asap. As to what lescor said, I'm not sure if online chatroom will cut it for me, I chat with my buddies who are at work but it's the being in front of the computer by yourself and no real human interaction that gets to me...

Good replies. I'm really more focused on the during-the-day social interactions like idle chit chat or on a stressful day, I can just walk over to someone's office and say, "hey let's go to starbucks and grab a coffee". After hours or weekend aren't much of a problem since I meet up with old...

For the full time retail traders and those that trade at home, how do you deal with the trading alone aspect of it? Sitting at your desk trading away (making money hopefully) but not meeting new people or making new friends as much as you would in a work environment. Most of my closest friends...

Steve, didn't you used to trade at a prop firm? What made you decide to go trading futures? Trading from home is alright except it does get boring and you stop meeting new people compared to having a regular "job" you go to. I miss the social aspect of a job between the hours of 8 to 5...

Let's hope you're joking otherwise, you're lucky to even be up 2% for the year and should probably quit trading.

What do you mean it cost you $97.35? the commissions? I hope you didn't mean the actual "controlled" value. QG has a multiplier of 2500 while NG has a multiplier of 10,000.

You can load balance locally but not to your broker through the internet. The only way to fully load balance between 2 internet connection is if you can justify having your ISP give you a BGP AS, and your own static IP from both ISP. Most businesses do it this way so when one ISP go down...

You can do load balancing if you go with higher end NICs, NIC that can do NIC Teaming. I believe Intel and HP carry these kinds of NICs.

For one thing, I think people should not be able to make multiple reviews on a broker or a book for that matter. One should be able to update a past review but not make a new one. This is what happens when you got a bunch of fanboys and haters ruining it for everyone.

Use the lower latency 60ms (ping) line as your primary. Just don't be downloading porn or movies during trading hours :D

you've been ready since 2004!

If all you're doing is trading, then the ping test (latency) is more important than the bandwidth. It's the amount of time your order will go from your pc to the brokers. Obviously, if your bandwidth is low and you're downloading large files, your latency will shoot through the roof so I'm...

There used to be this software called Ftrade.de playback, for some reason, the author stopped selling it. But, if you might wanna contact the author although I'm not sure if he'll still respond to requests. Give it a shot: http://www.ftrader.de/1f023d96e30ec8d02/index.html

Wow, that blows. I'm not thrilled about that.

Are you glad now you didn't take that gain? :)

I know. I looked to see how the calls are doing and it's all blank. If only ToS has options on futures, I'd be with them .

Thanks JayS. I knew it had to be that.

Was it a rate cut? I don't have real time news. That was nuts. I was about 30 seconds away from shorting the ES :eek:
