    Best Place to trade in the world - Quality of Life

    I was a bit suprised myself that nobody mentioned Greece earlier in this thread. And Cyprus as well. Objectively, they're much better than some other places mentioned. With regard to the weather on the islands, it can be windy, but there's nearly 300 days of sunshine per year. No way "cold...

    Journal - My Switch From IB to Velocity Futures

    I've been using IB for almost 2 years. At that time (2002), I think it was the best broker for small- to mid-volume traders (under 10.000 round-turns per month). And think IB is still the best "main broker" option for this type of trader. Since the start, I considered that there is no...

    System Development with acrary

    acrary, I came back to ET after a few months and noticed this thread. I remember several interesting posts of yours at Chuck LeBeau's forum a few years ago. So I have a general idea about your work. But I think it'd be better if you talked a bit about what type of behaviour you're looking...

    POLL: IB TWS vs J-TRADER, Which is more "Reliable"?

    Disconnects should be a RARITY, NOT AN EVERYDAY OCCURANCE!!! Having said that, I agree with all of 50cents comments in this topic, I have both, but only use TWS for the last 18months and kept JT as backup which i never used. One issue is that PATS JTrader is available from many different...

    Today's BONDS!

    I would like to ask US Bond / Notes daytraders what charts, indicators and maybe other markets they follow to get the feel of the market. Volume is unusable at least until CBOT gets their act together (newest info is Jan-2004) with eCBOT (if you ask me, I think they do it on purpose...)...

    Wrong trade size data for CBOT markets

    If you take a look at the attached time&sales of ZN (10yr Note), you'll notice that trade size is reported cumulatively for consecutive trades at the same price. When price changes, size is reset to 0 again. As a result, all studies involving volume are totally incorrect and misleading. I...

    eSignal stipping volume from CBOT a/c/e markets (e.g. YM) since mid-Oct

    Apparently the new eCBOT system (to replace the a/c/e Eurex engine) will be operational for most symbols by 24-Nov-2003 http://www.cbot.com/cbot/ecbot/page/0,2936,305,00.html The new system will transmit individual trades. MT

    eSignal stipping volume from CBOT a/c/e markets (e.g. YM) since mid-Oct

    The easiest way to verify my statement is to just check Time&Sales of any a/c/e traded instrument (e.g. Dow emini YM or bonds/notes). This is going on since 13-Oct-2003. The intraday volume you see in your esignal intraday charts since that time is not trade volume. I use other feeds too...

    eSignal stipping volume from CBOT a/c/e markets (e.g. YM) since mid-Oct

    eSignal has been stripping volume data (ie tradesize=0 on all trade quotes, while it reports size on bid/ask quotes) from all CBOT a/c/e traded instruments (e.g. Dow emini YM, bonds etc) since mid-October. This change invalidates all volume studies, makes tick-volume charts useless etc...
