    Anyone use Tradovate?

    Amp offers something similar. Think theirs is 1000$ a year for commission free. Not a futures guy but I do believe those rates are just for the brokers commissions, theirs still clearing/exchange fees that are not free.

    How to backtest if you do not know how to code

    I'm a little confused as to why your looking for? You say your manually backtesting already so what's the issue? A programmed backtester simply takes an input logic and iterates the data looking for a buy or sell signal and that is it. Gets more complicated in the portfolio side. So if you...

    training software?

    Your going to find trading much harder then just identifying patterns. You need to know how to actually trade the setup, which I've yet to see really in any book. You need a trade plan. What is the expectancy of the pattern providing a winning entry? What size of move do you expect from the...

    IEX is now the exchange

    From my understanding they'll now be reflected in the NBBO, meaning if they have the best price, the order will have to be routed to them. https://chatwithtraders.com/ep-075-dan-aisen-iex-trading/ Good listen. This was before they got exchange status but seems they were the only exchange ever...

    Turning $15K credit card debt into financial freedom

    So your just going to start trading and hope for the best? Have a trade plan? Have an edge? I wouldn't be inspired to journal from that thread. I told him he was oversized in his trades when he had a huge day and basically it was just a lucky day. Asked about his size and stops and he said...

    The mod deletes postings without informing the poster

    I think the issue is the possibility of pump and dump schemes. I wouldn't personally advertise penny stocks. I can't remember the article but a trader was discussing his run in with the SEC. He ran a blog and traded a lot of micro caps. Whether it was pump and dump or naive he did get charged...

    Forex VS Suretrader

    I don't trade forex but that no commission crap is a great lure for new traders. They offer a not so nice spread in which they take the the other side of your trade. They take their commission for sure, just not up front.Those spreads at the leverage their offering can easily become way more...

    Bid or Ask

    M.ST I meant historical. For instance IQFeed is able to send bid/ask price and size at the time of each tick with a historical request. Currently Amibroker is able to retrieve the current values. I read in the request section where Tomasz mentioned working on it in the future since Amibroker...

    SureTrader - Providing sensitive information

    I trade with TD direct investing and their is no PDT rule. I don't day trade so would never run into the issue but I have called them before and asked just in case I wanted to liquify multiple positions I put on immediately due to some major news or something like that. Another rule they have...

    Alternatives to Nanex

    I don't know all the details but Eric Hundsader is the founder of Nanex. From what I've heard him say he calls DTN a partner. Nanex manages the data and the compression of it while using DTN's infrastructure to get it to the customers. They also handle the billing so it is a bit confusing. But...

    Bid or Ask

    Well for every buyer theirs a seller, a trade needs both. The only way to measure the pressure on the bid/ask is having tick data and bid/ask quotes at the time of the tick. IQFeed (what I use for data) provides historical tick data and the bid/ask quote at the time of that trade. For...

    My one month trading experience.

    Questions you need to ask since you said you backtested are how are the current results compared to past results. I wouldn't consider 10min time frame large. Whats your trade sample size from backtest over what period. If it's trading to infrequently compared to its average return it's going...

    Interactive Brokers + Multichart + IQ feed?

    Just to add I re-read your post about Interactive brokers not having charts/feeds. Never used them but I'm pretty sure they do.... They do charge a fee for data but its minimal compared to IQFeed. Can review what people say about the feed. I've seen mixed reviews about quality but guess it all...
