    Plotting a tick chart from yahoo/google finance.

    What are you wanting to trade? Just looking at the data delay on Yahoo finance (up to 30 minutes) I don't know how useful a tick chart would be. http://finance.yahoo.com/exchanges What is the allure of trading a third world exchange? There are so many excellent products to trade through the CME...

    Plotting a tick chart from yahoo/google finance.

    :rolleyes: You want to use Yahoo finance for trading data? Do yourself a favor and buy a mutual fund. If your broker doesn't provide the tools you think are needed FIND ANOTHER BROKER. Why the hell would you put ANY EFFORT in trying to work around a broker's limitations? If you are trading...

    Jokes 2

    I saw some asshole do that to an old man walking on the sidewalk in my little town. Total low life scum bag; I wouldn't piss on the idiot if he were on fire. Imagine what must be going on in that little pea brain when he sees an 80+ year old man limping along the sidewalk and decides it would be...

    Price prediction software?

    "M1 chart, bollinger band 14sma 2.2dev is all "I" need, and 10 years experience" Whatever works for the individual HOWEVER one thing I have found is there is NO "right" way to trade. In my opinion you have to find a method that works for you and not what works for someone else.

    Price prediction software?

    Just trying to help the guy avoid wasting his time and money. He needs to learn how to trade on his own. What happens when the "system" stops working?

    Price prediction software?

    No. If there were a reliable system that predicted price with any degree of accuracy why would anyone sell it to YOU? Why wouldn't the creator just scale up and trade it? Why would he be willing to share it with the world for 199.00 ? I am going to save you some time. STOP LOOKING FOR "The holy...

    trading help.

    My advice for what its worth is to concentrate on ONE PRODUCT ONLY. Play around all you want with various contracts as an exercise in self discovery but you need to pick one product and learn it. You will never have a chance if one day you try to trade the ES and the next you try CL unless you...

    trading help.

    I would call what I am doing sort of "scalping". Looking for 10 ticks on short term price swings. As I mentioned if the trade looks to be favorable I will go for more with a runner. Imbalance is more of a "heads up" and not a trade trigger. It just means 300% (or whatever setting you want) more...

    trading help.

    Hi Bill, I'm using Jigsaw myself; I agree that it is an extremely useful tool. It took a considerable amount of time to "get it" and one day it just "clicked". :) "Not easy though" is a good way to say it. I am also using Rancho Dinero's footprint chart which I have found to be a good...

    Ninja is free but the live data will cost you. Probably the cheapest way to get data is through ninja trader brokerage and paying the 25 dollar per month inactivity fee. I do not know of any free live data providers.There is a free replay data source for ninja http://marketreplaydata.com/ I'm...

    buying behind

    If you buy and others follow with further buy orders the price should go up providing there is little to no sell pressure or an iceberg order on the offer. You will not suffer losses because someone buys after you buy.

    House advantage in day trading Equities vs Futures

    Your statement "Current movement for today = 0.50" is flawed. There are four ticks in one ES point. If you just look at today's move from high of day to low of day (so far on 11/05/15 @ 1:49pm est) it is 19 points or 76 ticks.

    School Daze

    You how much FURTHER we fall behind? I disagree. Have you ever taken a class from the Khan academy? It seems to me that a student that has the ability to pause, rewind and repeat any lesson they don't "get" is far better off than a student sitting in class. Continuing to throw money at a...

    School Daze

    Close and sell off all the schools. Terminate all the school employees. Buy one laptop per student every five years. Set them up with a Khan Academy account. Let them learn online at home. Maintain one county school building for monthly testing activity. If you want to participate in sports or...

    Marijuana legalization just failed in Ohio

    I don't know why anyone would buy the stuff if they could just grow it at home. If I recall correctly the law would have allowed 4 flowering plants. A mediocre grower would yeild a minimum 4 ounces of bud per plant in a typical 9 week flowering period. If they got good at it 6 ounces or better...

    Trading for a family member? Am I legally allowed to trade their accounts?

    Have you thought about top step trader? It is a futures prop shop. Personally I would hesitate to go into business with a family member. (that's just me though)
