TOS DOM is "far superior" to Jigsaw trading's DOM? :rolleyes: I know for a fact you have not even tried Jigsaw's DOM. If you had you would not be making a statement like that. (BTW- I have a TOS account and got started with futures using their tools. I have used their DOM) Just this morning was...

:rolleyes: It is hard to understand why you would post that bullshit in a thread asking about short term trading. Clarify that. It is hard to understand why you can object to my use of the term "thick market" yet can't tell us all what the "proper terminology" is. It's not hard to understand...

:)

I'll type slow for you. It is more difficult to get filled using a limit order in a market with large size (1000+ contracts) at each level in the book. I use the term "Thick" for markets like this as opposed to "thin" markets with 20 to 30 contracts. My comment in post #42 "Yep; thicker markets...

As I stated earlier in this thread I only trade the 6E. To answer your question; no I have not traded the ES at all. Never claimed I have. I used it as an example of a market with large size in the order book. I am having difficulty understanding what you are arguing. You say you have missed...

Thank you for that bit of information. I am unfamiliar with this guy and your confirmation of the suspicions I have is very helpful.

Tangent? The YM is a good example of a thinner market as opposed to the ES which is thicker. You want to contribute instead of just being an asshole? Why don't you simply state what you believe to be the correct term for a contract with 1000+ limit orders at each level in the book as opposed to...

I think it may be "Al cohols" fault. :D

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/thinmarket.asp Since "Thin markets" exist in finance parlance the opposite of "thin" is what? Tell us what we should call a market that has 1000+ contracts at each level of the DOM. I have heard several experienced traders refer to that type of market as...

From my understanding it is more difficult to get filled on a limit order when you may be #498 in the que and price moves away from you. You do not get filled. Are you saying limit orders in the ES are more likely to be filled than those in the YM? In thinner markets (fewer contracts on the...

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jan/16/vegans-stomach-unpalatable-truth-quinoa Apparently these Vegans don't give a $hit about what the latest fad is doing to others that have historically eaten the plant to survive. I am so concerned about this that I have vowed I would never eat...

http://www.city-data.com/city/Yakima-Washington.html Looking at the data Yakima has about double the U.S. average crime. It's racial mix is heavily "hispanic" (close to 50%) which is something to consider if you don't speak the language. Wages are much lower than the rest of Washington state...

Yep; thicker markets make limit orders less likely to get filled.

Why would you Post # 12 - The link I provided mentioned the 60/40 rule plus many other reasons why futures are better for intraday trading. Hopefully the OP took the time to read it; it answered his question completely.

Is this what you are referring to? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Auction Orders An auction order is entered into the electronic trading system during the pre-market opening period for execution at the Calculated Opening...

Wow, that didn't take long. 13 posts on the thread and people are already insulting each other!o_O

I was referring to independent traders.

I only trade the 6E contract. I don't see any advantage in having thousands of different products to watch. My theory is concentrate on one product and learn it like the back of your hand. People may scoff at this idea but after a while you know what is "normal" for your product and what is...

It would be foolish to put 100% of your capital at risk on any one trade.
