voodoo_invest regardless of delays in the cash indicie or the futures, ( which is also delayed as it is traded in the pit, so therefore there is a delay from the pit to the data distribution), or whether the cash is arbitraged to the big or mini, or whether the mini is arbitraged to the...

voodoo_invest the futures always lead the cash just watch the future and cash in realtime qwiktrade i guess you don't trade futures!

"I haven't looked at this in detail" enough said!

thats the problem - there is no method or system that works - at least on eminis - certainly scalping works on bonds and you can have arbitrage systems on bonds or even equity options but the only way you learn to trade is to do it - choose a simple strategy to get you trading and watching...

success means different things to different people - and a lot of traders reach a certain profit level and dont jump at every trade - so i guess any of the experienced hands in here like that find it a diversion to read some of the strands and then end up replying but i suspect the long term...

if you are a technical trader - why dont you just follow the futures and learn how they move - it does not matter why they move as much as how they move once you get a feel for how they move - you may be close to why for what its worth - the futures on the whole lead the cash, except when...

is this forum the corner of the bar with all the oldies in it lamenting the good old days - get some sun, maybe a woman, or maybe just another drink! and how does someone look at you when they think you have 3 ears?

just 21 i believe that a) and b) are true - but i dont trade cfds myself - although i understand from gni that 4 out 5 of their clients lose - i think the 5th client does not trade! a) with a contract for difference - the price they give you is their own - it does not have to match the...

def multi currency is just for stocks - not futures ?

these are great replies can anyone help with the java point i made - that once some java based applications use java - when you try to use another java application - the new one says it cannot find java - yet the original one quite happily uses it if you delete the first java application...

i know that when some programs use java - they seem to stop other programs being able to access java - i suspect java implementation is still in its infancy

i think i see some woodworm! the great thing about having your own business is that you can decide how to run it yourself - the downside is that everyone knows better - and a worse downside is that they might be right sometimes!

i have seen that sort of repeating time issue with data vendors such as esignal - and when you tell them something repeats at the same time - they get really pissed off - almost as if they feel that if they have not noticed it - they don't want to be told i think the problem with a lot of...

if you are looking to take a point - you will have to have at least in theory - a .5 loss limit - but of course - you will have to let everyone else trading that day know that - so they don't accidently spike up or down a point or two and screw up your stop loss

savage if it just went up or down in a linear line - you would be right - but it has a nasty habit of making little up moves and then little down moves on its way to its destination - and some of those down moves are part of an upmove and some of the up moves are part of a down move - try...

savage trading is all about trading experience and you get that by trying out different methods - and one method leads to another until you find what works for you but just to protect yourself, whenever you take a trade, set a stop loss and every time you dont keep to it - hit yourself...
