    Futures Broker - One price unlimited fills

    So, "ALL-IN", how does IB compare ? Is IB cutting individual "deals" for high frequency / high volume traders ?

    Futures Broker - One price unlimited fills

    With Global at $1/RT, that's equivalent to 1000 RT's per month. That's 50 RT's per day. You trade more than that ?

    Daily ATR calculation in TradeStation

    That's not a CHART, that's a JOKE ! Hopefully, ONE OF THESE DAYS, when open outcry is eliminated, these secondary electronic markets will start to show some "life" (i.e. liquidity). Recent Story: a Hong Kong trader was trading the emini gold futures via my broker and started to complain about...

    Daily ATR calculation in TradeStation

    I'm running even with a "sampled" datafeed and I'm looking at the e-mini Russell 2000, arguably, the fastest moving emini future. Today, we had some incredibly fast moves (all up). Even at the 12:05 pm and 12:30 pm moves, I see no gaps at all. I'm running my platform on Windows 2000 with the...

    I don't believe the above...."show me". (Hint: your realtime datafeed may be deficient !)

    Dax/Russell trading and indicators

    Well..... not the Holy Grail, but a sort of guidance...I would say However, the same indicators don't work with the ES for example Exactly....and have you determined WHY they don't work for the ES ? If not, this system may eventually prove to be costly.

    Daily ATR calculation in TradeStation

    Uh, think about what you said..."5 minute data". In liquid stocks and futures, THERE ARE NO GAPS in the intraday quotes. The open of the next bar is never more than 1 or 2 ticks from the close of the prior bar. THINK ABOUT IT. For intraday data, ATR = Average Range

    Simple Setup for Intraday Trading?

    So true, especially in the emini futures markets....volume crescendos are often the END of a move, instead of the beginning. So by the time you detect the volume, and then act on it, It's "OVAH"....the move "looks" legit (and scary to those on the wrong end of it !), but it ends-up just being a...

    Why people buy breakouts

    Of course. They're easy to "spot", and all you need is a stop order just outside of the current trading zone. What's cool about this, especially in the emini futures market, is that if you are astute, you can tell if a breakout has "legs" or not. Many breakouts on high, high volume and multiple...

    Simple Setup for Intraday Trading?

    Oh WOW, is this ever so true. Here's a story: I was trading prop 2-3 years ago and a kid showed-up who had good trading knowledge and some experience. He plunked down his $5000 deposit and lost the entire nut after about 3-4 months. Why ? He had no INTRADAY experience. He held losers way, way...

    Why people buy breakouts

    When backtested, Break-outs are a high probability win strategy....if they are coupled with some reasonable exits as breakouts tend to retrace much of their initial gains. Bottom-fishing or Top-hunting are completely DIFFERENT strategies with low winning percentage rates, but high average win...

    Another great feedback mechanism is the Green Tax forum. He answers practically any question. Here is an example of one I posted recently. http://www.greencompany.com/gttforum/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Entities&Number=625&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 Just sign-up and post away. Robert...

    Housing starts plunge 14.3% to 10-year low

    THIS IS SCARY. Just went onto the cool, new real estate site http://www.zillow.com only to see that our house has lost $38k in value over the past 30 days. I was shocked...couldn't believe it. then I saw our new neighbor's house purchased 18 months ago has lost $68k in value since they...

    What is the Highest leveraged futures or comm contract?

    Yes, my thoughts exactly....the zigzag movements and measurements are a much better proxy of tradeability and potential profit. Of course, for it to work right, setting the parameters-up properly is paramount....and this requires some insight, common sense, and skill. The analysis of the...
