there was another thread about an error on a five year bundle yesterday. i asked our eurodollar guys (options) and they said they would see what they could find out but i havent heard anything yet. the thread also mentioned the z05 contact. i will post if i hear any thing good. jim

i am very interested in this style of trading and I have been keeping a close eye on this thread. My question is, if u are using a 28 period average for one of your lines, does this mean u need to wait for 28 bars or periods before the indicators work properly? thx in advance. jim

yea, ironic huh!? ive just started to work on some indicators in sierra and ive got some good help from the sierra web site. they have a forum where u can ask questions ( i have alot) and i have found it very useful. i am so computer illiterate its not even funny. SC magic wiil give you 2...

hello TGM. i do use Sc magic...just of hand i dont remember what the pricing is but it was very reasonable , im thinking like 12 bucks a month. i dont have my IB account opened yet so ive been watching a friend of mines account just to see how it trades. so as far as getting it hooked up to IB...

i dont know what the symbol for ensign is. im using sierra charts. looks like u are trying to pull the march contract up. i was watching the jan (F) contract last night. i think this is now the front month...but im not for sure? if its not the front contract it sure is active. some great moves...

not totally relevant but......i worked in the back month EDs for a while and a trick a local would use. (one that had accumulated a large position) in the last few minutes of trading this person would give a broker an order for 10 or 20 cars and depending would either offer or bid the sh*t out...

im glad to see this thread is going again. tradersavy im very interested in your thoughts and experiences with this beast. ive got some intraday data back a couple of years and im starting to do some research and backtesting on it. TGM...sierra charts has been good for me as far as charts go. im...

i like hearing everyones thoughts on this. i have been watching mkt depth and i have trouble finding it useful, although i would love to. i have TT on my desk and a GL front end (globex) setup also for (for backup). the GL front end will tell u how many orders make up a bid or offer. so right...

thx...i assumed the front month was march now. this is great news actually. i was looking at the bid ask and saying.."i cant trade this...look how wide that bid ask is". awesome! thx for the quick response!. jim

my buddy stopped by last night and we pulled up his IB account after a few cocktails to watch the Hang Seng trade a little. we could see the bid ask moving but the "last price" column seemed to be froze up. even on the booktrader. the last price changed 3 times during the whole session. it would...

from the way that short worked out for u this morning it sounds like you might be buying? haha i have a flight to catch on friday evening but since i HATE to fly sober i would be up for one or two. my mom always warned me about people u meet on the internet but im willing to take a chance...

great advice...ill start w/a one lot to test the waters. the way u work your limits makes sense and gives me some great insight to how this thing trades. i wont be trading a ten lot anytime soon! im gonna do some work on the BB machine tonight and see if i can get some more data on it. yea that...

wow..getting some real meat and potato stuff from u guys . this is great! i like to use chart histories..ill check out our BB machine after work today. interesting u use button trader..i havent traded with IB in over a year and was curious about some of these APIs from them. i will have to set...

mean-reverting for sure comes to mind. i have only collected 15 days of intra day data so my view is limited. i have always liked breakout type strategies but the HS seems to be its own animal. i have focused my limited resources on the first session of the trading day due to the fact that i...

great info from both of you. mokwit..i agree with you as far as placing your stop a little farther away. great info for someone thinking about trading it. any other info would be greatly appreciated. jim

nice to hear your thoughts/experience. i was watching last night (15 min delay w/future source) and i saw it move aprox 25 ticks with only 3 prints in between. that is a little discouraging just for the fact that any resting stop could see some serious slippage. i have been looking for any news...

yes.....i think this is the gap between sessions. i have been watching it at night (in chicago) and im amazed at the way it moves. i am also interested in any news events that might affect this market. Also if someone could give me a snapshot or two of the market depth for the hang seng. this...

i think that those are HK dollar margins. To get the US dollar u need to divide by 7.75. The HK dollar is pegged to the US so I dont think it fluctuates much. I think its the same on the commission...around 8.00 RT for IB I think (US dollar). Hope this helps. jim

Ive been watching the HSI at night also. I work for a MM firm and Im not allowed to trade my account during US hours. The HSI hours are great for someone in Chicago.. 7:45 to 10:30 for the first session and it does really move. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the TOPIX. I read...
