I never thought to include volatility in the equation. Do you mean something like ATR of bar size in the time frame one trades, or something else? If willing, I"d appreciate hearing how a person might apply that info. Not looking for secrets, just general principals. Thx

traded all day, never had a problem

H20, thx, I've noticed a couple of related threads but didn't know exactly what the meat was, now I do.

please excuse a dumb question, what is Eurex?

OK, anyone willing to comment on this: What's better, using rolling pivots or fixed. For example, should a weekly pivot be base on Mon - Fri, or should you roll it on 5 days. I can think of argument s both ways.

Wow, what an awesome way to put it. The only thing I'd add is to notice what happens when the pivot is broken. Oops, I've said too much.

which quotes? no prob's here

I'm trying out the demo of WL 3.0. I enable live feed for eSignal and open a new chartscript. Upon typing in a symbol, nothing happens except text on the charting area that says no data, and the program locks up. I can only shut it down with Win Task Manager. I've tried a couple of times with...

[EDIT: RLB] Greed and fear can be an enemy, or they can be your best friend; if you know how to use them. If you are unusefully effected by these two emotions, try this: instead of avoiding them or trying to change them, just notice them. Change can be easy and automatic (inspite of what you...

During my week there (I wasn't trading with Swift, I was with another group using a room there) their T1 lines were down over 30% of time. The traders I talked to said that the proprietary software Swift used was junk (when compared to Realtick and the like). The guy in charge of fixxing IT...

I spent a week in their Toronto office. Disaster.

In a word, yes. I came to this conclusion after years of my own complaining, whining, bitching, etc etc caused me to have severe health problems (I mean life threatening). You wouldn't believe the temper I got. How bent out of shape I got. How frustrated I got. And of course, nothing ever...

IB has a RIGHT to do business however they see fit (assuming the proper regulations and legalities are complied with). The customer has the RIGHT to find a different broker. It's real simple. If you don't like how IB does biz, leave and stop whining. The only thing it proves is how...

Exactly. IB is professional in every way. In the last month I've had to call twice for tech help. In both instances the phone was answered in 4 rings and my q's were handled quickly by caring people. I originally hesitated going with IB 3 years ago because of the occaisional trash bandied...

Andy, thank you for your help. I truly wish we could all just bypass all the crap and get to this in the first place. I do sincerely appreciate your attention and your efforts.

update: for those interested after a lengthy discussion with esignal senior support, I found out that volume on a daily chart is NEVER correct. I was told that not only are the numbers for the current day and previous day incorrect, but all other days on the ENTIRE chart are offset by one...

Please educate me, as esignal refuses to. Why do I have to wait for accurate total daily volume on today, when the data is already in my computer? (I am speaking only of electronically traded contracts here). It's like they're trying to hide the way they do something, or maybe just lazy...

I just got off the telephone, again, on my own dime. Instead of an empathetic voice, I got an argument on how my "impression" of esignal support is wrong. That's right, I was told flat out that my feelings are wrong. I wasn't aware that esignal staff were pyschic. I asked several specific...

Thx, and yes I realize that. My problem is I shouldn't have to do that, and worse; esignal should have told us about this flaw. I have found bug after bug in their software and instead of fixing it, they introduce new bells and whistles. In addition, the support staff just pretends there...

I did a quick search and did not find anything on this. Maybe I'm blind, because this is IMHO a major flaw in esignal. At least on the emini's (that's pretty much all I trade) the current days volume on a daily chart is totally wrong. I'm ashamed to admit I never noticed this before. I...
