    Trader bets more than $2 million on a surge in energy stocks

    If traders use this information to initiate positions or maintain positions it's just confirmation bias. CNBC is a marketing firm for advertising and while they have good guests, overall, they just state the status quo.

    Is AMP futures a good option for UK trader?

    You should choose an asset based on your ability to trade it, not it's latency. Even as a scalper you have the ability to trade liquid US-based contracts from the UK.

    Is AMP futures a good option for UK trader?

But issues you mentioned could be a result of the internet, your computer, speed of execution, etc are also a result of your infrastructure. As far as CQG/MT5, they will be sent to the...

    Is AMP futures a good option for UK trader?

    But you are comparing a CFD market with a Futures Market. The spread is higher, and all the ASIC based firms now are moving their euro-based customers to offshore. They will no longer be in Australia.

    API throttling w/ IB

    As you mentioned, Rithmic may have some sort of throttling algorithm for historical market data but it is likely to be reasonable. I can see that they might need some sort of throttling otherwise someone could ask for all ticks for 10 years and affect the performance experienced by all other users.

    Crude & Gold

    There were some interesting characters, that's for sure! I started my career just before the CME Globex launched the eminis. So I saw is how the pits disappear and the "silence of the servers" taking over.

    Crude & Gold

    As my colleagues here mentioned, there are no pit hours. Hard to tell for the Crude and Gold because there are sessions that they have lots of volatility at night time and some times during the day. I would say as a VERY general statement that you can trade the gold during it's most liquid...

    Anyone still using Stratasearch for backtesting/strategy development?

    I would recommend using Multicharts if you are looking to automate your trade entries. It was one of the most stable platforms that we ran automation on. They have a lifetime license, and periodically run specials. so we can always ask for a discount if necessary.

    Keeping your IP at a prop firm?

    That is specific to the firm. While you are considering only the legal part, consider the politics that are involved in trading OPM. Their risk management terms, supervision, and clauses could stall your progress as a trader. Many times it's just better to trade at the comfort of your home...

    Deutsche Bank will exit global equities business and slash 18,000 jobs in sweeping overhaul

    Deutsche does not compete in the retail space. IBKR is reasonably priced, but brokers can offer lower cost and day trading margins.

    Why are businesses betting so big on billboards?

    Eventually, Billboards will become electronic and smart, where they can see the data through our cell phones or car navigation devices and serve ads accordingly. Google is not investing in "Billboards", they are buying real estate of Billboards.

    TradeStation

    The OP discussed iPad, and QST has a native iPad app. TT is indeed a very nice interface and design, but we were not able to connect to the latest iPad version. We were told that it's for Phone and Web-based for now. TT did work on older versions of iPad as far as we know and I hope they will...
