    Esignal with multi monitors

    You can simply open multiple instances of the application, and run a different layout in each. It works well, I have done it in the past. It will consume some memory though. eSingal is a good software and has good datafeed (imho so far). Good trading 50

    Why does NEM @ 1C has 22c spread?

    Market Makers are supposed to justify their name and make a market - i.e. provide liquidity with a reasonable spread. Most SSFs have about 6-10c spread. 22c spread is pure theft in all standards. If they'll start to offer reasonable spreads maybe volume will pick up. With these spreads I can't...

    Why does NEM @ 1C has 22c spread?

    Anyone care to explain why there's a 22c spread on the NEM (gold) SSF at OneChicago this morning? These SSFs are a joke or what. 22c spread on a $40 stock.

    Do commissions get any cheaper than IB?

    You can definitely find commissions by far cheaper than IB if you trade massive volume. But for the piker (c'est moi), IB seems to provide the cheapest commissions as far as I know.. Cheers 50

    Do commissions get any cheaper than IB?

    Tradestation has significantly reduced rates so to compete with IB... IB should do something to keep the competitive edge!

    Use Medved's Quote Tracker www.quotetracker.com it's free and it seems that this is exactly what you are looking for as far as an order execution platform goes.

    TA and Volume - any relationship

    Mut1ey, technical analysis is a commonly used as a term for chart studies (price, time, volume and indicators too). It is opposed to fundamental analysis when you buy or sell stocks based on their earnings, cash flow etc. price pattern (aka chart patterns) are one thing and indicators are...

    My trade didn't show on the datafeed!?

    I just checked globex time of sales data and my trade showed at the time i specified. It's not an internet problem because if you check esignal or tradestation data it will not show this trade, even now in hindsight..

    My trade didn't show on the datafeed!?

    On Sep 30 (Tuesday) at 15:24:20 my pre-entered order to buy to cover 2 NQ contracts at 1310.5 was executed and my position was closed for a profit. While I was already taken out, my datafeed was still showing NQ prices 2 points above. The high and low of the 15:24 bar are 1312-1313. The time...

    TA and Volume - any relationship

    Price, time, and volume are *real*. When I say real I mean that on planet earth there is a physical market place and transactions take place. Each transaction has a time, price, and volume. These can be plotted on the chart and this is how you can see transaction history and crowd behavior...

    eSignal NQ #F vs Z3 - why does it show different bars on the 1min chart?

    I am using eSignal and using symbols NQ #F, ES #F, and YM #F on various timeframes. Today during the trading day (and a few times in the past), the NQ #F one minute chart was different than the NQ Z3 chart - some bars had slightly different OHLC. Same was true for the ym and es. Notice...

    Ssf?

    I hear you.. what I was meaning to say by "trade the crowd" is that I am a chart pattern trader. That's why I trade the eminis, so to keep it as "pure" as possible. That's me anyway.. Thanks 50

    Ssf?

    I wouldn't trust it to be an arb opportunity, i tend to think the MMs know what they are doing.. within "legal" limits, they'll move the spreads and the ssf exactly in their favor on your expense. I don't even blame them for it, that's how they make a living when they make a market. I...

    Tradestation vs. IB

    Another TS huge disadvantage is that you can't trade without the data feed. If say, you go on a 2 months holiday, and wish to save the $200 feed fee, you cannot place trades (only by phone for a huge fee). I took swing trades when I was on holiday many times and unfortunately with TS that is not...

    Datek servers are down

    try logging in to datek through: https://investmenta.datek.com https://investmentb.datek.com PS there is no way to contact Freetrade by phone as far as I know. That alone may cost you all the commissions you aren't paying plus hunderds of times more the damage. Free comes with a dick...

    Ssf?

    I have tried to trade SSF for a while mostly on OneChicago and here are my observations for you: - the fills are fast and reliable, the bids and asks are real, the market markers will provide enough liquidity for you to get a fill on any lot size. So volume is not an issue. - the spread is...
