this might not sound real helpful, but it may end up being the case one year of daily trading to start making money - from skill as opposed to luck - and to see and experience a yearly cycle - and another year to get those hone those skills and concentrate on a trading style and this is a...

thank you - everyone for your responses

Cesko i tried to make it clear that high volume trading is not instead of expertise in trading, it is part of a trading methodology, which uses expertise in taking high reward/low risk trades - where the commision fee is calcuated into risk/reward - and therefore the level of commision has a...

TAfool is it the number of tabs that you cannot control, or is it what is on each tab, that you cannot control?

craig i have really valued your comments on here - but there is just absolutely no way that a customer on a direct connection - is treated the same as an internet connection and if rcg really only had one pats entry point - all it would mean is that the direct conections are on trading...

when they say - you cannot configure your own tabs - what do they mean? is there anywhere in real tick where i can get "stocks" to just show a 1,5,15,30 min candle chart of one stock?

yep, that sounds like what he is saying and in many cases i am sure they do, since if a trade happened - it must have got transferred to the p&l, and at any rate the trade would not get done without being checked with the p&l and in fact there is an important point here - as they could give...

metooxx i meant when someone is in a trade and knows their position, and just want to get out - so their position should show up in p&l on IBs computer there may be instances where IB cannot get the information they require, but there may also be instances when they have all the...

Jeffo thanks for that link are u up on this though - is the point of this that tabs are not supported by real tick and you have to work out your own programming for them

def hi, why don't IB offer a way to get people out of a trade - when the IB system is down - there is no way they leave their own in-house traders hanging?

assuming someone can already trade - one of the keys to really making money is to obtain the absolutely lowest commision rate that you can - so that if you scratch a trade at zero loss - the commission has a minimal affect on your p&l far from overtrading being a negative ( an old idea based...

you could be trading 8 emini S&Ps for $4,000 or even more contracts - with some brokers when u start out and with others when they see your risk/reward strategy

BullFighter all i want to do with it is create a number of tabs for time - 5min, 15min, 30mins and day - i am sure it can do it - as one of the examples was not far off this - but still trying to figure it out esignal charting was always considered as something they just threw in as it was...

Can anyone kindly help with the following A) Just trying out realtick and the use of tabs looks real interesting on the stock window - but in help it says that you can control tabs by the use of "Change the tabs on the Stocks window You can add or remove tabs on the Stocks window...

has anyone here had a chance to compare real tick to cqg in real time trading situations?

mettoox Since we have an active member of the CBOE here; why: 1) do you put up a market and not honor it? 2) sit on cancels until the underlying turns against the order? 3) use the bust rules to trade after the fact? i have not got a clue about most of this debate - but i...

joe flapjack there are also some issues in esignal data in metastock - one of which is that they use different timing - i can't remember which is which now - but one ends the interval on the stated time, and one starts the interval at the stated time - there is also the fact that metastock...

tntneo that was my point - the implications of data delivery and candles is something you understand, but most dont - and i dont use candles for all the doji stuff, just as an easy way to see h,l,c and therefore the implications of relative short term closes around key support resistance...

its reading stuff on a forum like this that makes me happy that i have chosen to learn about futures and not options! but in confusion - there is opportunity - now there's a dangerous thought

i keep reading on here that everyone thinks esignals data is great - but i found a lot of anomalies in their data, which ultimately they end up agreeing is the case, but they never get back to you with why half the problem is that most who take esignal dont really understand data delivery...
