I am not using it that way so you will have to check it out. If you buy SC's Charting Package #2 ($22 a month) you can set Sierra Chart Historical Intraday Futures Data and Sierra Chart Historical Data service up as two separate downloads. By using their service as separate feeds you get tick...

I pay $22 a month to Sierra Charts and get a good deal of Tick and One Minute Data on stocks and futures. One minute delayed 20 minutes tick is updated each night.

Am I missing something? If the price stops making sense and there is no longer value there for you -- STOP GOING. Many "free market" equations are tough to sort out. You need to balance airline safety/regulation against a bust out free market approach as an example of some complexity. But...

What type of spread does GBP/JPY entail and who is best to trade through?

The power of pussy must never be underestimated.

When China decides that it is time for Shanghai to eclipse HK they will simply level the playing field enough that what will then be the city that eclipsed New York will emerge as the leading financial center of the 21st century. I don't think most people realize that Shanghai already has...

It is very easy to mistake the totalitarian aspects of current day China for the communist regimes of the past. Granted, China is far from a free society but capitalism has taken hold in ways that all but assure that they will continue to move toward freedom ... even if the rate is too slow for...

AK ... You do raise the single biggest impediment to their growth. English is the Lingua franca but the Chinese have recognized that and make it esier and easier for English speakers to do business there. If the Chinese were native English speakers I would have predicted they would come...

Shanghai is the 8,000,000 pound gorilla. To believe that any financial market in the world will rank ahead of it in 20 years is, to my way of thinking, inane. Hong Kong has never been a serious contender for the gold. it will, in the very near future, be left in the dust.

The CEO at TOS must wake up with your money as his priority. He needs to be copied on the certified letters you send to the FBI, the SEC, the FTC, the Attorneys General of both your state and where their main office is. Day two is a Twitter day. All least 50 tweeets. Day three is a...

Ghost, Except for the word "probably" in the first sentence of your second paragraph (I would say definitely) I agree word for word with the tactics you describe for capturing most of the break. It is not enough to be right that it is a bubble. You also need to, as you rightly say, limit...

My uncle had cancer and he told me one day that he was pretty sure he knew what he would die from but he really had no firm grasp on when he would die. He said that until he had some better indication as to the when he was simply going to live his normal routine which he seemed content with...

Paul Mozer the top treasury trader at Salomon Brothers (and the one that went down in scandal in 1991) said once that when he got horrible execution it frequently resulted in a great trade. I think if you are a momentum player frequently you need to pay up to be in the trade.

A nice rhetorical flourish but I think it is safe to assume that Lefty has seen long shots that he believed were drastically under priced.

Do you actually believe that Lefty said that? Some ghost writer might have put that in a book or someone might add it to a screenplay but no one as sophisticated as he was could ever utter such an absurd statement.

The classic "overlay" that you describe is an opportunity and a great bet if your determination that the real probability is 8:1 is an accurate assessment. And since that is the hypothesis I accept it as fact. The fact that you need to bet scores (if not hundreds) of overlays to be sure of...

Yes. It is important (VERY IMPORTANT) to know if under real trading conditions the plan produces. As the kid says, the only way to know that is to execute the plan. It seems to me that there is an almost universal tendency to over think during the trading day. Market hours are times to...

We should not forget that Roosevelt pushed gold prices up quite dramatically at the depth of the depression in order to induce reflation. 1949 $40.50 1939 $35.00 1929 $20.67 1948 $42.00 1938 $35.00 1928 $20.67 1947 $43.00 1937 $35.00 1927 $20.67 1946 $38.25...
