    Best software for intraday

    Anyone familiar with stockrover.com Are the price quotes delayed? There is a delay from the exchanges, which is typical for financial websites. For most stocks the delay in getting the data from the exchanges is about 1 minute, while for more obscure stocks the delay is 5 minutes, and for...

    NQ... My Bias is still short

    Emotions obey no lines. Buy-the-deepers/swing traders are trapped. Waiting for them to throw in the towel before moving higher. Another worthless opinion :)

    ET Wizards Book

    I like stories too, that's why I'm here on free forum. But if I pay for advise, I want it to come from someone who actually made real money trading a viable strategy.

    Have the falls finished?

    Waiting for the flush and sentiment to shift negative. May miss the Santa Claus rally, but not picking pennies in front of this loco-motive with one wheel off the rails.

    What happened to Mercenary Trader?

    They definitely called trades and position sized them properly. They didn't do badly the year I subscribed (don't remember actual numbers, I wasn't really there to shadow them). Lack of focus just turned me off. I remember they wanted to buy office building in Las Vegas and soliciting...

    What happened to Mercenary Trader?

    I think you are right. So hard to believe people can be so knowledgeable and insightful about the business and not be able to trade. I always thought they would come out with a book after hitting an exceptonally good year. The book would be awesome, imo. Can't trust no one in this business...

    ET Wizards Book

    I disagree. Plenty of people can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk. The industry is small so once you put your name under it, the truth will come out.

    Is paper trading a waste of time or does it yield benefits?

    Simplistic simulator is fairly easy to provide. Instead of routing order to venue(nyse, NASDAQ, etc), fake fill the orders internally. Everything else stays the same. Realistic simulator is more difficult and for some instruments impossible (latency, fill rate, market impact, etc). Must have...

    Automated trading strategies

    Bogus. Every broker provides a smart route, is that an algo strategy? If I send peg order, is that an algo? Do I need a paper ticket for it to be non algo?

    Any Charts that I can feed my own market data?

    @MotiveWave, I'm looking at the Basic Charts ($99 lifetime licence). I'm thinking of feeding the charts with my own data (most likely polygon.io) but simulating IQFeed API to your platform. Is it possible for you to confirm below? 1. Your platform is Java based but I don't see linux download...

    Can you automate your option strategy?

    I'm talking about automating your strategy. Fo example, your rule says that if your short strike getting challenged, you want to roll the spread. Can you automatically pick "the right" strikes (but not sacrifice your edge)? This is something that escapes me about you. I see/hear people simply...

    The things I learned

    No way this guy is trading for one year. Maybe that particular strategy, but he must have been around trading for a while. When I started reading I thought he was @fan27 :)

    What market is best for scalping?

    Thank you for answering. I always assumed that in FX, robots that make money will be shut down (or restricted) as they start adding size. ForexChief is it's own liquidity provider?

    What risk management mistake did optionsellers.com fund manager do to blow up his fund and clients?

    It's scary to think that there are many cases like this that were simply lucky to get mean reversion to bail them out in time. And they will say ... See our proprietary algos combined with exceptional risk controls worked perfectly!

    I understand the cost reduction plus a better control of the process. But is there more likely hood of optionssellers.com scenerio than when there is independent clearing?

    Server or Local Based

    I see some people have six(or more) monitors with hundreds of charts. Don't you think that kind of set up needs a gaming PC?
