I have to correct my own post here (the bold sentence, had to add the "NOT"), typing error, sorry, now it makes more sense :)

I still think Tradovate offers a great package. I was a bit confused a while ago about their changes in their membership fee structure and recently with the change in their FCM policy (they now offer both Dorman and Phillip Capital as FCM). I talked with them about all this and I dont see it as...

ES, thank you for your very friendly words. What I share here I share because it is fun, it feels good to share with certain people, people that are on the same rocky path that others like me have walked before. What I have to offer here are no great secrets or holy grails or perfect setups...

LOL man, why did you get banned at FXCM ?

Yes, but they charge some small extra fees so in the end you pay something pretty similar to what AMP will charge you with their 2K membership (which of course is still very low, especially for the Eurex contracts)...

I am in Europe, so it is not night for me when I trade Eurex :) Eurex is trading from 8am till 10pm Frankfurt time. If you need something very nice and liquid for later in the day/ night in your timezone, you might try the Nikkei futures. The mini Nikkei future is very similar to the ES...

It is a normal DOM. For a basic point and click scalper, Sierra Chart will do the same job. In fact, for my needs I prefer the Sierra DOM over the TT DOM.

Scalping is intense, and it is hard to focus and concentrate 8 hours a day. I recommend to keep your session tight. I like to focus on the european opening from 9am to 10am Frankfurt time. Then I often take a break till 8 or 9am New York time. I then trade the US openings for about an hour and...

Pepperidge Farm ?!!? :D:D:D OMG, this is some good shit here... someone hand me the popcorn :cool:

FESX, FGBL, FGBM: 10 EUR FGBS: 5 EUR FDAX: 12.50 EUR

4.50 with AMP, ok but you can get lower, even with them. They are very transparent with their fee structure: https://portal.ampclearing.com/account/commissionquote.aspx If you go with AMP, you might also select the CQG feed and Sierra Chart as your platform, an excellent combination. With this...

The Futex guys (now Axia Futures) know their stuff... maybe this video will help you.

LOL ! I dont think it is possible you know me haha :D Yes, you have to try yourself to see what works for you, what market feels good for you. But there is so much to choose from, it is great ! Maybe one additional hint... if you are just starting and you want to go the scalping way, you have...

Like with everything, there are 2 sides of the medal. A bracket order will immediately place the offset order for you, so in a very fast market this can be an advantage. It is possible that after you get filled on the bid, in 1 second, before you could manually place the offset order the market...

And when you say orders, of course there are orders over more than 1 contract. But the PIQ and the bid/ask size will always show you the number of contracts, no matter in how many orders they are packed to. Even if there is only 1 limit buy order at a price level with a size of 3000 contracts...

The VAP is something different. It has nothing to do with the resting limit orders. The VAP shows the volume that has already been traded during that session on each price level. I dont pay too much attention to it, but it can help you to identify areas of high activity, resistance and so on...

I will give you an example how the PIQ can help you. Imagine you trade a thick market like the ZN. On each tick the bid/ ask size might be around 1000 to 3000 contracts. Lets say you place a limit buy order now, several ticks away from the inside bid/ask. The bid size at the the price where you...

Instead of adding some funny indicators, which will add nothing but confusion, I suggest you to add a feature that the TT platform offers that can really give you some additional information that sometimes can give you a very useful hint if you should keep your limit order or if you should...

I agree 100% ! Same experience here, except I was never in the pits but at the computer, but basically it was the same. Sit there every day, follow the market without any gimmicks, and sooner or later you have to figure it out. Or with the words of Tom Baldwin: “It's perseverance” declares Tom...

Many times these funny tall bars out of nowhere are the result of some kind of economic data/ news announcement at that time. Thats why I really recommend all serious traders to check a good, complete economic calendar at the beginning of the day, and also to run a market squawk service during...
