No comments on this topic? Either it is not interesting enough, or it's just me... :confused: When trading QQQ for instance, the average trade size is about 1000 shares, but the most common size is 100 shares. When looking at the number of ticks (represented as volume bars in a one-minute...

At least in TradeStation, the default setting for the volume indicator for 1-minute charts (and tick charts) is based on tick count - not trade volume. This setting can be changed. I mainly trade with a 1 minute chart. Since I discovered this setting, I keep two volume indicators - one for...

Thanks for the links FX-Trader and J-Trade! The Tradernet.org site looks great, but my german is a bit rusty, so unfortunately not much of use for me... However, I've joined the omega-list, thanks! One improvement I hope to see in TS soon: Being able to set the vertical grid lines to...

Does anyone know of a forum where questions regarding the TradeStation software are discussed (besides here)? I have recommended TradeStation to start a site for this, but in the meanwhile - or if they don't - I would be interested in an organized forum discussing issues regarding TS...

Thanks Eddie! As the 19" CRT monitor has about the same viewable size of the screen as a 17" TFT monitor, I assume they will look good next to each other, using the same chart program on both! If different sizes, I would think it would look strange. Question: Does anyone have a link for...

Anyone who trades on Both TFT and CRT next to each other? Any problems with this set-up? Thinking about using 17" TFT next to 19" CRT...

Vinigar, The base fee, wherein Level II is included, is 99.95 per month. http://www.tradestation.com/fees/platform.shtm Are there other costs to TS I'm not taking into account?

I've been looking at different brokers, suitable for my kind of trading. The ones I've compared are CyberTrader, IB and TradeStation. I trade almost without exception QQQ, 1000 or 2000 at a time. During some periods, I don't trade at all, due to too much work in my firm, so the cost when not...

As I mostly trade the Q's - what would the best way be to route them with IB? I believe ISLD is faster than AMEX. How would BEST handle an order of QQQ? Could I easily chose to route it through ISLD?

I'm currently a CyberTrader client, trading QQQ most of the time. I'd like to ask the board if you have any experience using IB for QQQ trading? Most traders here, satisfied with IB, seem to be futures traders. Trading QQQ on NYSE may be different? I'm also looking into using TS6 for the...

Thankyou Def, I apprecite your advice and knowledge in this field. Like I said, I'm quite new to the game, compared to maný of you from what I read, even though I've been in the investment game for quite a while. I suspect I'll keep bugging you all with questions, and, once in a while I...

Thanks! Seems my $40 per trade at CT equals $10 at IB for 1000 QQQs. CT: $14.95 + 0.005*1000 times 2 = 40 IB: 0.005 * 1000 times 2 = 10 What main differences are there, anyone with experience from both of them? I use TradeStation for the charting, so that is taken care of. Only thing I...

IB really seems popular here! Today I use CyberTrader, and I ask myself why I should change? I'm a private investor, mostly trading 1000 or 2000 QQQs with about 5 trades per day. With Cybertrader I pay $15 per trade + 0.005/share for amex trading, meaning 15+5 times 2 equals $40 per roundtrip...

Chamol, I'm, like you, mostly trading QQQ. I use TradeStation for their good charting features (3 minute is no problem) and CyberTrader for execution. As a quite fresh trader when it comes to daytrading, I have much to learn and to perfection, and is always seeking new and better ways of...
