This is cool for a constant watch list, but I really need to be able to plug a hundred or so symbols and then see the respective charts. I am beginning to think that only a web-based application can do this and there may be no alternative to Prophet charts.

Yeah, that looks good actually, but I need the charts to be six times bigger than that. After I scan them visually, I can then simply watch the last price and change.

Hi, what is in your opinion the best software/website to view multiple charts at a glance? Let's say for example that I have a list of 100 stocks and I want to see 100 daily charts without having to manually enter every symbol, so that I can check them for swing trading setups. A couple of...

These factors are probably affecting the market in the medium term. I trade for short term profits so I stick to technical analysis. The market could be up three days from now and down a month from now.

I have a very small account at OptionsXress, which I should probably close. But it has enough margin for mini-contracts so I decided to give it a try. Of course the big contracts are the better choice.

Yeah, my entry was also good at the 723 breakout on Friday. Well, at least it's nice experience to trade those illiquid contracts :cool:

I actually saw the prints on the CBOT site - on the electronic trading. Did I actually know what I was trading...

Thanks guys, it seems that I even got lucky to be filled at 720 :)

Hi, my sell-stop for 2 July mini corn contracts (YCN8) got filled yesterday (June 16, 2:11:44 PM) at 720. However I don't see mini corn prices below 724 on the chart on the CBOT website. Can anyone tell me if July mini corn has traded below 724 yesterday (June 16) or Monday (June 15)?

Yes, I will not scalp. So I guess the trading functionality will be fine.

Anyone ?

Hi, I want to use the CQG Integrated Client which has great charting and historial data. But I also wonder how do you like the trading capabilities of the platform? Would you rather use only the basic charting/analytical package of CQG Integrated Client and execute your trades through a...

I wonder if there are people here that swing trade (2-3 days to a couple of months) multiple markets, not just one. For example US equities through S&P500 (SPY or futures), corn, sugar, crude oil, gold, perhaps even some major currencies. I am thinking that if one has a good grasp of...

Thanks a lot lindq, I might focus on one instrument at first, this will help me be more selective in my trades and refine my strategy. Do you stick to one instrument (an index future) or you also day trade stocks?

I should deffinitely do that, perhaps I could risk 0.1% of my equity per day trade - then I have to lose 50 times in a row to lose 5% of my equity, which will be a cheap way to find out if I can make it.

Sure, if you aim for 1.0% move, it is only natural to have a 0.25-0.35% stop. But you will also have to risk smaller fraction of your capital per each trade. If you risk 1.5% of your equity in a swing trade, perhaps you should risk no more than 0.5% in a day trade.

Hi, I've been trading since 2003 and I am profitable at swing trading. My holding period is either 2-3 days or a couple of months on average. I wonder if I should be more active in the shorter time frames, i.e. day trading? It makes sense, because whatever edge I have should also be...

On the other hand, London market makers in the ETCs quote them even when the corresponding futures contract is limit-bid or offered :)

Has anyone actually traded ETCs on the London Stock Exchange? If so, what is the liquidity ? I noticed that there are very few trades with some of them, there were even days when they were not traded... Anyway if anyone has traded, or is willing to trade, can you recommend a broker that deals in...

What is this MYTr.AT :confused: Oh, I guess I have to use Google to find out :p
