If you were trading ES/NQ/YM and are switching to ER2, take half the position size at first. Because it really moves more, your way or against you. Plus the occasional mad rinses and spreads. Start slow and you should be fine.

That could be a good idea.. I'll check that out with them. Thanks.

It's this intraday data delay I was referring to. Anyway, you are right, I should indeed test it. A bit annoying to open an account just to test drive the software but I might do so. I don't think I'll leave eSignal, they have some features I like and I don't do any strategy trading. But I...

That's not what I was asking though. Forget ES and NQ for a second, and assume I want to flip through 200 stocks. In eSignal I literally download them in the morning, and then I can revert to any stock any time throughout the day and the chart immediately (zero wait) appears, because the data...

yo flyingdutch, can you provide me the link to this free trial offer? I'll be more than delighted to take use of it. I couldn't find any, and even emailed them, and they wrote that they don't offer any sort of trial, and instead i should watch the "interactive demo". ha.

PS flyingdutch, if you trade non-US markets, be aware that TS does not offer international data. I don't mind which software you choose because I am not affiliated with any of them. However be aware of your specific needs because those needs are a crucial factor for your decision....

yo, i don't care who wins dude. i was considering TS, yet a few people told me that 'chart flipping' is slow. I guess they were all lying?????? I asked my question for informational purposes for myself. if I can get a reliable answer, I might switch to TS. PS if those guys would...

Question: Assume a hypothetical situation where I use only 1 layout (no multiple workspaces), with only one chart. Now in this chart I want to view NQ, then flip to the ES, and then back to NQ, and then back to ES, endlessly, throughout the day. Every few seconds I flip between ES and NQ...

er2 is the russell2000 (small cap) index emini. tick size is $10, i.e. $100 per index point. if you are accustomed to trading say 6 NQ contracts per position, start trading the ER2 with only 3. It really moves and provides good risk reward ratios. It spikes sometimes but not too much.

I made no statistical calculations, but from days and days of watching and actively trading these contracts, I can say that in general they make more or less equal moves in $ amount (e.g. if ES moves 1 pt., then YM moves 10 pts.). However, favor the strong contract if you're long and the weak...

No dogg, I wanted to show off so I got the score card paper and copied the results here. Got it stuck in some drawer with my microsoft certifications and the rest of the toilet paper.

That was my breakdown (in the score card): Section - Score range 1 The RR and the Customer 76%-85% 2 Brokerage products above 90% 3 Derivative products above 90% 4 Handling costumer accounts 76%-85% 5 Regulation above 90% 6 Order entry, confirmation and settlement above...

Get the Dearborn training CDROM. They have hundreds of drill questions arranged into subjects, plus simulated full exams. When I took my S7 I used this cd, the arrangement of questions into subjects was priceless. Many of the questions appear in the actual exam word for word too. Got a...

is it safe to trade??

In your mind, if you replace the word "rules" with the word "methods", you'll find it easier to follow those methods (to have discipline). Because we all hate rules don't we? And we hate discipline too don't we? It's natural. However, we don't mind having a "method", some know-how that...

traderj, hope all traders do well! a trading office not crooked? i'll believe it when i see it. however, traders who use their common sense should do well anyway. good trading! 50

because, my friend, if my posts will deter even one single trader from going to those crooked trading offices, then I have earned my place in heaven. but traderj and his alikes shouldn't worry, because as we all know, there'll always be enough suckers. it's also a good mental exercise to...

And tell us about your system too. Let me guess: you scalp 10,000 shares a position for 0.02c profit. A can't lose system! And also tell us about your desk fees. And tell us about your volume requirements, for which you will kick out the traders who don't meet them every month. And tell...

Yes you are right. I also found that after a killer trade, that gave me some big bucks, I tend to react a lot more. Trying to re-live the experience or something, I develop a gambler's mentality. Although that initial killer trade was well planned and came from predicting and not reacting. A...

hey nononsense, cool, i wasn't trying to convert anyone.. it just that it took me a while to find out what seperates my good trades from my bad ones. turns out that in almost all my good trades, i was predicting, and in almost all my bad trades, i was reacting. cost me a lot of money to make...
