    Best 24 inch monitor?

    Would one of you guys with a 24" screen give me the actual viewable width of it. Im assuming the 24 is a diagonal measurement but im more interested in the actual width of the visible screen. tia

    Hey all. Back from vacation. Like to put in a plug for Buttontrader for monitoring DOM. For me it gives the entire picture at a glance. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1487576">

    My entries are always over the hi/lo of the previous bar once the point three or rtl bounce (trade 3) seems established to me. Exits are basically a close over the rtl but are deliberately a little sloppy as thats the way they usually work out for me. If the bar is crossing the rtl at a fast...

    [B]Here is my hindsight coarse analysis. 1. Enter long pt3 on bar 4 at 1502 exit on rtl cross on bar 6 at breakeven. 2. Enter long pt3 on bar 9 at 1502.25 using 15:55 bar from previous day as point 1. Draw in tighter channel line on volatility expansion. Exit on new channel rtl cross at...

    Looking for new Trading setup

    I have not used Ninja but I am using Buttontrader with IB and I like it so much that I always reccommend it to people inquiring about software. The thing that I like so much about it is the ease with which you can make adjustments to your strategy once you are in the trade.

    Jack Hershey, why won’t you simplify ??

    looks = trading ability? Typical of the logic that pervades these types of threads.

    Jack Hershey, why won’t you simplify ??

    Yep Jacks stuff is really deep. Way over the heads of most people. No sense in even trying to understand all that mumbo jumbo when Trading for Dummies is only about $20.

    I did one trade, long on bar 6 and washed for -2 ticks. It was pointed out to me in the room that the first three bars were declining volume which I seem to have overlooked so I did learn something. PAY MORE ATTENTION! I then missed the only decent trade of the day which was the short on bar 6-7...

    Ticks and tape

    I dont really use time and sales so I dont track it that closely but the time and sales on qt matches the last trade on tws and the combination of QT and IB works well for me. The different data feeds Ive tried were no better than IB and some were definitely worse but I havent tried them all.

    Ticks and tape

    Not sure if this is what you mean but Quotetracker with IB time and sales shows trades going off at bid in red and ask in green. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1458655">

    The next step for a profitable trader

    If you can trade the minis it really doesnt take much to get started. With IB my charting and frontend only cost a few dollars a month and you can open an account with 2k. It takes awhile to build a small account up but after a few months you will be off to the races.
