    Tradestation vs Multicharts

    I don't know since I don't use Multicharts, but it would be weird if they don't have at least false stop orders, which are market orders sent when the level is reached. Real stop orders are like limit orders and entered in the exchange platform ( globex for example ) to get filled as soon as...

    eurodollar futures

    You've made 12 points, from 5 to 17... You know, when you buy an asset at x, and it goes to y, z, w..., you don't add every tick to calculate your gains, it's just the exit minus the entry, that's how trading works... Sorry to be rude, but what's wrong with you?

    In the long run, Commodities are moving more in unison?

    I noticed it in the grains this year. When one goes limit up/dn, there are better chances that others will do the same. Oats and Rice are quite independant but there must be a good part of arb volume for wheat, corn and the soy complex . Charts look the same on most days.
