You just said a mouthful. Indicators don't "always work"... they have limitations. Once you get a handle on that, they're useful.

OK, got it. You're talking about eSig v12, not MS v12.

"Loquacious is bad" -- Mr. Mackey (South Park)

Fidelity ATP doesn't offer futures trading. I'm looking to ditch eSignal. I think I can change things around and get along without it. eSig v10.6 is required to work with MetaStock v11. Later versions of eSig don't work.

Can you even still get v12?? v15 is the most recent. I don't trade through eSignal. When I started with them they didn't have charts or broker links. Back then we used eSignal for data only and other 3rd party trading apps. I still do that. I use Rithmic for ES DOM trading and Fidelity ATP...

I thought Venezuela was broke and their people were starving, thanks to Maduro. Where did they come up with the goods to ship to others in need?

Yes, that would do it. I have v11 and Equis recommends "upgrade to v15". I've got problems with that. (1) Upgrade (forced) costs $349. (2) Data cost will increase by ~$800/yr having to use Reuters instead of eSignal. (3) Their DRM hosed both of us. We had to pay for the software, but...

Yes, problem is some sort of thing with "video on secondary monitors". Whatever I've put on the secondaries has always worked... except for IB's TWS. I'm going to try something like Sierra Charts. If still a problem, I'll have to look deeper.

CQG is the data provider. Are you also using their trading platform? If not, what? I'm kind of like you. K.I.S.S. I don't pursue anything complicated, but I do want quality charts and ease of tools to use them. BTW.... MetaStock is EXCELLENT at both. I've used their software for many...

That's funny. As I as coming in from taking out the trash, I was thinking of this thread... and about making the analogy of trying to drive a nail with a screwdriver. :)

Thank goodness I know better than to listen to this kind of bilge. :)

I've been using MetaStock on secondary monitors for years. I opened TWS on primary monitor and did some personalization... then dragged the window to the secondaries and it all locked up. I hadn't give a thought to the "primary"/"secondary" monitor thingy for years. I guess all I ever put on...

In a multi-monitor system, one monitor is designated as "primary". Some video functions will work only on the primary, not on secondaries. Interesting you've run TWS on 3-monitor, W7 setup. I tried similar and everything locked up. ??

My first charting program was Ensign... waaaay back when. Ran on an 8086, XT machine with 720K floppy drives.

In some kind of crisis/emergency, the last thing on my mind would be, "breaking into a store to steal their stuff". Who the Hell does that?? (I know, rhetorical question.)

The real story is that neither "leads" nor "holds sway" over the other. Price moves via buying/selling. Futures reflect price changes almost instantly, so they appear to lead... indices a bit later. Index price changes have to work their way "through the tape"... and get displayed with a bit...

I used to have an account with DDT, but when they left Wedbush for Ironbeam, I didn't go along.

I've been using MetaStock for years, but now have issues with them. Been trying out IB's. Not bad, but nowhere as good as MetaStock. AND, won't run on secondary monitors. (At least the demo won't. Anyone know different?) 1st thing I need is data/charting ES/NQ with DOM trading. 2nd...

HILLARY: Never again! "I am done with being a candidate.” https://www.infowars.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We should be so lucky.

It's difficult for our country to do any kind of unification when our government elites are busting their hump to divide us on every front. (They understand and are intentionally exploiting the notion, "A house divided cannot stand". They don't care about America or our future. They only care...
