If I was going to be doing any "mobile trading"...I would do it on iPad or a MAC laptop instead of an iPhone if remaining in the iOS. Yet, I can see the usefulness of the iPhone (I have one) for closing positions only or monitoring a few realtime charts/quotes only. wrbtrader

What if the issue is just you...the trader ??? Thus, no matter what strategy (simple or complex) you use, you will not be profitable because the real issue is you the trader...not the tools. I only say the above because its something you need to look into after you've been at it for 7 years...

Back in the day...these places were referred to as "arcades". I first heard the word used in the 1990s. Yet, its been years (since the 2008 financial fiasco) since I've seen that word used. Today, they are primarily located in global financial communities (e.g. Chicago, New York, London, Hong...

You're profitable...it seems strange to spend a bulk of your time here on ET telling others that intraday does not make sense. Therefore, I suspect you intentionally left out one important fact about your profitablility. The fact that your profitability does not involve intraday trading. That...

Wow :(

So these brokers were trading (excessive trading) the accounts for their clients or were the brokers just giving out alerts about what to trade, when to buy and when to sell ???

There are old threads in the past that was specific to such type of discussions about pair trading the Emini futures. Several active members didn't like it and turned it into bitch fest...thread eventually just died because people got tired of the debates. If that's what you're interested...

Thanks and for the line chart comparisons. I'm surprise RTY (formerly TF) was able to keep up with the other Emini futures when it was being bounced around from one exchange to the other exchange. Also, I wonder what happen in 2014 (near mid year) for NQ to break away (upwards) from the pack ...

What does the red line represent on the chart ? wrbtrader

I can't remember the names of the charting vendors but there's some out there that "blend intervals" for you...intraday and daily if that's what you're really talking about. Yet, if you're talking about overlaying the price action of XLF with XLI as if "blending" one chart with another chart...

Traders (retail & professional at the exchanges) provides a lot more than liquidity for those involved in the markets including for the government... Traders with families to support are providing for their needs...housing, food, education and so many things that I do not have time to mention...
