Spyder, It is obviously not a must. You can do it or not do it, it is up to you. My suggestion is that you should. You and Jack mastered this method and spend God knows how much time explaining it, but the human nature is that unless you see something with your own eyes the confidence will...

I do not use this method. I trade differently. I have learned a lot of very useful info on this thread and incorratred some of it into my entries which made them more presise. To be specific Spyder's discussions of DOM. I will follow the thread ragardless.

I certainly hope that what you said will not happen. But if videos will only be instructional and not from real trading then it would be a HUGE blow to the whole thing. Any master eventually shows a student what can be done in order to give a student confidence. This thread is a wealth of...

No question turning 12k into 1.65mm is a huge accomplishment. I was not trading during the glory days of .com so have no clue how I would perform. I personally know several guys who went from about 50k to over 1 mil, and then back to 0 during .com years. I trade my own money. I only trade...

That is correct you can develop you own stuff, and not in just some scripting language, but in C sharp within .NET framework, whcih pretty much allows you to do what ever you want. I am currently working on indIcator that analyzes all levels of MarketDpeth (which is alo accessible).

You have been trading for about 7-8 years I assume. Why the hell did you get into restricted shares and allowed someone to hold you by the throat. I thought you were experienced trader.

Ninja is a front end and not a data provider. You can save all the data that is populated in the charts during trading day. Alterntively you can use amny datasources, among them OpenTick that is free. Just sign up at OpenTick, then set up Open Tick connectionin Ninja and enjoy free historical data.

Of course you can. Just put cursor at the bottom of the chart, right below time on the chart, and then just click the mosue and move it to the right or left o zoom in and out.

Ninja has both static and dynamic Dom. Just look at all options under new.

Ninja 6 charts are pretty good. I am currently using them in my trading. Ninja 5 charts were quite basic. Ninja 6 is only around for few months, so many people have not adapted yet.

It is is bit difficult but totally doable. I go to bed at 9pm and usually do not trade on Mondays.

Intra day IB margin is quite high. It is 8600 EUR.

Spyder, I bet a lot of people on this thread would love to see live trading. Yes, the process of making decisions will be different for many, but it will provide huge confidence boost. Subconsciously many might doubt the method and it could be a root of problem. Making 1 day of live calls...

I personally drink green tea.

If you live in US and want to trade Asian markets Interactive brokers are your best and probably only choice. I was trading Hang Seng for some time and now back to DAX. Hang Seng is very thin, and recent volatility made spread to increase to a point where I could not trade it since I had to...

Totally agree. But my definition of scalping is not getting 2 ticks here and 2 ticks there. It is the ability by having a lot of precise entries turning probability towards yourself, withtight stops and letting the winning trades run. Most of my profits come from 3-6 trades where I let the...

Yes, carry looks very seductive. Borrow yen at basically 0 interest and invest it somewhere else. For example, Iceland where krona interest was recently as high as 12%. However once the cross moves against you, as we have seen recently, all return might vaporize. This strategy is best when used...

I had both feeds side by side. Could not see any difference. Also, anyone trading on eurex will have a probelm with zen-fire since every trade that is reported has volume of 99 contracts, which makes time@sales and volume charts useless. Also another broker that offers zen-fire are Mirus...
