You are in for a big surprise when you start to place live trades following their calls.

No one whom you pay will ever show successful day trading method for futures. Some might show parts of what they do to get additional capital for themselves, but this would be it. The simple reality is that there are not that many day trading markets for futures, and if one knows how to do it...

Another allure for CDS was that since there are no regulations it was perfectly legal to use insider info and buy sell these instruments to bet on companies future.

How about 16th amendment, which made personal incomes taxable? Yes, in the past, there was no personal income tax, but this is way back in history (soon it will be 100 years old).

What's the daily volume?

Nothing changes, even with all this shit. Isn't it amazing???? Corporate governance takes back seat in bailouts. Treasury's investments will do little to advance cause, experts say By Alistair Barr, MarketWatch...

I trade intra day with high frequency only directionally.

I had put side by side the following T&S: zen-fire, x_trader/tt, interactive brokers and esignal. None matched exactly. It is hard to say which one is correct. What I do is: I capture most recent bid and ask and match last price against it.

What do you mean by this? Since the Eurex zen-fire feed change from about 1 month ago, all seem to be fine both tape and DOM. Zen-fire actually gives a much more detailed T&S then TT. Regards, redduke

I trade DAX with 8 tick SL, with the spread easily being 4 ticks (used to be usually 1-2 ticks), and the speed of moves, DAX is currently too risky for me to trade. I had a very good morning with FESX today. Did anyone experience several short data freezes during first few hours in Eurex...

Eurostoxx is usually quite slow, but last few weeks it have very decent moves. Take a look at it. The moment things go back to normal, I will switch back to DAX. My main goal is not to loose, and with DAX current spread and book depth, there is much more risk with it, than I want to take.

Few things that make DAX trading more difficult over the last few weeks is widened spread and thinner book. I am planning to make temporary switch to FESX, it became volatile enough for intra day trading for me, and its book depth and spread are excellent.

This is what I read as well about 1 year ago when the news of sequel started to surface.

IronFist, Take a look at this thread: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=103293 I have started it a while back. I use both charts and DOM, and DOM helps me as a filter. Regards, redduke

For 6+ years after 911 there were no black swans, as I was reading his book, it downed on me, that he hit his own black swan - which was absence of any black swans, and this is why he closed his fund. His strategy involves tons of small losses, and very rare but huge big wins, it would work...

I settled on 144. If someone asks, but will it work on 134 or 154, the answer is yes. I picked this number for the charts to be fast enough for my trading style, but to also give enough time to enter the trades.

Yes, just ask your broker for login info, and enter it in account connections. XT/TT is a more complex set up (not really difficult, just a lot of steps). Your broker should have step by step instructions.

Most of my trades are a wash (few ticks winners and losers). The small part of trades are large winners. I have very tight SL, since large one really mess up my psychology. I have many trades every day, and NEVER leave any open positions. I trade of constant volume charts and rely on DOM as...

I wish I was an owl. It is just, I want to trade more than I want to sleep. I only trade Eurex (DAX) for now. I am accumulating grab stake for full time trading. I usually trade it for 2-4 hours after cash opens, most of the time just first 2 hours. Regards, redduke

Both of these combination will work on the same PC.
