It is not the cost, which I agree is not big at all. It is the fact that the trades are getting exposed. But no one should judge something before he actually sees how it works. I agree it is interesting what you are doing. Do you mind sending me PM with details for trial? Thanks, redduke

What is so horrific about them? I use them and pretty happy.

I have been using Ninja since their 5.0 version. During those just as order entry only. Once 6.5 was released, it pretty much become very powerful trading and charting platform. You do need to do some work to figure out all options, and their support forum is excellent. You get reply with few...

Let's truly hope that this is the case. But, with all this shit going on, any insane laws could be created. Sometimes, all logic is being tossed out of the window.

Have not watched it for a while. Actually planning to watch FastMoney tonight. Sometimes what is being said is funnier than sit comms. In other times, just interesting to see other people opinions.

When made my post I saw yours. Great minds think alike. :)

At the end of article it says: (Michael Lewis, author of ``Liar's Poker,'' ``Moneyball,'' and ``The Blind Side,'' is a columnist for Bloomberg News and an imaginary hedge-fund manager. The opinions he expresses are his own.) What does "an imaginary hedge-fund manager" mean?

You are more braver than me. I reduced my size down to 2. The way I trade is all in and all out. The moves these days are so big that even with 2 cars yield enough profit.

Where there is smoke, there is fire, but let's hope that this all is BS. if they go down and liquidate, it is going to be very nasty.

Yep, now it makes sense. We just call them differently. It is interesting to know this. :) No one here calls it 1/2 tick. For example, S&P e-mini moves in .25 increments, and when someone says it moved 1 point it is the same is saying 4 ticks. This kind of SL in DAX is absolutely fine...

If anything, CFTC should take over SEC. CFTC is doing it sjob properly, where SEC is just a temp place for lawyers before they move to Corporation they were supposed to police. From WSJ: Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox said he strongly supports merging his...

The reason why I asked about tick is that DAX moves in 0.5 increments that are called ticks, which I am sure you know about. So, when you say 5 full ticks, I was a bit curious. I assume you meant 5 full points (10 ticks), and in this case it is more than adequate for short term trading even...

Just to clarify do you use 5 ticks or 5 points? Not sure how you can trade with 5 ticks in this market, the spread these days jumps from 3 to 7 ticks easily all the time.

Interesting concept. But what is the incentive of traders to share their trades and pay 150GBP to do it?

I am back to trading DAX. The range is phenomenal and the trades can easily run for 20 points and more, which is offset by a much thinner book and wider spread. I the spread gets 4 ticks plus, I will ignore the trade even with the best signal. Also, I increased SL by 2 ticks. What are the...

I use market order only, well kinda. When I click on bid or ask column on DOM, it create a working limit order which is immediately filled at this or better price. So in reality it is market order with the protection not to go over my limit price. I do incur slippage, especially in recent...

Let's hope. When crises like the current strike all logic goes out of the window, anything can happen. They could easily pass a law to regulate derivatives that is aimed at let's say CDS, but futures could be included as "innocent bystanders" and the new law could have very adverse effect...

When ever I read about transaction tax, I just want to yell: "Are you fu..ng kidding me? This will make trading obsolete since you would only be able to buy, hold and pray to overcome transaction costs. The simple math for ES is ($50* 950 (let's take this index value) ) is $47,500 value of...

Wow, I had no clue about this. This alone definitely earns my gratitude and should ear gratitude of countless many. It is weird to think of a time when there were no electronic index futures, and no index futures at all.
