thanks again folks, I totally agree (@ElectricSavant )....theory isn't a replacement for the real deal.

thanks folks, you all pretty much hit it on the head. It's indeed first time I hear about the "summer slow down" thing!.....say, what's so special about summer? why do the emini's slow down during it? @southall: great point. @wrbtrader: good idea. I get data from CQG and use sierra, both are...

Hey Folks, I am looking at the ES minute charts and DOM table and it seems bizarrely slow today....so weird in fact that i called the FCM and the data provider to check whether there are technical issues going on.....they said nope, all fine and dandy on their end. mind you, i was checking the...

thanks birdman

Hi Folks, So I decided to go with AMPfutures and get CQG data feed. Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation regarding which platform to use? AMP offers many for free but i guess it comes down to what i need, here is a short list of things I would like to have: 1) multi-monitor support...

thanks folks for all your valuable input....i will reach out to AMP to start an account.

thank you guys.... ya...@truetype....makes sense.....but damn it, it wouldn't cost them nothing if they actually opened an individual account for EACH client......heck, i would do it that way....easier book keeping too. anyway, thanks guys

truetype, my sentence is pretty clear..... i want access to the bank account they will open for me "my segregated account". i want to know the bank's name, and account number so i can check the balance myself....what do you NOT understand???? "Either you believe your brokerage statements and...

Thanks Bob, as a client at such a firm, would have access to my "customer segregated" account for my own auditing? it's not that I don't trust AMP to stay straight.....I don't trust the NFA to keep AMP straight :)

Hi folks, i recently discovered this obscure futures broker (AMPfutures) and have no clue about them. they are offering very low margin requirements but are they legit? they don't seem FDIC/SIPC insured......what am i missing? should we worry about our funds? thanks

Hey folks, I wanna thank you again for your kind input i received on a previous thread I started a while back. It really opened my eyes on how much i didn't know, and how naive I was. Well, now i am back at it again..:) I am interested in scalping the e-minis for small # of contacts say 1-5...

thanks for folks for all your input, SKyChef, I think i know why (or should i say "based off what") TD is claiming 0.2 sec execution time.....it's basically Citadel's market order execution time...check their 606 report. the remaining time is for TD/Citadel negotiating how to carve up your pie...

thanks for the input. can you please elaborate more on this? what kind of stocks where you trading,position size, order type (limit/market, marketable/nonmarketable, at the quote limit/inside the limit...etc)? also what about the time aspect of order filling? average time to fill a market...

thanks Handle

thx for the input...though i'd appreciate an answer to the Qs posted :) like I said, I knew to all this scalping business...but say we're talking stocks like aapl/msft...etc..there is a ton of volume to go around.....i am not sure i understand your concern. are you saying that the order (limit...

forgot to add that i am targeting only big cap high liquidity stocks. thx

Hi Folks, first time poster here....really appreciate your input on the below: I wanna get into day trading stocks for small gains (scalping basically) and will get a margin account at tdameritrade. I dabbled in the stock market a while ago but held positions for years, not minutes!. This time...
