    NinjaTrader Introduces Brokerage Services - $3.38 per round turn "all in"

    How have been your experiences with Ninjabrokerage so far? I have sent an email to brokeragesupport@ninjatrader.com about 2 weeks ago and never got a reply (checked my spam too). It was a simple question about their data feeds which has now been answered through a forum post. But it shows me...

    NinjaTrader Introduces Brokerage Services - $3.38 per round turn "all in"

    Hi Ray, what about the data providers? I have heard after July 15th NinjaTrader will be only available with Continuum. What about clients of other brokerages who use TT or Rithmic? Btw, the link to Rithmic as a NinjaTrader partner is no longer available...

    Support and Resistance zones are overrated

    Let me just clarify some points: If you look at charts and trade discretionarily you will always look for patterns and explanations for price action and therefore you will also see support and resistance in the market. That is neither good nor bad. The important question here is: Are your...

    Support and Resistance zones are overrated

    I don't think it is a matter of definition. It is about having an edge in the market. And if there is only randomness you have no edge. Here's an interesting link to a game where you can test your ability to tell random from real data...

    Support and Resistance zones are overrated

    I don't think his point is irrelevant. He is not saying that it makes no sense to use S/R levels but not to overrate it because most S/R levels are as good or bad as randomly drawn lines on a chart. The more prominent a S/R area is the more relevant it might be because a lot of traders (or...

    Support and Resistance zones are overrated

    Adam Grimes is not a mechanical trader but discretionary. He uses TA and has written a very interesting book about his approach

    Support and Resistance zones are overrated

    I am trading intraday various kinds of pullback moves after price action has shown momentum. My experience (at least regarding futures) has been that it is quite more important to adapt your stop-loss and your targets to the volatility regime of your time-frame than to observe support and...

    So nobody must have a future account. If the FCM fails your money is gone

    Guys, CFTC required them to send it - basically nothing has changed. Your money has never been insured by a FCM (exception is Interactive Brokers which is not a pure FCM) and it is in a segregated account but not segregated from other customers accounts - only segregated from the broker's...

    Alarm bell rangs with the recent "new risk disclosure" agreement. Urgent!!!

    Guys, CFTC required them to send it - basically nothing has changed. Your money has never been insured by a FCM (exception is Interactive Brokers which is not a pure FCM) and it is in a segregated account but not segregated from other customers accounts - only segregated from the broker's...

    Getting out of trades too early

    Great post, thanks for sharing, NoDoji. What I like to add is reframing as a way to escape this compulsive behaviour of taking profits too early (often due to loss aversion). After I have entered a trade I see only the potential loss which I like to avoid by trying to take control over...

    Zen-Fire does not work for EUREX

    Today the Zenfire data was interrupted 3 times for several hours. I hope this datafeed becomes not as unreliable as TT Fix is for Eurex data. Has anyone experiences with CQG and Ninja or IRT?

    Zen-Fire does not work for EUREX

    Zen-fire has again an issue with Eurex data. It has been disconnected today several times. CME works. Anyone else trading Eurex instruments with the Zen-fire data feed? How is your experience?

    Globalfutures, Advantagefutures or Velocityfutures ?

    Cazza, you are right, but the protection is not as good as the insurance IB offers: http://www.cftc.gov/industryoversight/intermediaries/fcmsegregationfunds.html "Customer funds in segregation have a bankruptcy preference in the event of FCM insolvency." And there are black swans even if you...
