Hi Bathrobe. Thanks for your comments. I think I will go with Market Delta (if the footprint offers nothing superior for me, then I can always switch to IRT). I am trialling it at the moment and it is just taking me ages to understand and get used to all the different settings menus in IRT...

Hey Gold Standard. Do you know where there is a forum for Investor RT specific questions / discussion? I.e. if I want guidance on some custom code I am developing, or on what the best settings are for a certain part of the software? Thanks Papa.

Thanks Goldstandard. I didn't realise they were one and the same. I'll take a look. Thank you again for your help and advice.

Hi all, I am looking for a recommendation of software for Market / Volume Profiling (including composites), as well as order flow indicators to see the aggressiveness of buyers and so on. I currently have found 2 from my research. CQG - Has Market & Volume profile tools, and a 'Trade...

thanks everyone. I will have a look into your suggestions.

Thanks guys, I execute direct through the exchange platform (webICE) and use TT xTrader for Nymex and inter exchange stuff. I am basically just after a fast, high quality, reliable data source (to use with a charting package that doesn't have it's own data). Does anyone have anything...

Hi, I mean historical and live chart data feeds. I'm not sure Platts do this? I was thinking more on the lines of DTN.IQ or eSignal etc. I just wondered if there were any data feeds that people could recommend as being particularly reliable for CME Nymex and ICE Futures Europe...

Hi 2Rosy, Thanks for your reply. Is that for both Globex & ICE Europe?

Hi, I currently use CQG as a charting package, but have been disappointed with the quality and accuracy of their energy data; particularly when it comes to contract volume data. I am potentially looking to switch to a new charting package, but appreciate that some don't have their own...

Hey. Try looking at June Dec Gasoil vs June Dec Brent. i.e. the June Dec Crack box. or perhaps the Dec12/Dec13 crack box. For no other reason than they are actively traded spreads. A June Oct crack box may not be as liquid.... Might be something that takes your fancy....

Yes. Exactly. I was getting confused. It’s because last weeks data on a continuation chart is part made up of May, and part made up of April? and so the weekly chart forms a mix of the two datas and pivots are calculated from that. Sorry was being stupid. Got it now. I think my rather...

Hi there. Thanks for the reply. But even after the chart is merged, unless you are equalising closes (which I'm not), then last week will be 'April', yesterday will be April, Today will be May, and going forward will be May? p.s. the pivot points aren't a standard tool in the package I am...

Hi all, I am programming my trading / charting system to plot pivot points. However, I am not sure what to do on rollover day / week? When April Rolls into May on a continuation chart, do you think I should be plotting: Daily pivots using yesterdays April candle or yesterdays May...

Thanks Bone.

Hi All, I'm in the process of reviewing our charting software. Currently I use CQG, but have found recently there have been network buffering issues when the oil prices spike. To be fair this may be an issue my end and I am working with them to resolve. However, it made me think about...

Hi. You are right, WTI is supposed to be at a premium, but it's because of the build up of inventory of land locked WTI at the Cushing delivery point.

Well the broker would have to discuss the order with the client and the potential liquidity issues and slippage. No retail client would have an order of that size, so an institutional client would know the potential problems of executing such an order anyway. Your questions regarding...

I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps they sold TAS and then used ultra high frequency trading strategy to push the market up in the minutes preceeding the Settlement by jumping quickly infront of any orders thus making other people also chase up the market to get their orders done. They then bank a...

Sure, no problem. I doubt very much that that order would get filled via TAS method. That would obviously be the safest way with smaller sized orders, even if you had to pay TAS+2 etc. If you give it to brokers on a not held basis, they may try and beat settlement for you by judging the...

Hi Losemind. Do you really mean 100,000 lots? i.e. 100,000,000bbls!? or do you mean 100k bbls, i.e. 100 lots? As I look at it now Nymex crude has traded 190,500 lots so far all day. 100,000 lots is a HUGE settlement order. The things you speak of are indeed illegal. Am I right in...
