hi, it might be the best thing to use the quotes your broker or mm executes you on...those should be the one and only quotes for you...:)

50cent, oh...i do not have an account with IB in the moment, but that would be a nice perspective...looking forward to it...

50cent, as far as i know, you can trade currencies with IB...they just dont offer any leverage...:)

yes, they sold. but they bought it back at 4500... :D

lets turn it the other way...what do you need to trade ? a low risk entry point with risk related to your individual money managment design and timeframe to trade on. where do get it from ? a framework. what kind of framework ? doesnt matter, could be TA, FA, indicators, pattern... lets take...

i have an account with IB. is direct order routing for stocks like DIA, QQQ, SPY better than smart order routing ? and if so, what exchange has the best volume/prices/lowest slippage ? is it better to take limit order ? recently i had 30-40cent slippage on SPY with a market order over...

ESTX50 is just smaller, so it is easier for smaller trader to apply risk + mm on this future than on the FDAX...to trade 1 contract FDAX with sound risk, you need an account between 30000 - 50000 EUROs

for the FDAX, take a look on trading with pivot points, for scalping you better get an EUREX-terminal, the underlying index has only 30 securities ! and 5 of them are making nearly 50% of the index weight, so you better know what they look like. FESX50 is the better choice for...

hey niha, i just scanned trough the old huios-journal to find your post regarding the 3min candle entry technic...that was great advice. why do so many eminis trader fail ? do the really fail ? i would rather call this to quit, to give up, to turn their back on this thing after trying it...

hey huios, im a bit late, i know, but i wish you all the best. i liked your journal, although i did not participated much in the last weeks. i found at last it has all been said and done, so... :) trading

@tampa, im going back to european markets, cause - against my expectation - im able to trade during my working hours...so i say byebye to the e-minis... :) trading

i tested it on the NQ some time ago and it worked ok. but at that time i droppd it , bacuase i was trying to get into a scalp method...i came back to it again by now, mostly because i like the idea of entering via a buy/sell stop order...this kind of predetermined entry can be helpful just to...

thats right. there is another enter method presented by linda raschke, it is operating with a 6 P-SMA, its called the "SMA enter trick". in an uptrend, when price pulls back, you put a buy stop order at the level of the low of the first bar, hat close under the SMA. when the price move towards...

the EUREX bund future (bond future) is very liquid, 800000 c/day and nice for those who like to trade with multiple contracts and "scale in/scale out", cause 1 tick is only 10EUR...but it has a lot of days, where not much is hapening... :) trading

i also mentioned this setup and was trying to trade it, cause it looks so strong if you search "high probability" setup, but, after all, i found that the opportunity factor of this setup in the ES is not that great... by the way, i guess, the 3-point stop came from a time, when the SP was around...

dont get me wrong, but that was not my subject. your points are interesting, but for me you ere talking about perception. i wanted to point to the theme of individual subconscious settings, which are rarely know in full, but might dictate a lot of individual behavior or better non-behavior and...

first part i agree...that makes the taste of trading...taste like...honey ? second...?...sounds like you are talking about money managment/position sizing. the options here are: 1) all in, all out; 2) all in, scale out; 3) scale in, scale out; 4) scale in, all out. mr. van tharp is...

@profitseeker, did i tell you about my project with colours already ? no ? ok, you know, on the one hand you can have a chart with a background in white and the upcandle in green, downcandle in red...pretty ugly i would say, aggressive contrast, not very supportive imo...im talking about the...

@esu2 you are right, im trading NQ, therefore 3hrs on the 1min seemed a bit rare to me... :)
