Well after all the voting,,, Tallies are in. And it looks like 233 has been voted top choice! Apparently all other tick sizes were so despised, not a single vote was garnished for them.

For those using tick charts, whats your favorite size for WTI? I go back and forth depending on volume a given day. Brent on other hand I like 233 across the board.

Shit someone beat me

Yea they def my clearing. I needed to discuss margins a couple times with them (whereas tradestation tradedesk is ineffective). I feel like they just treat everyone that calls like a brat cause they realize there's no real requirements to sign up so majority of people are not serious...

I understand. And I do have CQGIC. Reasons for keeping Tradestation were that I've just grown to like and have programmed some fun charting designs, and its not costing me anything. The clearing for Tradestation is RJO, which is apparantly also a partner with CQG making any financial...

Thanks for the input. And yes, I like trading WTI/BRENT, and other crack spreads. The actual spread products exist on the ICE exchange for those spreads (for example as source symbol WBSBRNS0 in CQG) Even though I also pay for ICE through tradestation, I was just surprised I had no ability...

I find this odd. I pay for ICE through tradestation, but can't seem to find/get access to the energy spread products. How can it be that if I pay for ICE data I only get some? I went to CQG for good data on this, but i don't Daytrader. I swing trade just using primarily daily charts. I...

Does Europe have Currency futures like the US has the /6e and /dx? And if so, would I even be able to trade them? I'd like to compare/contrast volume, etc

i think 16 screens is good. I just put the same chart on all of them with big red alerts. This way there is no confusion as to which way the market is going :)

...until traveling into a tunnel ...getting stuck there with a 3hr traffic jam ...going into the after hours trading session ...while short /cl ...and without managing to get a stop order in place yet ... ........ haha

absolute necessity? no.. but i'm able to correlate items better. so it works for me :) If I didnt have access to cheap components and good knowledge of hardware I may not have taken this route.. Good synergies between my company and trading

all dell e2311h I got a bunch of DELL PC's for clients and most didnt need replacement monitors, so I just upgraded them for a few bucks and on they went! Otherwise woulda been $$$ Some day I'd like to get high end deals, but these work pretty well for now.

Not a bad idea. Would give better cooling than a window unit in same general location?

Use to have just a bunch of pci cards, now I upgraded to pci-e and stacked a board that had 5 slots to get 10 monitors on the one box. 8600gs by nvidia

ya. expensive enough and time consuming enough for sure! getting all those suckers on the studs AND actually getting the monitors to fit well together was not fun

You're not kiddin. I actually got the cpus liquid cooled with like a mini radiator. - yea, sounds super nerdy, but was a fun build. As for the monitors, to be honest i'm not sure. I have a fan in the office and 2 windows very close, but I can tell the heat is building on warm days. I'm...

thought you'd never ask :) Check this crap out! (still cleaning up the wires)

update! added another row for 15 total monitors at the main angle. (not showing the few others at various other points in the room). so yes,., i have gone mad! still powered by only 2 machines

thanks elindy. its the bush series A collection

I believe thats right. From what I understand they have an interesting mix between management and the drivers and laborers. The non-union guys also have to very precise to the union personnel on shift changes, meals, etc. I'm not anti-union but if I operated my company with a full union...
