update (with thanks to Hoi) http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53426&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73194&perpage=6&highlight=snapshot&pagenumber=1 I have gotten a bit more insight here. Could an IB representative...

could you elaborate? Price and volume are (in my eyes) logically the basis of every market move. with volume i mean of a trade, not in the DoM.

I also have a look at the ES coupled with its underlying sometimes. mostly to know market direction for equities in the short term. And the same for ZB but then coupled to FGBX (30y D-bond) so i can have a feel for the American and European/German yield curve. At the moment it's the market i...

Thanks for the reference, I'll check it out. I thought that the IB data feed did show all the trades but that it did not do this in real time but in snapshots. so that every few tenths of a second you get updated with the trade data since the last snapshot update. (Can someone correct me if...

true, but does this mean that your tape only gets updated in snapshots or that your tape only gets snapshots of all the trades?

maybe your my doppelgänger :) well we are apparently trying to do something similar. first I was trying to analyze the DoM but as several people, including cvds16, have noted, there is to much bluffing going on to make a judgment that is solely based on DoM reading. so now i am...

That excel DoM analysis tool, what kind of code is that?

I checked it out, and indeed i would like to do stuff that's in the same ballpark, but buttontrader already gives me similar functions as that excel spreadsheet you refer to (DoM analysis). but that's not what i want to see. on the other hand if i can create a buttontrader style tickchart it...

Thanks, I'm going to try that :)

i had a look at that already, but i didn't find any information about how to make a new page where the time and sales data gets updated automatically. it is possible to request historical data however, but that is not what i am looking for. do you know how to do this (or were to find the...

Hi, I'm trying to analyze time and sales data. more specifically, i want to visually represent this in a certain way (not the normal chart, but want to work with volume differences between ticks and trade on bid/ask/between). But first of all i need to be able to manipulate this data. this...

sounds like a very interesting and practical book. A complete trading system in a book, sounds to good to be true :) well if I could give you a suggestion, add some p&l numbers this system generates to the book (real time and backtested). then people can be sure off a low level of fluff...

what kind of book is it? basic tech analysis?

apparently i still don't get it:) what do you mean with maxed out? from what i've found on google. maxed out can refer to the software settings been put on their maximum. in particular many people seem to use it in reference to resolution. so yes, i will trade the crysis maxed-out.

i never buy something on credit if it is not an emergency. so no maxing out here.

He's the man! 250.000 rt a day :eek: . I have already read the articles about him from trader daily (monthly), but I'll be sure to check out info on ET about him. that flipping strategy does indeed make it difficult to read the DoM and combined with all the fake orders that are submitted i...

I was thinking about getting a Digital Tigers multi screen system. but they are pricey. http://www.digitaltigers.com/index.asp?bhcp=1 you bought one or built one?

I'm going to have to get some more screens :) currently running of a 12 inch laptop screen and a secondary 20 inch screen. that's not going to properly show 28 plus charts.

but what makes you a successful trader is that you feel right, you feel marketdirection. but where does this feeling originate, what 'signals' are you looking for. are these chart patterns, volume patterns, market sentiment based on news, correlated markets or certain technical indicators...

thank you for the reply's. they have been helpful.
