Maybe I'll take it with full refund privileges for 90 days.

I did, and as soon as I changed to 144 ticks, they seemed remarkably similar (his were delayed about a second, since they were coming from his hotComm room).

You've got a point there. Thanks. However, I would only take his offer for $99.99 max.

Thanks for the answer. But if I am usually able to see executions one by one on an Time and Sales window (on my NT), where is the bundling done? Is it perhaps that the CME sends data at a given interval (say, 1/10th second) and that much becomes a "bundle", whether it's 0 or 1 or even 300...

Nice (but useless) exercise of power laws. You might be able to impress a few.

I mean, who does the "throttiling" or "bundling", my software or my data provider?

I'd appreciate an answer on this. :D

What do you mean by "bundling"? Is it what is otherwise called "throttling"? Isn't your software the one in charge of apportioning the raw data the data provider sends? In other words, if I select a 1-minute chart, is it my software the one that separates the trades in 1-minute steps, or is it...

There is at least one false statment among these, namely, that the "atom bomb" (whatever that is) has exactly 144 neutron particles. No element of the Periodic Table has 144 neutrons. As for the rest, I'll take them as false. However, this one is not false: I have exactly 144 hairs showing...

Bullseyetrader. (Bullshittrader, rather.)

I for one, won't be one of those suckers who bite. I actually sent him a yawn from my hotComm, something he didn't seem to like much. But so, for many of you who don't think much of anyone's selling a method (or software), what's the way to riches? I mean, do you go by time and price (and...

That makes sense. But what is the *purported* benefit of using such charts?

Not to mention that next week he's going to scale up the price another thousand, and so on. The system apparently works (I followed it real-time for a couple of hours during the session) and it seems to base its entries on pivots. But I would never buy into such a blunt sales tactic...

Hi, Today I asked the host at a webinar why he uses 144 tick charts, and he bluntly replied he'd tell me when I bought his software (a $5000 piece). I've been googling around and I see many use it, but I still haven't found out what's the magic in this number (why not 140 or 150, for...

I don't know you. I doubt it, somehow. What I'm trying to understand here is the spirit of the measure. And why every broker enforces such an evident -at least for me- nonsense.

Why would it be good to interfere with cash movement? As long as figures square out, why should be there a time restraint at all?

Since settlement is something I don't really understand in the context of trading, would anyone care and try explain it to me? What is its purported utility?

Anyone with a pulse can trade futures. And get wiped out in no time...:p . Best thing to do is use the simulator till you're constantly profitable. The thing with futes is that if you do well you are done for the day even before the opening bell rings. This is something that poked my greed...

I do (well, I used to before blowing up my account :D) trade futures and one thing I like is precisely the immediate settlement. On the other hand I find it awkward with futures that you get different commissions from the same broker depending on what software or connection you use, the need for...

I've always been confused with settlements or forget about them altogether. Is it as if something physical would have to take place in order for your trade to settle. As if a coin would take three days to reach the bottom of your piggibank. Ridiculous. But as Wall Steet is king, others take...
