--- so long as you have a disciplined trading plan! I know I've made some trades that I wouldn't have made a month ago, but just lucked out.

I've been at this for a lot longer than 4 years. The combination of sometimes making the same mistakes over again, the lack of a viable short term trading plan, and lack of substantial $ trading resources has meant a s-l-o-w bleed. However, I have definitely figured out that I can make a steady...

I trade based on technicals - even though I see what I'm looking for, that often changes 2 minutes after I've entered the trade in the first 30 minutes. What I'm realizing is that once the dust settles and people have a chance to reflect on what's happened during the first hour or two, the...

I find that in hindsight, entering in the first 30 minutes (9:30 - 10 am) makes for the best gains, IF I can get the market direction right. More often than not, I get whipsawed in those violent market moves, even though I often trade pairs. If I wait and enter in the direction of the...

I've been trading with IB and TWS for several years, but because my trading strategy involves hedging with multiple futures contracts, I am considering a broker with $500 day margins for futures. I really like TWS, and don't need any complex capabilities in a platform. Just the ability to...

Thanks! I do trade through IB, but hadn't bothered to check out their charts since I've been using QCharts.

I subscribe to QCharts, and version 5.x had intraday options charting that unfortunately went away with QCharts 6.x. Does anyone offer intraday options charts?

Because my trading strategy for ES and YM always involves hedging, my profits and losses usually tend to be very small, unless I ignore my own rules (and then I take a big hit). Those $500 margins at Global Futures would help to increase my trade size with the trading capital that I have...

I'm using Qcharts 5.0, but am not getting any quotes for CME emini (ES, NQ) futures, it's about 8:30 pm PST. Is anyone having this problem?

Does one have to pay extra to get quotes for TF? Right now I'm subscribing to the CME emini package @ $30/month, but with ER2/MR moving to ICE, will I have to pay another $60 to get quotes for TF?

Although I understand that any trading software has to be updated/improved, I'd like to see IB restrict TWS updates to once/quarter.

Was able to log in. BUT no data, maybe soon? Can someone from Qcharts give us an update?

Down here in Silicon Valley as well.:mad: I hope eSignal realizes that this means $$$$$$$$$$ lost for thousands of traders who pay good money for Qcharts.

bump...surely there is Qcharts subscriber that trades the YM.

I trade the mini-Dow and am showing very low volume for YM08H. My understanding is that YM moved to the CME. Is there another symbol for the CME mini-Dow that will show the correct volume on Qcharts?

Whatever the cause of this problem, it's burning a new hole in my wallet every time I can't make a trade. SF Bay Area.

OK, I know this problem has been mentioned in another thread, but I decided to start one focused on this issue. When I get the pink background, TWS makes repeated attempts to login without success. So I close the TWS window, and when I attempt to launch it again, there seems to be a newer...

Chuck, It's good to know that the "upgrade" to QCharts is for improving speed of data and quality, and not for subtracting any existing features, or making disruptive changes. Trading is hard work and my only source of income, and I sure wouldn't like anyone trying to "fix" the tools...
