To further on Blotto's thoughts, go sign up with topsteptrader and follow their rules in the combine. It is 'forced' risk management. If you make it, then you receive a live $50,000 account. If you fail, then try and try again.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the crude oil market both fundamentally and technically. Can anyone please refer blogs, newsletters, news, and any other source of information that is helpful when trading crude oil? Also, are there any services that offer a live pit-based squawk service...

Newbie, as others have implied, $500 is simply too small to start with. If you're looking to get into the trading game quickly, I suggest you consider an aggressive call/bear put spread on some stock of your choice. If you can execute it and trade it properly, then you will have 4x the...

If you are an IB for Interactive Brokers, have access to the whole array of markets they offer, and interested in providing execution services then please send me a message via this board or e-mail to [my alias] at gmail dot com. I'm a trade signals provider and would like to offer my...

Lou -- what platform are you using that can test 5-years of tick data in less than 1-minute? Thanks much in advance. PS: Regarding OQ vs NT, I echo what others have already said -- NT has a much more active community of supporters.

you could also look into OpenQuant if you're just trying to build a sophisticated system from home. If you're doing CME-based products, look into hosting the server at Equinix. It'll cost a little money, but if you're trying to be competitive, then it's what you have to do.

To be competitive, you might have to build everything from the ground up. Some of the fastest HFT systems process, enter, and get the orders to the exchange in approximately 1/5th of a millisecond. 500 times faster than what you're trying to do. With Ninjatrader you can probably already...

DON, 1.) Are 100% of the losses are absorbed by your brother? 2.) Do you have to be a bright client to trade this? 3.) Is there any upfront cost to gain access? Thanks Don and pls let me know.

The original poster is looking for answers regarding successful trading methodologies. I made a suggestion for the OP to look one-step further than standard price patterns. Everyone is different, but in my personal experience, most successful traders that I have come across over the past...

That's sick.

Not to take this too far off-topic, but the key is to understand the basic concept of Brownian Motion. The underlying that 'perturbs' prices -- that are seemingly chaotic -- is volume and order flow. Understand this and you'll understand why prices do as they do. Don't believe me...

Very useful. It is true that volume drives prices, so it's possible to be a "pure" technical trader. I caution this with a thought for you to ponder upon: the largest volume activity in the markets is swayed by fundamental events. Take for example late 2008 -- it wasn't a bunch of...

Live market trading is an auction based process. Volume is driven towards areas of interest. As previously defined in this thread, "walls" of volume are generally touched because of trading interest. There are a couple institutional-level forensic trading broadcasts that follow...

Agreed with the previous poster. The planets (intermarket correlations in this case) must align to give a proper signal. Currently it'll be key to watch whether or not QM is forming a larger daily channel and if the higher prices in the EC will hold. The debt gets to the bottom of...

I'm not short, but am watching and waiting for an opportunity. Looks like Oil wants to break above its recent highs which could potentially shove the equity markets higher. I would caution against buying the immediate EuroCurrency breakout as I suspect it will fall back into its range...

Cramer may be a bit late on this. The dollar looks to be firming up and as a result Gold prices should start retreating. I suspect that many funds hedging against inflation may start tapering off their positions as this year unfolds. The bond markets should also provide a good...
