    CORRELATION EminiS&P-Russel2000

    None that you can take to the Bank. Followed them both for years.

    Anyone else think Elliot Wave is a bunch of hooey?

    I have found that EW is as valid as most of the other ways to trade stocks in the 60 minute and up time frame. EW counts can change too much with lower time frames and you get whipsawed too much. But then there are many other TA methods that will whipsaw you also in low time frames. EW is...

    They have all data and computers to do this.

    Frequency of updates (TICK, spx, indu, trin)

    Scott check it out for yourself. Run eSignal NY Tick ($TICK) side by side with RealTick. You will see that there is a real big difference in performance.

    Frequency of updates (TICK, spx, indu, trin)

    RealTick does not have the delay that eSignal has. I have found eSignal NY Tick and sectors to update up to 60 seconds after RealTick even though eSignal spec it faster. This is the only downside to eSignal for me as I use the sectors and Tick (NY & NAS) to trade ES and NQ. To compare one...

    Support and resistance Question...

    When using S&R's it is best to use levels from Daily, Weekly and Monthly. As well as MA's of the Daily and Fibs. Areas of key S & R are where these tend to bunch up. For example Yesterdays low is the same as last weeks low and a low 2 months ago. Also this is the level of the 50DEMA. This...

    How's IB on shorts?

    The only problem I have with IB and Shorting is that when you enter a stock symbol the system does not automatically check for Short supply and dispay it on the screen like other brokers do. I don't think in this computer age we should have to find the list and then check to see if the symbol...

    TWS and Esignal failed me today...

    I use the plugin for the initial entry only. When an alert fires I need to move fast most of the time. After I am in the stock I find that management is best done with TWS direct.

    Metastock RT with IB or Cybertrader?

    I have been using Metastock for EOD and have been wondering if their realtime version has broker integration with IB or Cybertrader? I do not see anything on their web site on this. Is anybody using Metastock with IB or Cybertrader integrated and if so how does it perform?

    Attn: QCharts Users

    I would like to know where Mike Condra is working now. He is great and will be an asset to the company that hired him. I am always looking at platforms because I have never found one that is a perfect fit for me. If I knew who was smart enough to pick up Mike I would give them a second review.

    RealTick & IB

    "What are the RealTick features that you most frequently use and IB does not offer?" How about charting. LOL On a more serious note I like RealTick charting and their NYSE Tick and Sector data is not delayed like eSignal's. I have used IB as a broker for 3 years and have not had any...

    RealTick & IB

    Is there a way to intergrate IB into RealTick for placing orders with some kind of broker plugin? Looking into the broker partners with RealTick it seems like they all want an arm and a leg to make a trade.

    What Would Jesus Trade?

    Matt 25:15-18 To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. So also, the one with the two...

    Best Charting Software

    eSignal is a good platform however if you use the NYSE Tick and Sectors for your trading they lag on eSignal. eSignal spec's them at a 15 second delay but if you run Real Tick side by side with eSignal you will find that the delay is about 30 seconds. This may or may not affect your trading.

    The Perfect Platform...Is There One ???

    However, eSignal is not the perfect platform. They do not even have data on float, block volume, relative volume or put call ratio, Just to name to very basic stuff.

    The Perfect Platform...Is There One ???

    eSignal is very solid for me. I have had it crash but that was about a year ago. The problem was in my layout or a chart that I had been using. Rather than try to figure out which it was I just uninstalled eSig, reloaded and set up new layouts and chart. Have not had a problem since.
