Same with multicharts.....intrabar calcs (every tick) require massive CPU processing.

That or overtrading or all three. Overtrading is trading too much and or to much size. And the average house value is about $250,000, depending on where you live. If someone told a REALTOR, mr or Miss Realtor, I understand RE can be profitable,so why don't I buy 4 rental homes today?? If she had any kind of ethics @ all + some do; she may say WOW I never helped anyone buy 4 houses in one day; even though plenty of homes/properties sell for >> $1,000,000

By the way if this makes no sense, keep trading 4 contracts, bit don't try this @ home LOL ; it will eventually dawn on you why almost no one buys 4 houses @ one time.

Look Murray, since I'm scalping for 1-3 points, holding 4 ES contracts is not a big deal if there are stops in place....which in my case is true. I never go stop-less.....tried that once and lost 4 figures in one day.
Now holding 4 NQ contracts is quite different.....I've had my butt kicked in that market. 2 contracts max for NQ.

OK Its easy to misunderstand some one. ALSO I did not mean for my comment on SPY being up over 17.777 % YTD[old news]-to be bearish. Even though i figured some bears may think that.LOL-LOL . SPY is still not over 50 dma , but QQQ is doing better. NOT a prediction, not much of a news or Dow watcher.

Well then, the market will move based on the politics of the next vote ?
