Twice today I have put in orders at a price that shows 400 or so ES cts are in front of me. After well more than 500 trade at that price, I am...
No one offers more than 5 levels. Most execution platforms include it in the package. IB is free.
I'm pretty sure those were NQ points unless he switched over, so that makes a bit of a difference. I made 3.5 ES and was happy with it. Jay
They are charging you for depth of market? Geez!
Its not free, but the best commodity data by far is CSI. Its the cleanest, and the data goes back 20+ years. You also have a choice of how to...
I never fail to swear when I do something stupid. Its Pavlovian. Good thing I don't have a family about. During my Bright days, I had to...
I traded the Scorpion method for awhile. I think it works better for longer term trades though. Intra day average true range changes too...
I tend to swear a lot.
Yes. Sort of. I used to work there. They make money from commissions, which are pretty low, AND a desk fee which is expensive unless you do decent...
The defrag worked. Its a new PC, so I wasn't worried about the drive too much. Oops, market just opened. Gotta run. Jay

Another one for you tech wizards. My hard drive has been crunching away like crazy lately, but I'm using less than 10% on CPU usage most of the...
Now that was a choppy day! (Thursday). I got chewed up good. If we go to war, markets are going ballistic. Way too much pent up demand,...
Playing with a simulator almost always gives new traders the God complex: "why can't these idiots figure it out" I will make millions at this....
Keep posting ideas Ditch. Some of us here appreciate it. PM me if you are interested in my technique, which is similar to yours. I trade full...
Just another guy who thinks paper trading is worthless, if not downright destructive. The psych factor is 90% of the game. Trade small to...
I only find them helpful for identifying the trend (if it isn't already obvious). I have never been able to make money daytrading by chasing...
You can get absolutely slaughtered on open outcry fills. If you are doing size, and not day trading, the full contract saves on commission. The...
