Alternatively we can look into other markets, e.g. CL, GC, ZN/ZB or euro, although I don't know what the liquidity situation is in those markets....
Don't worry about it too much. Like us, all the big boys also have to make money, and they don't make money unless they trade. It will all come...
Have the large traders abandoned the ES? What's going on?
Does anybody know if futures exchanges like CME report all transactions immediately, or if some are reported with a delay, or if some are not...
Has it occurred to anybody yet that perhaps not everyone needs to be glued to a screen 24x7 to be a profitable trader? Shock horror, I also...
DCraig Thank you. Exactly the sort of info i was after. You have made a strong case for Java and having looked at the site I can see why....
What a bunch of time wasters.
With all due respect guys, I don't need your opinions on whether I should write my own software or not. I can decide that for myself. That's...

Forgot to add: if there is no such broker and I have to stay with IB, what are my options for a reliable charting software that doesn't drop ticks...
I am considering a move away from eSignal after a good few years. I am currently executing through IB. I have read consistently good reviews...
Thanks for that link. So, IB (the broker) is an introducing broker and a clearing FCM rolled into one, would that be a correct statement?...
I use IB as my broker and that's the only broker I have ever known. As a result I seem to have glossed over some of the mechanics of how the whole...

Sadly, that's true with all trading forums. I visit Trade2win regularly, it's completely overrun by idiots and snake oil salesmen. Charging a...
