  2. Boomer, the DOM is the Depth of Market screen which shows the five best Bids and Asks along with Size at each level (10-levels total). You can click on any level to place an order. It's just a very quick way to visually see the market; and enter orders. I can post a screen shot for you later on tonight.

    This is a trading journal, not a discussion of a company named Open E Cry. Such a discussion should take place in the Retail Firms forum, and if you want more information simply Google the site or PM Fast_Trader. Thanks.

  4. Boomer, I did not use the new scalping technique today since my charts on eSignal are not setup for it yet. I will try to set up the charts over the weekend and might use this technique with 1 ES next week.

  8. I was wondering.....would a grand total of the depth say at the bottom of each side be helpful. Would that extra calculation slow down such a platform written in C++?

  9. I think it might be helpful since it would show how much cumulative size was sitting on both sides. I don't think it would slow it down at all. I'm making a wish list for enhancements I'd like to see in the next release of this platform. Good thing about OEC is, I can call up and talk to the person who built the platform and discuss some ideas :)
