Is there software that lets me screen for 1 second charts?

  1. There might not be a screener robust enough for sale I dunno. It would just make life a lot easier for me if there is one lol. I would filter it with 1 minute calculations first thus narrowing the symbols, meaning way less calculations needed.

    "...
    No they were overwhelmed by the stock’s volume. TSLA has had numerous days like this all year, but there’s more frequent smaller moves. I think the most I’ve had this year is less than $2.5 million in positions at one time. I usually don’t even use $1 million in a day. There’s 40 traders at my firm. Capital isn’t an issue. I’ve only done one swing trade this year so I don’t hold very long..."

    Do you trade OPM (Other People's Money), or your own?

  4. I trade the money of my two bosses. I’m not on salary, just a 50-50 profit split. I have a risk bank, but never put up initial capital. We don’t have outside clients. However, I don’t get paid if I don’t make money (no salary) and could potentially lose my risk bank.

    So you trade OPM. Thank you for answering the question, albeit in an unwieldy way.

    And why are folks having problem with the quote function lately? I did not type what you are quoting? Maybe @Baron is finally implementing those site upgrades, but running into snaggy bits?

    (You're the second person to have a weird quote issue. So it is not you, methinks)

  6. I didn’t know what you meant by it. Not sure why that’s relevant to anything though.

    What I mean by it is...If you are trading OPM, and have millions of dollars of OPM to trade with, why don't you ask around to the people (or firm) who gave you that millions of money to trade with, where you might find a trading platform that can show 1-sec resolution screens?

    40 people at your firm, and nobody there can give you an answer?

  9. By screens I meant screeners. I was using screens as a verb in my initial post. Sorry for the confusion. I have 1 second charts with Esignal, but the screener can only scan down to one minute. We use Sterling and DAS as trading execution platforms. No good scanners on them.

    Yeah, I get it. Stock screeners. I don't do stocks, but I get the idea of a screener. You have 40 people at your firm. Between the 40 of you, none of you can find a platform that can have 1-second resolution screeners? Odd.

    ET must be a fount of hidden knowledge then. This is good. @vanzandt Yer up, this is stock territory, your sandbox. :)

    Oh, and that @stonedinvestor too. Damn, he has been bowling me over. The two of you are a dynamo lately. Damn!
