I know Iqfeed, Esignal and IB use to not send it all, don't know how they are now as I get CME and CQG
I've always been amazed at the people who will commit vast effort and hundreds of hours to data analysis - but they insist on using cheap or preferably free data. Boggles the mind. For those of you following at home who don't have Tier 1 charting platforms: there's a very good reason why MatLab offers a toolbox extension for the Bloomberg data feed. Even if you're selling cars or tending bar - spend a very nominal sum for good, clean, quality data directly from CME. https://www.cmegroup.com/market-data.html
I don't care what anybody says...DTN IQFeed delivers quality data. Friday post 3 pm was a perfect example.....the ES/NQ futures market was moving at the speed of light.... there were violent reversals on big volume.....and it did not miss a beat.
I am not against scalping but I always find it difficult as there is too much risk in trading on the shorter term. I think trading requires planning and a good plan is that which makes you able to stay on the market for a long time. Do you agree with me?
I recently found out that a guy name J.M. Hurst originated this kind of thing back in the 1970's. The charts I'm using now look more like the one above than the ones I posted a year ago...
