i used NT before as i had a hacked copy that was multi licence.. think they solved that problem now it is the customizable buttons i want..and maybe a few other features i don't know about yet? it also has to be free
btw.. don't ever limit yourself with screen space.. you can get QHD monitors cheap on ebay..my next is 4k..will get as soon as right deal pops up
Why free...? Surely a holder of the Obvious can afford a license? You could pay for a lifetime license with less than 50% of your profits on that prior trade. Besides, your commissions will be better, too. Check them out. How's AMP/IB comparatively? I think NT Brokerage are among the best for retail traders. As for customizable, not sure how customizable NT is out of the box, but 'everything' can be programmed if you have or hire someone to help you.
I have a 49" inch high resolution Dell which pretty much fulfill my needs. I used to have a DOM at the right edge of my screen which I could afford, but as I didn't use it that much, I just dropped it. I'm considering a second screen for some additional stuff. I don't NEED it, but it would make my life easier. On the other hand, I'm doing what I can to avoid being locked down at a single location and buying more screens wouldn't help the matter. PS: Here's the chart and chart trader I use for trading. I just placed some simulator orders for illustrative purposes as I'm done for the day anyway. Actually, if Ninjatrader would integrate a DOM below the chart trader interface it would be perfect.
i don't like paying for anything unless i really have to..hold on to the money i make.. remember anyway..my desired income from trading does not warrant paying out anything but fees.. although NT are not bad for the micros..AMP is 0.78 per round trip..and IB is 0.98..plus IB are the cheapest for The Smalls as they have invested a few $mil in the exchange..and i want access to the smalls.. IB TWS is the best i have tried so far for order entry..but their charts are pure crap..so will probably go with IB..using MT5 for charting as shown.. i can link MT5 to IB..so once the order is placed with MT5..i can then switch to the IB rapid order entry..as the majority of rapid orders will be exits and reversals.. anyway..no hurry..fun times ahead
i looked at various volume and range bars before..so what is the perceived advantage of this setup ? btw..what is the resolution of the 49"..if it is 1920 x 1080 then it's too low..you need at least 2560 x 1440 i think..the higher the better for more space on one screen!
@Laissez Faire Have you tried setting the DOM window to "Always On Top"? This would effectively be the same as integrating DOM with Chart Trader. There's many different ways to set any Window to always on top, take a look at some of the recommendations here https://superuser.com/questions/992...ation-always-on-top-without-keyboard-shortcut
many years ago i used Quotetracker..i must download the new Medved software and have a look..if i remember correctly he has good tick charts!
To be honest - I'm not sure if there is an advantage. I know someone who seems to know what he's talking about speak warmly about range bars, but they never spoke to me, so I dropped them. The volume chart is just essentially a faster chart (usually) than the 1-minute. Gives some granularity. But if that's even needed I'm not quite sure. 5120 x 1440 I could squeeze my charts a bit more together I suppose, but I've grown fond of having large charts.
