Charlie, I have been in the same position with CQG but about 15 years earlier, they have lost allot of business just because only one guy Brian Bell who was and employee and now an independent was the only guy who they would allow to have their API. As tradestation and other companies were...

Years ago I did an in depth study of data feeds for the emini and concluded that while all feeds seem fast. That in fact in a fast market TT can not be beat and is by far the best feed available. In spite of also pushing out all the data and not aggregating anything, they are amazing. It is...

I will say that I know first hand if you have a good strategy for volatility and you trade short options only. If you have enough capital it will help you to stay in the game long enough to make a profit if you keep enough reserves and don't over trade. For example if you only put to work...

Jedster, there is a trick to it if your going to replicate it. because you never know if the difference of the data is going to cause an inversion or not. you have to normalize all the data of both sides of the channel as well as the center synthetic data also. sent you some code pm, Mark

Re: The Stunning Price Cycle Calling The S&P 500 Tops & Bottoms On The Hourly Chart Honestly I think that is just a common Zig-Zag indicator which plots after the fact. That is how it looks so good - it has the benefit of hindsight. If it plotted in real time and placed those tops and...

your idea sounds good what about selling current month out of the money calls and puts - legging into them and then defending as necessary one side or the other. buying back losses and selling more premium stacked up. let's assume you had deep pockets this will work. at worst case you get...

Hello all, I will be in London May 23rd though June 3rd 2013 visiting some of the traders I have met online in the UK. My visit will be short but hopefully I will be spending more time in London in the future. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to meet up and let's see if the times and...

the below statement off the web site has to be the stupidest thing i have ever heard from a so called system vendor. duh. this translated simply means our testing isn't robust enough to withstand scrutiny by others and take into account slippage and commissions. where did you get your model...

OddBall System Hi, Just wondering what you think of OddBall Now that you have been tracking it. It is no Holy Grail but the price is right "FREE" and it is fully disclosed for anyone to use. I hope everyone can use it to some degree, maybe as a foundation to build upon.
