Yes the course is legit and is actually really good start to a pro direct access full time approach. I did it a few years ago and it really was a door to fixed income trading and I still remember what I learnt. There is a guy around who did the course and ended up at a top hedge fund in the...

Yes I did it a couple of years ago. Great course, it offers something totally different from forecasting and predicting markets. More like watch other traders, when they start acting stupid get ready to make money. For 3 months we weren't allowed to even use charts, seemed messed up at the time...

Thanks for the reply Mr Gecko Do you think that granular information would better highlight and present statistical anomalies if displayed graphically?

I am new to trading although not new to the markets. I am just starting to trade liquid bond futures markets. Has anyone come across any order entry system that displays real time trade volume as it happens in 3d. On-line time and sales effectively, but displayed using colours and shapes to...

Looking through this excellent and most informative site (trade2win) about volume visualisation software and have found that there seems to be a massive school of traders who use real time volume analysis and gauge sentiment resistance support by watching the behaviour of volume. This is the...
