    Datafeed for Python

    R with a C++ plug in? Or Matlab with similar?

    Why the big gap?

    In reality the interbank market re-opens Sunday eve UK time in a limited sense (NZ open). In the old days it would literally be banks in NZ quoting, so if you ever hear reference to `Welly open` it means Wellington. But most electronic markets outside interbank circles use 5pm ET as their start...

    T2W Members' Choice Awards 2010 - Vote Now! Win an iPad

    T2W version reads 'Vote eventually, and once' (no need to vote early - not sure it's closed on time all that often in the years I've been a member - usually seems to spill into Jan / Feb as far as I can tell. Anyway, I did the deed like a good corporate citizen.

    Bloomberg Terminal

    Then try and get a trial subscruption. But I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. Two reasons; i) Firms serious about hiring you as a trainee will arrange training for you ii) Sitting in front of a Bloomberg on your own trying to use the thing will teach you the square root of f**K all about...

    Bloomberg forex trading

    It's actually not really anything to do with that actually. Bloomberg will more than happily take your money for a terminal every month. It's their business model. But the FX trading part is basically for banks and financial institutions as it's run on bilateral credit. But the earlier question...

    Proving that Fibonacci retracements have an edge...

    No TA will ever trump fundamentals or context / positioning. All it is really is a peg to hang your timing / risk management hat on. So as long as you remember that, and ignore all timeframes sub 1h unless you have a thing about trading noise and calling it something else then you'll be fine...

    The Good the Bad & the Ugly - who are they?

    I posted a suggestion, when the rep system was abolished, to have a 'followers' system. I genuinely thought I had covered all the angles the way I was proposing it was set up. I guess it was just a bit too much of a hassle architecture wise for the T2W powers that be (not a criticism as such -...

    Should I take $50k and backpack around the world?

    80 Lays? Roger your way round the globe? Oh, wait, someone's telling me it's been done. Pity...... Ok - 80 Jays - you have to find something interesting or noteworthy beginning with the letter 'J' (could have picked K I suppose), be it a person, a place, an activity etc. Now THAT might make a...

    Trade Like Large Financial Institutions (banks, hedgefunds e.t.c)

    I like the fact that this person seems to think the whole world is composed entirely of prop traders amd ex prop traders. Nice. Who does he think makes the prices he trades on. But you're right - not gonna rise to it. Just sometimes scammers get on my nerves. Depends what mood I'm in.

    What time does your chart's day close?

    Actually if you reall do want to persist with candles I'd also advise doing one more thing (if you haven't) and that's read Nison's seminal work 'Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques' (Yeah, I know, catchy title). If you've read it, maybe re-read. Nison was basically the guy who brought...

    What report you buffoon? What part of 'that's not what I do' didn't you get?

    I just played something on it and it worked fine.

    Trade Like Large Financial Institutions (banks, hedgefunds e.t.c)

    Unfortunately ECN, what you fail to realise is that there is no equivalent 'real time live statement' because I am not a prop trader these days. However, even if I were, that's not the sort of p*ssing contest I would choose to engage in, with you. My objections to this thread are simple, and...
