TradingView pulled way ahead of anything else I've seen online and at this point I'd rather use TradingView than my broker's (Interactive Brokers) ****-tastic TWS charts built into their platform. WAYYY cheaper than eSignal.. extendable with custom indicators and scripts via Pine Language.. has...

Yeah, I'm finding flat days to be the most tame in terms of P/L.. I do wish we had more volatility and volume these days. And yeah, the last 10 minutes are great, save for the last 25-30 seconds when snap reverses are common.

Anyone else only trading within the last hour or last 30 minutes of the day? I've been focusing on just hitting stocks during this time, and doing so with size as opposed to trading throughout the day with risk spread out in each trade. They say "armatures trade the open, professionals trade...

Ah.. maybe you ended up talking with a marketing/sales guy instead of their customer support. It happens. For the razor account, they are using liquidity and price feed from Integral's ECN grid. For tick level data, you can get this through Integral directly at their 'trader facing' site...

Unhelpful in what sense? I've actually found their customer service to be very knowledgeable and helpful. What did you need help with?

To be fair... there's so much slander in online reviews that even the best brokers look like crud. Failed traders want to take it out on their broker, or the broker's competition wants to cast doubt on them... making negative reviews abundant for all. (This is aside from fake positive...

Dukas, Oanda, Pepperstone... all three work well for scalping

Don't you already use Mirror Trader / System Selector? Just work with that service provider and plug in the strategies to their offering.. Or, are you looking to do something crafty, like make an EA that follows the signals and provide that EA through the newly crafted "app" store?
