    Number of futures contracts traded per minute/hour/day etc

    Hi I would like to understand how many contracts are traded per 1/5/30/60 minute timeframe through to 1day for various futures contracts, namely DY, Z, YM, ES, CL, NQ. Is this data available via NinjaTrader? Or would I have to look it up on a website, perhaps at the relevant exchange? I hope...

    Spread betting at FXCM

    Hi I just checked GFT but they are not that great either unless I am not understanding something? On the GFT website it says 1 to 4 points spread for US30 http://www.gftuk.com/Range-of-Markets/Market-Information-Sheets/Spread-Betting/Stock-indices.aspx

    Spread betting at FXCM

    Hi Jason I am based in the UK. If I have Technical Support questions, is there an email address to which I can send the questions? Do FXCM have a UK support desk or do all queries go back to the US? Either way, please can I have the email address(es). Thanks

    Spread betting at FXCM

    Hi Jason Sorry if this question might appear rude, it is not meant to be. But I see the FXCM spread for DJIA is 4 points. Compared to the other well known spreadbetting firms (that generally offer a spread of 0.8 to 1.0 point), a 4 point spread seems a bit wide. Is it correct? I did see it...

    Becoming a member of CME/CBOT to trade Index Futures more cheaply

    Hi I read on the web that if you are a member of the exchange you qualify for lower RT commissions. Does anyone know the cost of membership to the exchange to enable YM to be traded more cheaply? And is this membership open to non-US residents? I am based on London, UK. At this stage I am...

    Newbie alert! I need a free charting package + Dow data please.

    If you mean the data from Livecharts, no I haven't ignored it. It is very useful. But I need a Charting program that I can install on a Laptop. I don't always have access to the Internet, i.e. Livecharts, and I want to test my strategy when I have some spare time. I did put that in my first...

    mike, thanks for the reply. Yes I also get 1min candles from the SB company. However what I am after is historical 1min candle data from the real DJIA that I can easily zoom in on and analyse. Thanks again.

    Thanks MACTrend, but I have no idea what your attached image means! I am a total novice! Thanks Mike. I have had a busy weekend researching. From what I can glean, the only way I can get the data I want, i.e. down to 1min candles, is to subscribe to a live price feed which is something I didn't...

    Hi Lightning McQueen I just had a look at http://www.metatrader4.com/. Not a huge amount of information on there. But maybe there doesn't need to be and am I just confused. Are you saying that I just download the program and all the Dow data just comes free with the Chart? So if I wanted to...
