I will be starting my (day) trading career 2nd week in Aug, working from home. How can I join the London Traders Group? cheers,

Whats your view of Ninja rossored? - I saw a demo of it yesterday for trading futures via IB and was mightly impressed! do you use the multiple mkts version or single? Is it very stable? - any probs with API losing connection or anything? Do you use strategies, etc on ninja? cheers.

Do any of you guys use/have experience Ninjatrader connected to IB..or is that another thread? cheers,

Cheers Martin1973 - do you use trendsignal? (Real time or eod)? If so, how have you been getting on with it? cheers again.
