IMHO, you want a feed that has the least amount of conflict of interest. Esignal is one of those feeds. They are not a broker. Their job is to report price on your screen. An ECN feed is the only way to go. Bucket shops filter the feed from the ...

As for the poll, Which time frame is best? Where's none of the above and all of the above?

Scalping Verdict

Interesting how that quote relates Yale students (undergrad too ) to the entire trading population. All it proves is that trading is an art. The exact science is way beyond our primitive human-mind. Not random, just too hard for our little pea ...

Scalping Verdict

Exactly. Contrary to certain beliefs floating around ff atm, trading is about identifying patterns and exploiting them. If you need a chart full of stuff to see your patterns, so be it, we are all different. There are no right and wrong ways. It's ...

I was not referring to the time-frame in any way, only the relative volume differences between futures and spot volume. I was only offering an opinion on the chart that was posted.

The Ethics of Trading - Is Trading Parasitic?

LOL, let me refresh the original question. "Is there a chance you can explain randomness in a way the masses can understand?" I'll answer it for you, no there is NOT....

Long term Profits within Negative Expectancy

Interesting that we have these fictitious claims about randomness when an adequate definition of randomness cannot be agreed upon by the smartest minds on this planet. It's even argued that randomness doesn't even exist. If you can define it and ...

Hello and good day to you Shreem. I hope all is well. You should be off work soon hey mate? The charts are from trade guider, I don't really like it as a charting platform to be honest, but I am slowly getting used to it. It has however helped me ...

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

Looking over my charts it seems to be a bit of a dog fight ATM. I would not be surprised if it's trying to test the 4450 highs from earlier this month. The 8hr chart shows clear signs of weakness, but also possible renewed strength on the 4hr. The ...

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

I'd be careful using futures volume on the lower timeframes, it can be deceiving. Here's my take on what happened. I agree it was a possible markup on the higher timeframe's but the 5m chart did hint that it was going to go up. I could be way off ...

james16 Chart Thread

I believe outside bars must completely engulf the previous bar's trading range with a close on the higher end for a bullish and on the lower end for the bearish. It's even better if the close is above the high/below the low of the preceding bar. ...
