hi there Does anyone have any exp of trading Orange (ticker: OJ) is it hard to trade, are there lots of volumn? Will there be alot of slippage? thanks

Hi there Where can I get news for all grains i.e. Wheat, SoyBeans, Coren etc? I'm referring to news like Forex Factory calendar news i.e. http://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php Also, are there any news from Forex Factory calendar I should take in consideration when trading Grains i.e. Consumer Price Index, Unemployment Claims, Existing Home Sales etc? I've checked cmegroup.com, but can not find a calendar there for Grains Thanks

If youre using a smaller timeframe i.e. tick, range or vol chart, would you ever experience this limit day problem? Also, can someone please explain this limit issue for dummies like me?

Do you get slippage even if you enter as a limit order? thanks

Thanks for that, is trading the Hang Seng Index Futures or the Mini OK for new traders? Also, how should on prepare to trade it? i.e. When trading ES or DOW etc, I can get News times and make sure I don't trade 5 min/5 after. But for the Hang Seng Future/Mini Index there is no news. Also they have a 2 hr lunch break, normally that time, would you expect a big gap (down/up) thanks

Hi I am new to the Hang Seng Index, I have a few questions 1. Can you trade the Hang Seng Index ? 2. What is it like to trade i.e. is there a lot of volumn, or just to slow 3. Compared to other markets like ES/DOW, is it choppy? 4. What platform supports this i.e. viewing the data in a chart thanks for all your help

Hi there Wonder if you guys can help? I found this code in google, can someone please help me in translating it to NinjaTrader (pref working with Ninja 7 as well?)

Does anyone have this for Ninja? Thanks

Does this VS indicator work with EOD? or does it have to be in realtime? ... for Ninja Thanks

Thanks for that, that was really useful. So why dont day traders hedge everything they do with this, I think its a win/win situation? I mean, if I were to trade DOW, and it went all wrong, I can trade ProShares Short Dow30 (ETF). Dont know if this makes sense? Maybe day traders do this? But its a nice idea.

Thanks diablo272, I looked at that, really useful that was. Just one question, can one buy ETF's? i.e. like from a broker and is it the same as buying 1 contract like the eminis? Thanks again

I have, acaully before I started a thread I had done that, but as you know, im new to trading, and I thought someone can give me a dummies guide to what it is. thanks

hi there What are ProShares UltraShort ? i've noticed everytime the DOW or ES goes up, ProShares UltraShort goes down, and everytime the DOW or ES does down, ProShares UltraShort goes up. Can you buy ProShares UltraShort contracts like you can buy contracts for the DOW or ES? Thanks

What do you mean by thin? do you mean theres no volumn

Thankyou guys, you really helped me in understanding how it works. OK, whats the slippage like for @YM? I guess it's not max 2 ticks for that? Hope you can help me again with this. Many thanks and king regards

Gosh, as much as 2 ticks, thats alot :-(

Hi there I want to trade the @ES, when I write a strategy on Ninja (using Zen-fire feed) will my market order be filled there and then? In other words, will I get slippage, if so, how many ticks or points are we talking about? Thanks

yep, he is "the man" when it comes to programming!!

I think spyro is bascially saying the following: This is from e otpro's site: And this is the image (its the bottom indicator)

Thanks Blu-Ray for your help

Hi Blu-Ray I went through the Tradestation forum, and I found this code, please correct me if I'm wrong, I think it dispalys contracts based on users input. Would you mind having a look at it , I've plotted it on my machine, and I think it might do? But it would be better if it was like an oscillator, and color coding it i.e. green/red for buying / selling. What do you think? Thanks Inputs: Level (25); Variables: VolQty (0); if BarType >= 2 then begin if Volume >= Level then VolQty = Volume; if Volume < Level then VolQty = 0; end else begin if Ticks >= Level then VolQty = Ticks; if Ticks < Level then VolQty = 0; end; Plot1( VolQty, "Volume" )

Hi Blu-ray, Dont know if this helps with my question above? currentcontracts is a reserved word Value1 = currentcontracts; My problem now is how to get this intergrated with the rest of the Bid/Ask indicator. Hope you can help us out. Many thanks

Thankyou so much Blu-Ray!!!

Good idea spyro, Blu-Ray, can this be done? if it can, and if you have time, can you please change the code to reflect spyro reply? If not no worries Thanks

Hi all Thanks very much for everyone in writing this great indicator. I esp like pwald9 version, because the color changes if it reaches +8 or -4. The only thing with that one is ... the color changes are hardcoded i.e. if I change the Top and TopMid the colours dont change (it has been hardcoded for for 4)? Dont know if that makes sense? Can someone please help out in changing the code so that the Top and MidTop change color depending on what I enter? Hope this is OK?
