so, it wasn't such a good idea this year...

they look the same to me

.....it is possible..... only with FXCM

Happy Quad Day Happy Quad Day Do you have any special plans? anticipations? expectations?

.......................................................... so cool... ;-) ..........................................................

.........check their website under Market Data Service data is intellectual property...selling data is a business http://www.cmegroup.com/market-data/licensed-quote-vendors/index.html you are not the first one, nor the last one, to look for historical data.

you have to subscribe to Bloomberg or something like that. but don't ever think that the speed of obtaining announcements will give you an edge in trading...

usually the respective exchange offers the data for sale. A friend recently bought 20 yrs of ag future data, it set him back $900. (I don't know how many symbols or exact # of contract months)

they all look the same to me

forgotten to mention the multi-currency account and cheap commission ;-)>

I doubt you can find another broker with IB's international penetration and product coverage and technical superiority and customer service AND financial stability. this world isn't that big.

even eSig aggregates its data... it is disclosed in the fine print. ;-)

IB streams a minimum of 3 packets a second... many brokers/datafeed are doing no better, but because they don't disclose their aggregation, nobody makes it an issue. p.s. I am not sure what the OP meant... trading North American emini while locating at an Asian country? or trading emini product of an asia exchange from Toronto.

You can request IB to connect you directly to the Hong Kong server. That would reduce your latency.

the HSI future is trading at 150~300 contracts per minute, I don't think there is enough volume for them to aggregate. LOL

Show me ONE broker or datafeed that does not use snap shot. ... even the exchange aggregate their data. LOL CME "improved" the aggregate rate recently, and sent everybody into a tail spin.

.......... you are welcome !

tell me, if you start with US$10,000, how much (conservatively) would you have by the end of the week?

Tuesday Dec 15 FOMC Meeting Begins Wednesday Dec 16 FOMC Meeting Announcement 2:15 PM ET

I have seen the demo of a real time Elliot wave program. (forgotten the name) it kept on revising its wave count numbers as the market unfolds, you won't know if the number 5 you are getting is really a 5. LOL.

one more thing is needed... how do you calculate the volume percentage you want? what is the formula ? to make things simpler, let's say there are only 3 bars in one day, you are at the first bar of the day now, and you want to compare the current bar's volume with the first bar of yesterday... how would you do it? p.s. this is not a trick question... we are not coding yet, all you need is to write down the idea in pseudo code. i.e. don't over complicate things.

.......... .......... Yes !

nah... never a bad day. I just have no patience with people who don't want to read... LOL I told him to start with a book, and he came back to ask me to guide him. I already guided him -- go start with a book for crying out loud. p.s. guess why I knew he uses MT4? a few would understand, not everybody tho. LOL

forget about autotrading... you have a reading disability... you have read my post, but did not understand it. read it again might help. p.s. alternatively, if you don't want to read, I can teach you for a fee of US$250,000.

.......... time to upgrade !
