Okay. Just be careful being unimprisoned by negative beliefs when you deal with your finances...I have seen some unimprisoned by negative beliefs types go down hard by the hands of some unscrupulous people. Sometimes being too "unimprisoned by negative beliefs" can be synonymous with lack of common sense. We can talk all day on the forums. See you in the markets.

For the record, backfill will be included in the data when you do a replay...you would want to select the amount of backfill when you set up the chart....yeah I see your point... I guess when you get too low in time frame that may take place....Try reloading the data. I usually use either a 210 tick or about 3-5 minutes, so I haven't had that issue... Sorry I don't have much more info than that. I am new to the daytrade time frames and replays myself....just passing along what I have come up with so far. I will try to see if I can figure anything out though. Good luck.

You are quickly losing credibility with your attitude towards others here.

He isn't marketing it as Market Profile, I am curious how they could shut him down for infringement....and not to mention, he is in Israel...so I doubt that's gonna happen. It's not like he is sitting in Omaha on his pappy's farm where the cops can just drop by and shut him down.

He was speaking first in generalities, then mentioned that Roger has a history of up and leaving. Using deduction, I believe the point would be to find something you UNDERSTAND, not a black box magic indicator you learn to follow. That way if you are left holding the bag, you will be SELF SUFFICIENT. Relying on others to always tell you the truth and have integrity when money is involved will lead to ruin. Once again, if I had worked for years and years to develop a trading method that was winning very well, there is no way I would sell it, or run a chat room. I would trade it. For myself. Period. You wouldn't need to manage OPM anyways...with enough patience, even starting with a relatively small stake, you would be rich as you could ever imagine. And if I were to decide I wanted to be a philanthropist (as so many vendors state they are) and share the ideas with others...I would first be highly selective in who I taught it to...secondly, I wouldn't charge...if it was so good, I wouldn't need to....chat room income would be nothing to me. Oh, and philanthropists don't charge for their deeds of kindness. Something to consider, to think otherwise is fairly irrational.

Yeah sim mode is free, they only charge if you're executing live. I like the MP plugin, does the job well man. As far as Open Tick, I haven't really had too many bad ticks (that I noticed) but you would probably be better qualified than me on that, as I don't spend a whole lot of time on replays right now...I am slowly transitioning from my longer term strategies that don't need real time. For replay, you have to set up the replay recorder, which is in the TOOLS, then DATA option on the control center. Then you just select the box that says enable market replay in the morning, or the night before. Then once you get home, you will notice when you go to CONNECT to market replay connection...you will see todays date...just select whatever day you want as your data source....and you're good to go. You are right though- I wold imagine as I got more into the replays I would want to drop the money on a better data source...maybe DTN offers Market Access for Ninja, which is cheap...also, if you open a brokerage acct with supported brokers you get data free from them....Watch out for IB though, to my understanding their volume data is wildly inaccurate due to the way the transmit data in faster markets. Right now though, I am learning the basics of the shorter timeframe and observing and pretty much fooling around, so I don't need absolutely accurate data...like I said though- Once I got serious, I would probably look to spend the money on better data... NT customer service is top notch too, which is a big deal in my book. Nothing quite like waiting three days to have a simple question answered (TradeMaven). NinjaTrader has a walkthrough for setting up replay if my post didn't help ( I am not the best writer)....but if I can clarify anything for you..let me know.

No problem. Good luck.

You could look into Ensign, as they have price histogram.... They use price over time instead of volume, which is still a very good indication of AMT. Works for forex too....as it doesn't rely on volume.

heh heh no, I don't scalp...I go for the big moves.

Not a big fan of customer service AT ALL. The only time I ever got a response from Customer Service was when I emailed them to tell them I was cancelling my trial based on lack of cooperation on their part (ie not responding to emails). I received an email from a rep at that point....at this time it took almost three days to get my market profile set up. I did not like the set up for MP on their platform. Some might, but I didn't....very hard for me to deal with..but that is just my opinion. It simply wasn't my cup of tea for $70-80 a month...... I ended up going with Ninjatrader with the MP plug-in...it was a 1 time $250...I use open-tick which is free for ecbot minis delayed data...which is all you need for data replays.... Works like a charm. And after the $250 up-front....it's free. That's what I like to hear. Too much shadiness surrounding Trademaven for my comfort....

I don't know a whole lot about OEC and a few things always seemed weird to me, as other brokers have their own quirks...but to back up a statement like that with MONEY....that earns some respect...Word are cheap and easy...but once again Money Talks-BS Walks. I'll give it to OEC on this one. I definitely noticed.

You are definitely right. I wasn't aware of the outcome. Thanks for posting that. Money Talks- BS Walks. Most definitely. That is impressive.

I have already come to that conclusion, but thank you for the input. . Are you by chance remunerated by them?

Thanks Tom.

While on paper it seems like the conspiracy would be possible....human nature pretty much precludes it from actually being feasible. Same reason communism doesn't work.....too many loose ends to count on....

It's okay. We are here to help.

This was three weeks ago.

Any updates...?

Please note topic of forum you are in.

Funny, as my experience with them wasn't anywhere near that nice. I actually gave them two chances appx six months apart.

There apparently was some sort of major fiasco the other day over at OEC...Brownsfan, did you hear any new info on what may have happened?

I lost a good friend in the Pentagon that day. He had just transferred over. We always joked about how lucky he was to have a cushy job like the Pentagon. He got there in April, died in September. I would really hope that all this wasn't just some planned demo.

Well put, Ant. I can't bring myself to read the CBOT manual, because, as the saying goes....don't ask a barber if you need a haircut. I may be wrong- but I don't like reading "official" material put out by a trade board (or brokerage for that matter) on how to trade. Conflict of interest. They truly do not want the masses to succeed, because then the consistent winners who pay an arm and leg for their seats and memberships....would no longer be the winners...and wouldn't be members anymore....so that would cause a huge drop in revenue for the board of trade.... The individual, non-member trader is on their own...and we are expected by them to lose. We are expected to be marks in their shell game. My opinion if course. Be advised-I am slightly cynical.

Exactly...the way I see it...in science, a computer has the indisputable edge. Period. There is no one that can consistently out calculate a computer. Therefore the only logical thing to do in order to obtain an edge for yourself, is to rely on characteristics a computer does not and cannot have- discretion, art, perception, and intuition. Only play ball on your court, by your rules.

Enter...the Kettlebell....
