SIMPLETRADES

thanks, but i read up on range charts and i still cant figure them out and dont intend to keep trying. but good luck with them and i hope you are recovering.

my fault, sorry, i didnt look at page 1 of the posts. i know nothing about range bars besides the fact tradestation offers them. i'll look into them, but why not just use a tick chart with a very small setting?

leveraging for trading cfd's sound in many ways like the private capital trading firms (not brokers) in the US that offer 10x margin on small deposits. I have a link to one if anybody cares.

i'm curious how your paintbars compare to some of mine. what day was the screenshot and what time zone? thanks

email, do you know anyone who can redo my ts /mc easy lang coded indicators to sierra format? here's a screenshot of my paintbars and macd. i removed everything else to simplify, but the paintbars go very well with boll band double bottoms/triple tops and midline breaks.

that doesnt make sense--if the overnite cme requirement is 5000 or whatever thats going in the wrong direction. that sounds more like a securities trade than the futures.

thanks but i'll probably try oec demo with multicharts for a month or so which hopefully will be long enough to get my tradestation/multichart indicators i wrote myself coded for sierra by someone. then i'll just be paying 26/mo for sierra charting.

youre right. atcbrokers was 843. and mirus fesx might be 1100 if i got them confused--but whether its 1100 or 1575 or 2100 for fesx, infinity at 500 blows them away.

its $4 plus 2.30 exchange fees. Mirus I thought was 4.40 plus fees but the ES margin was 843 and the FESX was either 1575 or 2100 vs 500 each with Infinity.

Cant speak for Mirus--I only had a short phone call looking to find feed to replace transact with multicharts but I know Infinity doesnt discriminate against small accts. I 've always been a very small acct and pay 6.30 incl exchange fees. If you're right then it would be cheaper if my acct gets larger and they'd be beating other brokers by more.

thanks, i may buy the demo but never trade with them. Infinity is 500 margin on both but OEC wants 843 per ES and 1575 for FESX. So does Mirus.

is demo feed delayed? and can i get FESX as well as ES?

I have been with Infinity for 2 or 3 years and like them a lot. I dont know Tom, but my first week I was trading the EC and overnite I closed a position and didnt notice that I must have double clicked and closed but then had an equal number of contracts now short until almost dawn. They broke the trade for me and never hid behind the often quoted but tired line about the risks of electronic trading. They were very nice.

The only problem with that is is IQ charges a monthly fee, plus the feed plus there is MultiCharts pricing. It almost makes Tradestation subscription affordable at 275 for platform and ES. If anyone has a cheap feed for futures to Multicharts let me know. I like Infinity as a broker and prefer MC to Sierra because Ive written software I like for tradestation which I converted to MC.

I prefer Infinity Futures. $4 round trip plus exchange fees comes to $6.30 per contract. On the FESX its actually 6.30 Euros too. Ask for Pat. Better margin than Mirus too
