SCUM. Clear enough for ya? Just my opinion, since you asked for it....

Have to agree with Maxima here. I'm sure someone in India can fulfill your request; you probably haven't been asking the right people in the right places, with the right type of incentive.

Try Transact or Infinity. Good platform, decent rates, especially for pikers. And they are a regulated FCM broker, despite what the idiot posted above. You shouldn't have any problem trading with them for futures. As for OEC (Open E Cry) - no comment.

Your position size should be proportional to your risk and your account size. This means that your trade size should also be able to meet and cover any margin requirements if you are caught in a limit move as well. One thing is that most traders are quick to increase position size without considering the potential consequences of doing so. I'd rather learn to trade a given setup and product successfully with say, only 3 cars, than expose myself to undue risk with a larger position. For example, it takes only a 35 cent move on CL to earn $1000 with 3 cars (and that should cover commission as well). I think with a little study and prep you can learn to find and trade a setup that can get you that kind of move day-in and day-out. Rinse and repeat. And sleep well at night too. (And be sure to use stops every time you trade).

It's not a defective version, Trendup. Just not the standard type of Range Bar is all. I was able to get the exactly same type of range bars in Sierra Charts by using their "Range Bar Type 2", which was previously defined above.

With folks like Paul Rotter in the bund, and HFTs in the Level II equities, it's a wonder anyone relies on the DOM anymore as a barometer of price action. Time and sales prints or trades on a chart are the best determinant of price action, without a doubt. Nothing wrong with indicators, except that they can introduce lag into your trading of price action.

Isn't the DOM nothing more than Liar's Poker?

I think the big deal is that it appears to connect to your computer via USB. Otherwise, nothing special, really.:missy:

3. This is actually a valid range bar setup, and is referred to as "Range Bar Type 2" in Sierra Charts, for example. The set range is met, but subsequent prints whether inside or outside the (now old) range will start a new bar. In contrast, standard range bars in SC would have to exceed the set range after it is met to start printing a new bar.

Buy a long in the new front month, and short to close out the old. However, whatever "open P/L" you had in the old position will now be "realized P/L" as a result.

Perhaps a separate discussion on what constitutes range bars vs. momentum bars ought to take place. If you are paying for the OEC demo, and they don't deliver a proper charting platform, then you probably ought to consider using a platform that gets it right instead. Like Sierra Charts. No fake-ass bars in both of their iterations of range bars. Just as it should be.
