It makes sense. I was following T&S Wednesday after 5:00pm. Not much usually goes on then, compared to morning trading. But I liked it because like you said, "you can keep track easier of who is doing what". I managed to "predict" some nice moves seconds before they happened.(not to brag or anything...):missy: I will definetly now check out Ags, softs and meats. Thanks for the advice!

Can you repost this, the link doesnt work.

This is what MD said, "There is no symbol for the NYSE Cumulative Tick because ZenFire does not provide data for Indices and Statistics. ZenFire is Futures Data Only."

Thanks so much Steve for telling me about Time and Sales trading. Im having great results so far (even though I dont have $TICK yet). Heres my setup. On the left is T&S from 1 lot up. In the middle is the Bids | Asks at price(footprint). On the right is 10 lot and higher. Anyone care to share there setup?

Camstudio is good and its free..)

How do I get the NYSE "$TICK" ? I have a subscription with CME. Do I need a subscription with NYSE?

Ok Since Im currently interested in Currencies, then tell me if I got the right idea: The 6E(Euro) goes up if it is stronger then Dollar. So I would actually be looking for the $NYSE Tick to be moving opposite to the 6E? My reasoning behind this is more stocks are trading down which is bad for US, therefore good for Euro.

I really like this statement.

Im trying to set up the T&S in NT. There are options for setting the background color based on: traded at ask, above ask, at bid and below bid. My question is, are the trades that traded above the ask or below the bid considered more aggressive?(newbie question.)

Steve, Yea, Im interested in futures. What is "NTSE tick and volume"? Why is the Level 2/Dom not important(just asking)? I will be using MarketDelta. What are "break charts"? Would you consider the 'footprints' better than "Time and Sales"? Ok, around key levels of Volume Profile, Pivots, etc. Ok I will try. Heres a cool interview of a guy who uses Order Flow: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK58oT5GTGE&p=25937227F42F996A&wl_token=NQVnBvxVxO7jGpynnOje7czkE_p8MTMwMzkyOTU4MUAxMzAzODQzMTgx&wl_id=lK58oT5GTGE]YouTube - Boris Schlossberg Millionaire Traders[/ame]

Thanks. Whats a point & figure chart?(I think I heard a lot of people use it with order flow..) Yes, I assume it would take a lot of practice/time to be really good. Like learning a musical instrument(which is an art also). Any opinions about Constant Volume Bars?

How do people learn to read bid|ask footprints/orderflow? Do they only look at footprints at key levels or can you trade with just footprints without looking at candlesticks/barcharts by just 'going with the flow'? Is the best way to learn by just staring at it for hours each day? Any advice appreciated. Thanks. -Paul

Thanks DaVinciLite. Unforntunatly I dont have historical Bid/ask data. Mine starts from when I turn on the program... If I got IQFeed would I have the historical bid/ask data?

Zenfire is free. Maybe thats why.

I cant compare it cause I dont have any previous footprints...Is this normal? Also if you look at the bid/ask there is about 20, 0|0 bid/ask? no one traded there or is this also a zenfire problem? In the second picture there is a gap in the middle of the chart...I dont think its normal? and the candle wicks are going all the way down to bottom of chart. wtf...

Thanks. I was hoping you wouldnt say that. O well. Iqfeed it is.

Hey guys. I currently have MD with zenfire and want to know if the footprint bid asks are accurate. Can someone post a 5min footprint of theirs for 6E or ES? It would be nice to compare another zenfire and a iqfeed feed. Thanks.

No regular pips. 4th decimal in Euro is a pip. And 5th is 0.x/pip. Now that I think of it, I think the closing out early before SL is hit is mostly a Mt4 thing...

Thanks. I think im gonna try using the futures charts with spot only because I have the $250 left on the account and its not that much. If I turn it into $2000, I'll open a futures account. If I end up losing it, then I'll open a futures account. Either way I'll go to futures.

Wow $5 is like only 0.4 pip/tick! When trading spot I had to add an extra 5 pips to my stop loss. Why? Because when price got within 5 pips of the actual stop it freakin closes you out. B.S. Is it like that in Futures? Is it possible to have a 5 tick SL?

Ok. I understand now. Was still a little forex brainwashed. So instead of paying a spread you pay a commision? How much on average is it?

Swing size? I dont know, I want to risk 10 to make 30 or more...'Bookie'? Whats that.

I want to use Volume Market Profile, Vwap, Footprint charts and delta Indicator...Basically they all have something in common: Volume....lol. In Spot Fx I never had this kind of stuff. Well see how it goes... Its only a $250 FX account...

Do you think I could trade Euro/Usd Spot Fx by using Euro 6E Future chart/data feed? They move in sync and have proportional swings right?

Is this right...Euro Future is $12.50/contract? If I only traded 1 contract with a 10 tick stop loss the risk is = 1 x $12.50 x 10 = $125? So 2 contracts would be: 2 x $12.50 x 10=$ 250 risk?
