  1. I have to disagree with you, if anything HFT is increasing at an exponential rate. It is a dream come true for the exchanges, more fees. This topic can be debated till the cows come home. Investment banks use these HFT algo's to trade client orders. (Retail vs Institutional another debate) Retail will always be at a disadvantage due to exchange connection line speeds via brokers, who may not themselves have ideal connection speeds I can go on and on and on. HFT is here to stay, the game is still the same, the players have changed.
  2. There is no right or wrong answer, there are some very effective strategies that only work if you have the very large size. I am referring to selling at the bid and leaving it offered over and visa versa.
  3. This is a joke right? any moving average strategy would have caught that trade. Back to the discussion. Market profile is very much alive and well. Most people don't understand it and treat it as indicator which it is not. Once you start to look at market structure, things get interesting.
  4. It all depends on what you are going to do, the style of trading. Are you going to build strategies what level of programming experience do you have. I don'd think there is a best system. Also consider brokers, make sure your broker is compatible with the software you are using.
  5. There is a lot of negativity around. I would not be discouraged, it is not the end of the world if you don't succeed you can always get a job. Always keep things in perspective it is only money. There will never be a right time, there will always be an excuse. No matter how much you have done, it will never be enough. You can never stop learning. You just need to take the plunge.
  6. I have always wondered, if these systems are no brainers and that successful why would you bother selling it, surely you are making more than enough money using them.
  7. Whatever maths you think you will need program it or use software. It will free up your time to focus on other variables. If you are applying for a job as a trader, you may get tested on your numerical solving abilities.
  8. I am looking at getting a notebook to trade with for home, so I am not tied down to a desk watching the markets. Any recommendations appreciated. Intel i7 processor 6GB Ram 17-18" screen (1920*1080) What other minimum specs do I need besides the above? Thanks
  9. No problem, I have access to all markets data. If there are any markets you would like let me know and the time frame you are looking at.
  10. Hi Tams, I am not sure if you have this for the HSI, I quickly extracted it from Bloomberg. It is 1min data, I have used the past 2234 data points.
  11. I realize this method works on any time frame as long as there is liquid volume. I would like to hear from people using it on a different time frame to 5min; the markets you are trading and the reason for choosing that time interval. Thanks
  12. I have to second that, it is the best I have ever seen. Its like having a printing press at home. You are very lucky.
  13. I am not sure if this is the right forum. I saw this and thought I would share, it is truly inspirational.
  14. # if Low = Low[1] and high = high[1] then begin tl_new( date, time[1], LOW[1], date, time, LOW ); tl_new( date, time[1], high[1] , date, time, HIGH ); end; if Low = Low[1] then begin tl_new( date, time[1], LOW[1], date, time, LOW ); end; if high = high[1] then begin tl_new( date, time[1], high[1] , date, time, HIGH ); end; # Does anyone know how to make the colours of the lines that are drawn blue? Thanks
  15. I have taken this code from Tams, does anyone know why when the High=high[1] and the Low=Low[1] it does not draw lines on both the high to high and low to low. Thanks Variables: id.tl (0), id.txt (0), old_id(0), ccc(0), id.tl.top(0), id.tl.bot(0), inside(false), insidebar(false); if Low = Low[1] then begin id.tl.top = tl_new( date, time[1], LOW[1], date, time, LOW ); end else if high = high[1] then begin id.tl.top = tl_new( date, time[1], high[1], date, time, HIGH ); end else if high = high[1] and low = low[1] then begin id.tl.bot = tl_new( date, time[1], LOW[1], date, time, LOW ); id.tl.top = tl_new( date, time[1], HIGH[1], date, time, high ); end Also does anyone know how to have permanent straight lines in the volume area. I keep having to redraw them. ie straight lines at 2000, 5000,7000,9000 and 19000
  16. Price (OHLC) and Volume. Volume and price are colour coded.
  17. A Tribute to All Those Trading the Markets [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwKYjZ_8EcE]We Are Traders - A Tribute to All Those Trading the Markets - YouTube[/ame]
  18. xkr1962, I am not a hater....very funny commentary. How much is 1 pip worth. I don't know much about trading fx. Thanks
  19. I would recommend Multicharts since it is a “Tradestation” clone. There is a gazillion systems, indicators freely available on the internet. Easylanguage is fantastic and you can be up and running very quickly. Ninjatrader is popular among programmers as I believe the language is similar to C.
  20. Quick questions; What do the following stand for; Vol (IBV,DBV) Vol (I-V) and what are the levels eg 1.2 1.5 Mode (C,X) Thanks
  21. I think we both need to go back and check the journals, below is Spyders wording "The lateral formation continues until terminated with two closes outside the Lateral boundaries (created from the High / Low of Bar 1) - except where the 'two closes' form a 'flaw.' In such a case, we require a 'third' close outside the lateral boundary in order to have reached 'termination' of the previous lateral."
