Yes, I personally used the 1 min chart, while glancing at the 5 min and 15 min TFs for a longer term view. Just to the right of the Symbol in the Chart window, is the timeframe selection (mine is on "1"). That drop down menu can be changed to tick, ...

Disclaimer: I am not net profitable scalping EUR/USD on the 1 min TF, although I was up money last year (2012). This year (2013), I am down...and spending more time trading futures (with MB Trading, of course). Here is my template. The Simple Moving ...

Justin, Is there any information you can share with us about the futures clearing switch from Apex to Knight? I haven't used my futures account since 2009, but was considering some varied strategies involving foreign exchange futures. Is there an ...

I've had problems with Currensee not reporting trades previously in my Pay for Limits account. There were many times last year where I could not maintain (or initiate) a connection at all. Yesterday, although I updated my connection in the morning ...

While Justin is very helpful and attentive, I think it would be wise to open a ticket on MB's site in Account Management, clearly explaining the problem. ...Then Cashiering can fix whatever is not happening the way you want. This is a general ...

Thanks for the input... yes, the stats presented in the previous post were for February only ... a very small, insignificant number of trades. January was disastrous and the losses were large. I let some run. I had poor, impatient entries.. perhaps ...

Scalping, +100% Returns, and beating HFT

February update: I was far more conservative this month, with a deliberately patient style. Sometimes just 1 trade a day, waiting 20-30 minutes for my entry. Profits of about +3%, trading only 15 days...I missed most Fridays and skipped Bank ...

Yes, it is called Market Depth on MBT Navigator Pro, open that window.

I'd say it is on average, 10 million per side. I wouldn't necessarily view each price level as an individual bank though. Things constantly change every second, or fraction of a second, obviously. The high-frequency component of the quoted market is ...

My scalping setup is below. Instead of trading off of charts, you can click the Level II window (it will prefill order prices in order entry window) and send many types of orders (or set Limit orders with 1/10 of a pip accuracy). You can cancel and ...

Thanks IndyTrader, I've found myself using it more and more lately. I wanted to understand it completely. I haven't had any problems with executions, and my Limit Offset is set to Fixed, 0.0. I won't tinker with it.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Heya mmaker, I think....that is the list of brokers that they have an IB (introducing broker) agreement with for people who want to sign-up as Investors. To start a profile similar to mine, join the Social Network, not Be an Investor. To join ...

One-Click Trading on Navigator Pro platform. Just a quick question, Justin. I have my One-Click Trading Trade Type Preferences set to Limit Order. But... One-Click Trading doesn't send a limit order at the bid/ask price when I click short/long to ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Yes, I still do. (It's in the first post of the thread and below.) I'll try to incorporate a link into my signature, even though there isn't much to brag about at the moment. (edited: done) I really favor MB Trading as a broker. Additionally, I ...

Scalping, +100% Returns, and beating HFT

It has been an ugly month. I've had multiple max loss days and a very low winning trade percentage. I had some trouble at the beginning of the month, trading a divergent Euro as compared to the S&P. I've stopped the comparison. Though it sometimes ...

Heya TPO Trader...Thanks for taking a look. I traded Pay for Limits for about a year, mostly before they reduced the payouts. It was very good. It may be my own opinion, but... I just don't see the customer-to-customer interaction with my orders. I ...

Scalping, +100% Returns, and beating HFT

Just a quick post to show the kind of market action I will try to avoid. I started around 9:45am EST, initially trying some short scalps. Looks like a stop run above the 1.3350 area at 10:00am, which I did not predict. This is followed by some long ...

Scalping, +100% Returns, and beating HFT

Being fair and honest, I wanted to take a moment and make a post for this week. I've had some losses, more than my usual 2 losing days per month, already. The markets have been "trendy", and generally what is good for trend followers is not so good ...

Scalping, +100% Returns, and beating HFT

Thanks for taking a look at my thread. Honestly, I have separated my ego-needs from my posting on FF. I really just want to make some money to justify my time spent trading. It's really not about me "showing off", or creating an uber-thread with ...
