{quote} Yes, Nik ... that plus the thrust bar was my setup. onejester ... I took that trade also ... and I also almost cut it short but the practice is paying off and I thought about all the other trades that I stopped out and then went for +25 .... so I left it ... conquered my emotions on that trade ... taking it one by one.

Well done

I don't think it helps that I am frankly dog tired, today I just wanted to get it done. So it was a battle of patience internally.

My 'job' involves chunking data around all day and I've been at it for 6 hours straight by the time we open. I think a siesta would probably help before the session.

As long as I don't get a bitch slapping it is progress for me

Ended at -1 today ... I might have to think about dropping the tail trade for a while, just staying with immediate trend trades ... I do not do well with tail type trades in general it seems ...

{quote} this link should clear some questions. https://www.cmegroup.com/market-data...tributors.html brokers don't provide data in the futures market. only the guys in the list above do. with regards to unfiltered, aggregated, etc data, it's all about what method of transmitting that data providers pick that fits their technology to give the least latency to their users. see this thread for pretty decent explanation. At the end of the day, the limiting factors are cost and efficiency. You just have to choose which method fits...
Thanks man. Very informative. Makes a whole lot of sense now. Everyone has their own opinion so I guess I just have to pick one and roll with it.

I believe you use CQG with AMP so this dude on the other forum has some issues with it... just fyi.

No need to go down rabbit holes. Get infinity futures put trades on and then see for yourself about the execution

Quoting Nik-Nyc
Hilmy has provided solid answers and references to your questions. I will add few more details you may find helpful. {quote} Correct, the main function on the brokers is to 1)"clear risk" (aka make sure you have the margin) before an order is allowed to hit the market, 2) balance the accounts during market close, essentially depositing/withdrawing from your segregated funds bank account. {quote} Any and all the data providers discussed will provide exchange-wide data. Period. Why? Many reason, 1)neither broker nor data provider are licensed market...
I love the transparency that's for sure but also feel a bit scared hanging around with the big boys in their backyard. You are right about that. No amount of transparency or clean data feed will help with poor trading. That is why I am looking into volumes and more than just a price chart that did not exists in spot fx:-)

recorded todays session will upload in 10 minutes
We appreciate your time investment with these videos. Its great to see 2-5 trades in usually 45min or less make a grand.
What a shift in mindset for people babysitting one trade for hours and hours contemplating if they should add on 0.02 lots or not . . . . Sweating whether of not red news will come before they can get out in profit . . . Its like the difference between cutting a trail in the forest with a pocketknife or a chainsaw. Lol

Ad hoc practice sessions of yesterday and today ... I think I grasped something from Mr D's last youtube that I missed so far ... testing that and managing my risk a bit different ... good results so far.
