yea, I think they disabled it, if they ever had it, you have to pay out the wazoo for it, I'm sure...its a big market, but only for big boyz...you still have access to a bloomber terminal, If I recall, the symbol is EURUSDV1M:IND
Not sure if your post above is still referring to short-term implied volatility (having a blonde moment ), but I found this on the CME site...

Trade with those guys down the street from you --I do...Strongly prefer futures to spot forex...

I have not seen a forex platform, other than Tradestation, that I care for.

I don't know.. stocks maybe? commodities? Either way it doesn't really matter, but I will take my time and do my research this time around.. It must trade during my time zone.. FX is not it anymore. It used to, but for the last year or two was pretty bad, unless doing overnite trades (which sucks because of the Frankie BS)..

Trade credit spreads.. Not nearly as time consuming as FX and if you take appropriate levels of risk, you can make .5% - 1% per week consistently.

I looked into it. Apart from their published prices, are there any hidden costs?

How fast/accurate is the data feed?

yea I saw those, but they are for historic vol, or past vol, not implied, your best bet is to take the option prices on the close, not the last trades, the settlements, and find a option calculator, and figure it that way....I have seen a few good option calculators out there, dont have them bookmarked damn it...so you'd put the price in, the strike, the interest rate, day's till expiration, and it will give you the implied vol...

I switched to NinjaTrader about two years ago, but , as I recall, there are spreads and commissions...and data fees. Other futures brokers offer better pricing than what you get through Tradestation. They have changed ownership since I was one of their clients, so not sure what they offer now.

The data was pretty clean when I was using them...

As far as NinjaTrader is concerned, the charting is mediocre, but the order management (which is what I consider most important), is second to none.

I chart with MT4, eSignal and NinjaTrader.

agree on eMini, volume + spread.. but.. also..

we see 5-10 days like today in a year.. Min.. [look at Emini today ]

when some NEws event is on.. especially when is set for a close/after of NY session..

I cant understand traders here complain on PA or volume.. .. if you are not liking PA.. simply stop trading.. come back the other day..

Where ever you gonna play, EURUSD will always hunt you and affect your best entry and most possible profit. When i look upon these things , especially Post financial crisis and what have emerged till today , i consider it market cycle of incertianty of direction. Especially now, that a political statement can move the market more than economic report ...

No wonder that fund managers are complaining of volume numbers are going down
