KJH, whats it like trading in Aus as far as data providers and trading platforms go?
Lousy if you want to do anything outside Aust !
Aust stocks and the 3 futures contracts are resonable. CMC had made it big here since starting about 15-18 months ago.
I trade the FTSE and ES mini on IB. Live data when i have it is via Esignal ( presently I let my sub slide after being away for 2 months) Just last week IB introduce a very crude live charting feature. This is what I use for my intra day stuff currently.
In the past I've done more on the FTSE options than futures however the trading plan I've been working on combines more futures work--with the options.
I used to do a lot on the ES mini. We are 12 hours ahead of the yanks and it doesn't do the social or family life much good starting at 9.30 pm... FTSE start is 3pm currently, 4pm in your winter.
What are the intra day chart you guys are using that I see posted?
It's like watching wet cement dry today...
I went long earlier at 4419 and scratched it when the opening high didn't break. ( closed it at 4422)
Bought some calls tho for later in the week ( I hope !! )
