Nah still using and complaining about NT. They have now moved NT8 CQG historical data to their servers and reduced access to instruments!! FFS! No SFE no CAC and I'm sure there is more coming. :banghead:

I gave up on NT and switched to Market Delta. Tad pricey, but has everything I need.

Looks like they were bought out by CQG as the new MarketDelta platform is just CQG underneath, same looking DOMs and platform etc.

You've got desktop and cloud. Desktop version has tons of features -

Nice separation of cash, market hours, volume profiles, cumulative delta, studies etc

Yeah that's definitely CQG based now, I think it used to be Investor R/T based.
 
Some range and volume distribution histograms for the Dax, probably of no use but trying to get better with Python...

All this data talk has got me intrigued. Am I fool for trading ICE futures through IB? Should I be looking at NInja trader for cheaper rates?

In my opinion the current situation doesn't indicate a top. I think the market has room to move upwards and it is more likely to move up than down. I also note though I think the risk to the downside is asymmetrical so making a bit bet on a long right now is likely risky (even if there was a 5% risk of a major crash, with leverage that's a 5% risk potentially of bankruptcy the way some people trade and invest) but smaller short term bets I think are reasonable and I think it is more profitable to move in and out of long positions right now than it would be to make a big bet on a down move. Current world monetary policy is supporting equity prices. It depends how much you trust central banks to not pull the rug out from under us though. They can't be so accommodating forever.

Donald Trump's proposed bank regulatory changes will support equity prices potentially as well and signs that this is moving ahead is likely to boost the markets in the medium term or at least hold them where they are. By medium term I mean the next 12 months. This is only my opinion though. Some global macro traders are saying we are at a high risk of being at the top and are expecting a crash within the next 12 months. The price of oil is a major factor right now too so things could change on a dime.

You're making it sound like I was the US dropping a nuclear weapon on New Zealand lol. I knew you had computer problems but you only own one computer? I figured you must have a laptop or something too because you're posting on the forums. When is your computer going to be back up and running?
 
I have a laptop, an iPad pro, an iPad air, an iPhone. I just haven't seen any of my normal market analysis for a while...although there's some similarly stuff on Twitter....no time either..2 sons ....an 8 week old and a 2.5 yr old...very hectic...lol
