![]() I still use the platform, but futures trading has been greatly diminished for me. and I simply blow a gasket and swear to never come back. Knowing these "quirks" about the software helps me to use it to my advantage at times, but then I slip up and take a fat one up the ass. or its just "sour grapes" because I lost on the trade. but the ultimate bottom line has always been interpreted by me as an insinuation that I don't know what I'm doing. I've been told everything one can imagine on the few occasions I've tried to discuss it with TDA rep. I would stake my rolex on the fact that some way somehow the programming for futures is rigged to screww the user. and my sense of being cheated is quite keen. I'm no professional at futures trading, but I've been doing this for over 20 years and have made far more than I've lost over the years. When the action is in free fall (going up or down) no matter how long or short the duration of the move, when I get in a contract, way too many times for it not to be statistically significant, the trend not only stops, but reverses with the same intensity. and the same phenomenon happens on the buy side when hovering above and touching the price cell, often resulting in the price action gapping down 5 or more price levels. I've also found that hovering my cursor below the price on the sell side and moving it up to touch the price cell often causes the price action to jump up 5, 6, or more price levels. ![]() What I have noticed is the faster the action (and even quite often in slow sessions), the more likely the price is to run in the opposite direction of my trade almost instantaneously. I prefer trading on very active days since they usually produce wide price ranges, alternating between up and down multiple times a session. I just click in either the "bid size" or "ask size" at my desired fill price to enter the order for however many contracts I have indicated in the "Big Buttons" box at the bottom. great for research and placing regular stock tradesĬons: The futures trading is very suspicious.įor futures trading, I use the dynamic "bid/ask" chart where the action flows up or down on the chart. ![]() I didn't have level 2 turned on
