    Nicely done (with resepct to the New Site Design).

     

    Not only does the new look provide a more professional 'feel', but the pages load noticeably faster as well.

    Hi Spyder, yes that was one of the big upsides to the new skin. We managed to decrease website load speed by 4x. The previous design was putting too much stress on the website and after we realized there was nothing we can optimize on the servers, we resorted to optimization of the design. Thanks!

    Hi all,

     

    After over 2 months of work, we have finally decided to launch our new site design. One of the big improvements of the new design is the reduction in site load. We have managed to reduce to 1/4th of the previous loading speed.

     

    What do you all think? Please use this thread to discuss the new release.

     

    There are still minor tweaks that needs to be finished which we will be working on the next few days.

     

    Please do report any bugs or finds. Your feedbacks are comments are important to us. Thank you.

    ....as an aside.... TL's servers are pitifullly slow.....

     

    ... if they ever want to compete with the joke which is ET ... they will have to get faster servers.....

     

    Yes, I am aware of this and will be working on server configs once our skin is done. The amount of customizations makes things rather difficult. Will keep the announcement section updated once we start this task. Thanks.

    eSignal Chooses Mirus Futures and Zen-Fire to further Increase visibility for its eSignal OnDemand of E-Mini Futures Products for CME Group Retail Traders

    Mirus Futures joins Interactive Brokers (IB), PFGBEST, MB Trading, and OptionsXpress in new eSignal OnDemand platform offering.

     

    Chicago IL, August 18, 2009 – Mirus Futures today announced an alliance with eSignal as one of five firms to feature the new eSignal OnDemand – Mini Futures product for CME Group traders. Mirus Futures offers the industry leading Zen-Fire trading solution providing traders unprecedented access to real-time market data and order routing. As a participant in the CME Globex waiver fee policy initiative, market data for Mirus customers of eSignal will be waived by CME Group. The other four firms, Interactive Brokers (IB), PFG, MB Trading, and OptionsXpress will enjoy the same cost savings for their customers but will not be able to offer the advantages of Zen-Fire.

     

    eSignal provides eSignal OnDemand – Mini Futures, a full-featured, active trader platform offering quotes, charts, back testing, the ability to program unique chart studies and includes intraday and historical data. A special trading plug-in allows users to trade from within the product with their choice of brokers that now includes Mirus Futures / Zen-Fire.

     

    “We are excited to have Mirus Futures and Zen-Fire using our eSignal OnDemand – Mini Futures offering,” said Chuck Thompson, eSignal president. “By offering our award-winning product line, featured through select brokers, eSignal is able to extend this cost savings advantage.”

     

    “Mirus Futures customers who currently use eSignal will be thrilled, they won't have to do anything and they will reduce their fees dramatically,” offers Eliot Wickersheimer, Principal of Mirus Futures. “Customers appreciate the option to choose which charting software package works best, but will be more likely to sign up with eSignal now that it's less expensive.”

     

    “The ability to trade on Zen-Fire data, from the eSignal OnDemand – Mini Futures platform packs an advantageous punch for CME Group retail traders. The combination of eSignal's comprehensive historical data, with the real-time data of Zen-Fire, gives traders the best of both worlds; boosting an already incredible trading experience for Zen-Fire Traders,” says Pat Shaughnessy, Principal of Zen-Fire, a leading provider of professional trading solutions.

     

    eSignal OnDemand – Mini Futures for Mirus Futures / Zen-Fire is available now. For more information, visit: www.eSignal.com/map/mirus/

    Hello, Ive received some reports about this thread and glanced at a few posts to realize some members are having issues with the moderation.

     

    In order for mods to be aware of the issue, members must use the report post button. This is because mods and myself can not possibly read through every single post on TL. (at least I used to when it was possible but unfortunately the site has gotten too big for this)

     

    All reported posts are handled in the appropriate manner and has been working perfectly so far.

     

    Brownsfan, do you not have moderating privileges on this forum? Thanks!

    Heres a 7min clip on tape reading I created. It is a simulation environment and did my best to draw out some things I watch for on the tape. The tape in use is from CQG called Order Ticker.

     

    - The highlighted numbers in the middle point out actual trades. Green means at the offer. Red means at the bid.

    - Filter is in place to show only 10 lots or bigger

    - Numbers not highlighted indicate new bids and offers.

    - Numbers crossed out means orders canceled

    - Numbers crossed out and then moved with an arrow indicates bids/offers being adjusted

    The features of Infinity AT is available in most order routing platforms now. The only difference I have seen is that some order management vendors provide different order types or Smart Orders. For example. CQG's price ladder can provide order types not supported by the exchanges as the orders are placed on the CQG servers before going to the exchange. Smart Orders are available such as Icebergs as well. (CQG is only FX and futures)

     

    Tradestation provided similar functionality from what I can recall. Also check out Barclays Stockbrokers.... they have some tools similar to what you might need as well.

    Hehe indeed! Funnily enough I was in mid conversation with someone and all messages disappeared. There where some messages that where under a day old. Still if deletions are turned off maybe that's a non issue now.

     

    Ahh my mistake. I had assumed people prefer to communicate via pm instead of public visitor messages. The feature has been entirely removed now so you wont be seeing any deletions. Thank you.
