Oh I am sure the programmers would be more than happy to advertise their services here at TL as well. I am just saying it may not be worth the extra work for the forum operators here seeing as anyone doing C# programming for NT would already be familiar with NT's forum and their pro list. But that's TL's call. Just thought I'd throw that in to consider. As an alternative, it just might be easier and more practical to offer a link to NT's pro page...

Do you have pro programmers for NT around the corner? If not where would you go if you needed one? All I'm saying is it may not be worth the bother if someone seeking answers for C# goes to the NT forum anyway.

NinjaTrader offers pro programmers on their forum already, so it would be redundant for NT's C# language at the least.

What is it with you Tams? Everywhere I go in this forum you act like an arrogant bag of shit...

You're welcome .

Go here: Links and Downloads Manager - Indicators - NinjaTrader Support Forum And then to page 13.

Thank you...........

Looking at the TF it looks like about 5,000 contracts are traded each 15 mintutes in the first hour. That would be about 300 contracts per minute and 5 contracts per second. But of course that is just an average. Obviously the contracts are traded in bunches, so I expect many more contracts than 5 at a time could be traded without additional slippage. Thus my question...

I sort of did that, but I would prefer to also hear from someone familiar with trading these futures. Especially the EMD.

Well if the slippage is normally .2 or point .3 I could live with that. If at say at 20 contracts it began moving to .4 to .6 I would consider that questionable for my strategy and stay below that limit. Of course I will test it on a couple of contracts first. I just want to know what sort of parameters I am looking at with these futures. Do you know?

Hi ya'll. I'm developing an automatic trade strategy for the Russel 2000 and S&P Midcap emini futures TF and EMD during the first hour of RTH. Can anybody tell me the approximate maximum number of contracts for each that can be traded in that hour without serious slippage?

I am not suggesting that my target setting strategy had anything to do with these trades. These were one second spikes that when I examined the first one with a range chart turned out to be three spikes to the same level in that one second and my trade also exited with three seperate sells of equal amounts.

Hello everyone. :ciao: I have been lurking for a month or so and am enjoying what I am reading in this message board. I used to post a lot on MBs but have laid off for the past year or so. But today something happened that I have never seen or heard of before. About a month ago I had a trade running with a target of 10% just to get it out of the way. I day trade and wait to set my targets as the trade develops. Well soon after I entered the trade the stock spiked exactly to my target, stopped out, and I ended up with a nice 10% profit. I thought it was just a coincidence that it spiked exactly the amount of my target and that it actually stopped out for a profit. I just wrote it off as a serendipitous fluke. But it just happenned again today. Twice in a month. This time it was a 2% target with a 2% spike. Has anybody ever heard of this before for a retail trader?
