Infinity / Transact Wishlist

Recommended Posts

Hey Gang,

 

I was wondering if there were any Infinity AT users here?

 

I love the AT Platform. Its fast and stable, and I love the ease of use. I am curious what type of order entry strategy for trading the ES is used. I Enter at support or resistance and use a 4,8,12 tick exit with a 8 tick breakeven stop. Stop moves to breakeven after 5 ticks. This works OK for me, but I feel like I could be doing better. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

 

Again I wish Infinity had better charting options...

 

I hope Infinity Tom is listening.

What exactly is the wish list part? Just 'better charting'. I'll go out on a limb and say that they'd probably want more details than 'better charting'. Other than that, your post is dealing w/ specific trading strategy, which has nothing to do w/ the platform in question...

Better charting will require a different charting vendor. I think Infinity now uses Sierra charts? There is a huge population of Sierra chart users... though not my taste. It really depends on how much you are willing to spend on charting. If you are trying to keep costs low, then Sierra is perfect. If you do not mind spending close to $1k/month on charting, you will find alot more options.

BF,

 

What's your problem? I didn't crash your OEC thread so why not return the favor and play nice?

 

Also, I'm not addressing this post to Infinity I'm addressing this post to AT users on this forum, if there are any. If this doesn't apply to you then you should consider it none of your concern.

 

FYI the trading strategy has everything to do with AT as its a basic entry exit play.

Soultrader,

 

I know my options are Sierra, ensign on the low side and maybe esignal on the upper end. Just wish there was an option somewhere in between. I'm trying to get into market profile a little bit more. I appreciate the posts in the MP section of the forum.

 

Thanks

Hi TraderJean,

 

Just so you know esignal is considered on the lower end :)

 

Tradestation charts are good also, simply put $5k into their account and pay around $200 for the platform. Have you tried IRT? Something you might want to try out as well.

Jean,

Your thread is a wishlist for a platform, yet the only wish is 'better charting'. There's nothing there to help anyone that might be reading this. You need to provide details if you want any help whatsover.

 

As for the trading strategy, it has nothing to do w/ AT. You are talking about how to exit a trade. That is not platform dependent. Do you just need the AT guys to develop a way to get you out at the optimal level? :roll eyes:

 

As you've seen in my OEC thread, I ask users to give SPECIFIC details of what they'd like done. I cannot go to OEC and say 'make better charting'. That's a useless request to anyone. That accomplishes nothing. What does 'better charting' mean to you? I'm going to guess the guys at AT are not mind readers therefore they have no idea what you mean here.

 

If you can't provide details though, just leave it at 'better charting' and maybe they can guess what you mean and come up w/ something at some point in time. If not, you can come back and tell everyone that the guys at AT didn't listen to your request. ;)

Didnt read the post carefully... but I can see why it was misleading. Not many platforms have implementation of order routing with the DOM and charts linked. Traderjean, if you want a charting platform that can link your stops and targets you are looking at spending some dollars on a high end platform like CQG.

 

BF... does OEC provide this function already? Traderjean, your entry/exit strategy should not have anything to do with the charting platform. If the AT can provide you with the order routing strategies... you are basically looking for a better charting/analysis tool. Am I on the right path here?

Soultrader,

 

Exactly, AT has the automated OCO order routing tools. My exits are predetermined, although they can be manually manipulated if i choose. My challenge, and i bet this is shared by a few is when to get in a trade, not when to get out. I am simply looking for more intuitive charts that accept the AT data feed. I am getting into MP, and sierra just doesn't cut it for me in that regard.

 

Thanks much,

BF,

 

I'm going to ignore the snippy part of your post and just say that this post is to seek out info from AT users. If I have a direct request or question of Infinity / Transact I don't post it in a forum I call my broker directly. Thats kind of the whole purpose of having a broker after all.

 

Also with AT I use a multiple bracket order with a break even stop. It's definitely dependent on the AT platform to function.

 

Good night.

Hi Jean,

 

I appreciate the kind posts regarding the Infinity AT platform. There are many AT users that are very happy with Sierra charts and at $26 per month it can be a very good option for those users.

 

Moving forward with AT v3 there will soon be additional charting options including advanced functionality for Market profile users. Please PM me -- I will be happy to discuss this further with you, or if you would like to contact your broker directly please do so.

 

Best regards,

 

Tom

BF,

 

I think TraderJean is expressing a concern about the robustness of available charting platforms that directly write to the AT data feed. We do have many Sierra & Ensign users and for many of those users that option works just fine.

 

The good news for Jean and others who wish for an alternative is that the AT v3 is currently being written into additional high-quality charting platforms and will provide some additional options for those users.

 

Best regards,

 

Tom

Jean,

 

Thanks for your post. I like your strategy and you are right - with AT you can easily adjust your targets or stops and keep the OCO functionality active.

 

Since with v3 you now have a non-expiring simulator you can easily switch back and forth and test different entry / exit scenarios on the SIM before putting those strategies into a live environment. You can adjust your break-even levels, or you can try using a trailing stop.

 

Also in regards to your charting options PM me. I have some good news for you.

 

Best regards,

 

Tom

I am very curious about this comment. I have been using Infinity/Sierra for charting for over a year now and the majority of my strategies are based around MP. What exactly does Sierra not have that you would need when talking about MP?

Sierra charts seem to work pretty well for the vast majority of Infinity users. There will be additional options available moving forward with V3.

Could not find a free verson, did you mean 30day free trial.

 

Yes, 30 day trial. You can see if the charting quality meets your criteria. I am sorry I wasn't very specific.

Have you tried this, does the software then connect seamlessly to the datafeed from Infinity/Transact trading platform, if so do you then have to pay exchange fees, if so how much for say ESmini per month and to whom. If you trading this instrument, what exact symbol would be inserted in the charting package to download for example a 15min chart or a daily chart.

Hello HAKUNA,

 

I feed my MC with ASCII files. I do not trade US exchanges yet, so I cannot answer your questions. Right now I am looking for a broker and data feed provider.

 

Look at some of these videos:

Transact feed seems to be very slow compared to zenfire and xtrader.

Try esignal for datafeed and infinity AT V3 as a trading platform, pretty good IMO

 

eSignal are robbers; they offered me $30 for CME fee + $125 for their eSignal Premier application per month. Maybe I'll ask Transact for their demo and will judge the quality of their feed by myself; I still have a few weeks for taking my decision on the data feed and the broker.

 

Regards

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan." Author: Louise Bedford Source: https://www.tradinggame.com.au/
    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
