I have always been wondering who is trading at that time and if they make any money doing it, but now I know how it can be done, :-) Just another thing, I am impressed with your setup to trade the news, my strategy has always been to stay out of the market when the big boys are buying and selling at 10.00 AM (EST) o’clock markets reports, since volatility often get so extreme that everybody is stopped out, when I was unconsious I was placing an order at that time and I was just in the process of placing my stop when 10.00 o’clock news volatility happen and it cost me some money.

OK, here are the answers: 1. For ODL you need to registaer for a demo account at http://www.odlmarkets.com/lp/ - the feed name is ODL-MT4 Demo - ODL Securities 2. GFT Global Markets - http://www.gftuk.com/ 3. Interactivebrokers have a book trader which looks like Level II quotes and you can left and right clicks on specific bids and/or offers to create limits and stops. You need to activate in the settings and then right click on an instrument to start it. Hope this helps. Yes I worked for Accenture at Ericsson from August into the winter (Febuary), and I loved Stockholm, had a great time, that was followed by 2 years in Helsinki where I saw even less of the sun, but was flying back to London every weekend. Talk later, dinner time here :) Hey Per,

As far as trading the European indices I only trade the DAX as it has a higher correlation to the DOw and often lags somewhat. The FTSE has a mind of it's own and I rarely trade it. I must say I only use MT4 for the charts and technical indicators and have never used it for execution as I live in the UK and prefer to use spread betting firms (tax free and then I can make a better decision as to where my money goes). For speed of execution I use GFT (they have both spreadbetting and CFD platforms and are very professional), their execution is as good as Interactivebrokers (I used to have an account with IB). BTW, why not use the book trader with IB and then you don't need to type in? As to Guy Finley, he is an incredible guy, I have all his books and subscribe to his website as well, he just tells it as it is and has helped my 'fear of trading' quite a bit. Hope this helps, I am branching into other forms of 'Trading' as you will see in the near future. All life is about trading... have a good day and whats left of the sunshine :) (I worked in Stockholm for six month in 1999).

Like very much what you write and I must say you have a very open and genorous attitude about sharing your experience and useful books and software and how you trade. Very rare and special. I downloaded the free (!!!) MT4 trading software and was suprised about it's good quality. I run QCharts real time charting software and have Interactive Brokers as my execution platform (broker account) and I trade ES and YM (e-minis). It seem to me that MT4 is design to trade the Forex market, can you trade ES and YM and other instruments with it too? May I ask what broker you use in connection with the MT4 software? I am living in Stockholm in Sweden and only trade the US-markets (ES/YM) since they had the best software and brokers I thought, but I like the idea of being able to trade European markets also if there is good volume, tight spreads and cost effective broker fees in real time with good software and broker. I would not mind to have faster execution platform, since punching in numbers on limit orders and stop orders and clicking on several levels takes time and it is easy to make misstakes, from your video it looked like you only clicked one buttom for buy and one for sale directly from your charting software that seems to include an execution platform as well, is that right? Hope this thread is not to old, thanks for all tips and trix and books, ordered Guy Finleys CD's and e-books for only $65 today thanks to you. It is very interesting to be able to take part of how other people trade the markets, thanks for a great site I must say, hope you keep it up for a long time. Hi Mark,

As far as his works are concerned, he just recently released a new book called "Busting Loose From The Business Game." It takes the topic of discussion into a very different place, especially as it relates to money, business and career.
