Just to have a little fun I opened up a TOS Paper Money account...so I could better match wits with my friends who were trading CL. As has been mentioned previously the chart seems to be real-time, but Active Trader is not. But, what does seem to be close to real-time...and the chart...is the Time and Sales strip down the side. Since I came from a chart based forum group before I wandered over here, anything that matches up with what I'm expecting to see on the chart meshes well how I'm thinking about trading.


After seeing the a good DOM (Ninja + Jigsaw), I'm not sure I would want to take the time to learn DOM trading in TOS.

But, learning to read the tape(T&S) in TOS along with swing trading S/R levels on the chart...has its own special appeal.

Does anyone else prefer the chart+T&S over the TOS DOM?

Best,

Eric.

Sorry folks...I should have included a T&S on my previous post.

Further sideways action on CL...seems like most of the volume here is 9-to-11 anyway.


Best,

Eric.
