Re: FUTR - T-BONDS and daytrading w/delayed feeds

I cannot imagine trading w/out live data. The patterns play out in real
time, and you need to trade in real time, especially if u r daytrading.
Bonds are sometimes volatile, but they are nothing like the spooz. If u
r looking for a 1/4 to 1/2 point move, and have stops three ticks aways,
let's say, that is good risk reward. But, if futures, in the 10-minutes
of delay move 2-4/32nds, your chances of making money have fallen
significantly. Think of it this way. Each tick is $31.25. If you lose
three ticks on either side, that is over $180 slippage before you get
real time slippage too. Would you pay $180 rt brokers fees?
