Let's start!
(Important stuff will be repeated)
1. Trader (You)
Decide & Trade
How are we related?
4. Broker
3. VXCharts
2. Concept Of Price
An application that gives you
a picture of the market in realtime
Perform calculations to convert
Data (numbers) into charts...
How?



..while ensuring the Data is timely
Do not trade when yellow or red
Shorter is better, color changes as it grows longer
Timely Data?
Empty = No lag, Green = 1-3 seconds
Yellow = 4-6 seconds, Red = > 6 seconds

Shows amount of delay in Data
Windows (2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10)
Intel i5 or better
Authorized broker account for data & Internet access to receive it
Yes! And it is also specially customized for
Cannon (partnering StoneX/CQG^)
thinkorswim

Test - Data from the past
Live - Current real time data
Test - Virtual money, not real
Live - Real hard earned cash
Quiz:
Can you Live trade Test data?
The difference is like a recorded vs live soccer match.
And you only need 1 type of data at a time, not both.
Ans:
No, you can't. Doing so is like placing a bet now for last night's soccer match. No one is going to accept your bet.
