Well this is a prime example of what not to do. I wasnt able to get back to my computer until 2 minutes before the release and while I rushed to get things set up I made several mistakes. Just watch the video and they'll be plain to see. There is a bit of good news tho. The only part that wasnt messed up was the mini nasdaq which went thru properly and I can honestly say there was 0 slippage. Very nice. Lastly for some reason the sound messes up halfway thru. it starts back up at 3 min. 15 sec. into the video tho. Go full screen and change quality to 720 for best view.

Forex News Gun overview
Well it looks like the days of paying $300-$400 per month for a decent auto click may be over. This software has alot of the same features as snw elite and aurora speedster but the difference is its FREE. You heard that right. Watch the video and i'd suggest download the software and start testing. Ill do a test between snw elite and forex news gun next to see how it stacks up.

Infinity futures platform
Well it would seem I set up the trailing stop wrong in my previous video. I spoke with customer support and now have it figured out. Instead of creating a video on how to use infinity's platform ill just link to some of their more important videos.
Trailing Stops:
http://www.infinityfutures.com/ATtrailingstop.aspx
Multi Target Trailing Stops:
http://www.infinityfutures.com/ATmultitargettrailingstop.aspx
Their video page has lots of info. I'd say anyone using the platform should take a look.
http://www.infinityfutures.com/videos.aspx
Also as an added note in order to see your Profit and Loss you'll need to look at your quote board, the horizontal box that pops up once you log in, click on the closed book with the red star on it at the top left hand corner to see previous orders, click on the open book to the left of it to see open orders. Also you can click Cumulative P&L at the bottom right corner if you simply want to see your total profit or loss. Lastly on the trader ladder at the top left corner you will see mkt, trades and last. Click trades and it will show the entry and exit price of the last trade you took. If someone would like to see a video just ask in the comments section. Hope this helps.
