[@ericjondahl9418]

Thank you! I found your video while searching for setup tips as I just downloaded Motivewave an hour ago. Big help!!

[@shoot112]

Perfect timing! So much faster and more efficient then digging through every individual MotiveWave tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

[@JreesOSRS]

The timing of this couldn't have been better lol. I got a mac recently and have been wanting to start apex or topstep but most platforms aren't native with Mac. Thank you!

[@drufe]

Dude, this is a really good video and super helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make it; I know how much goes into making videos like this. I'm currently evaluating MotiveWave and Quantower and this video came at just the right time and will definitely help me make my decision. Thanks again.

[@nomadic_marc]

Great video as always from Daniel. Very in-depth. I'm going to give Motivewave a try because of this video.

[@larryostler1084]

Excellent video, easy to follow, taught me much more than platform videos! Thanks

[@caspersconcrete]

Best Motivewave video, giving the people what they want 💪

[@BigPython3.4.11]

Yes Daniel!! Thank you bro! BTW maybe add something about this being the best platform for Mac in the title? There's not a lot of content out there directed for Mac's.

[@Rmmmmmmmmmmk]

Dude! Thanks so much for posting this! To many traders hide their setups behind their paid courses. It’s awesome you’re sharing this with us!

[@DanielInskeep]

no problem 👍🏻

[@LestatFPS]

Been trading for about 5 years now, and i love how youre able to keep it short and simple, on a not so short and simple topic(even though this is just going over the trading platform) lol love the vids! youre also not pushing a course lmao

[@tobe259]

Great content as usual.

[@moneyavemac7505]

Great video! If you get time one day would love to see a video of your Motivewave setup charts and footprints

[@ivomihov591]

Great video! Thank you!

[@northfieldtrades]

Great trading platform for Mac users! A bit of a learning curve, but tons of features and love that they have an iphone app to monitor trades. Huge benefit for me. Learned a few new things about the platform. Thanks!

[@knowledgeispower3212]

Thanks for the help , im eyeing out how to use motivwave and havent had that much time to set it up

[@steven6358]

Great info thanks for sharing!

[@DanielInskeep]

you got it, steven!

[@palmetto.]

this is a really great walk-through video. I tried learning MW a while back and hated it lol. Maybe I would have stuck around longer if I'd had this video to guide me along.

[@palmetto.]

This vid inspired me to re-try MotiveWave and get away from Tradovate 🙏🏻

[@RachelGulottaFitness]

a great video by a true american hero.

[@Somethingname]

Good stuff

[@eduardosouza6686]

Hi Daniel, great video. I noticed you use bookmap for the heatmap study, which made me wonder why since MW has that feature too. Do you think bookmap is better? If so, do you mind explaining why?

[@Ganondalf33]

Hey man what is your streaming setup? Im wanting to get into streaming my trading soon and im curious what computer specs and everything else you use since I like how your streams look

[@mrpuff9321]

So is this a trading charts or a futures broker. Can’t remember what brokers you use, can you tell me. Gonna try to switch from forex to futures. Thanks

[@afnanzass]

Hi if I’m using the rithmic apps on my phone, and also using the motivewave on my mac, do i need to subscribe the 2nd login session for rithmic? Thanks a lot.

[@SuccessWithMichaelAngelo]

Daniel! I'm a virgin trader myself. In other words, I am absolutely brand new to the world of trading. Do you have any recommendations/ suggestions as to where I can learn about it all and start? Books, and/or videos to watch? I'm more of a kinesthetic learner so video learning would be best. Please help? You're the only one I've seen that is fully transparent about trading and who to learn from, follow, etc... Thanks Bro!

[@MrKnifeart]

I have to decide between quanttower and motivewave. I'm only interested in the DOM (I have Ninja on another monitor). So I'm interested in the DOM limit orders, changing contract size or moving orders on the DOM. And the narrower the less room it takes up on my monitor. Any opinions?

[@mrzwerusa]

can i coonect vantage market with orderflow from motivewave?

[@haydens2351]

Hi Daniel, your videos are great! Very glad I found your channel. A question with your Apex accounts, do you need to use R Trader Pro to set up your Apex accounts to work via Mac? I purchased an Apex account but can't set it up so maybe I will just have to go back to Tradovate :( Thanks

[@DanielInskeep]

yeah, i had to run r trader on parallels first to sign the paperwork, but then you only need it to monitor your auto liquidate threshold.

[@izuchukwudinma1896]

Great Video. How does real-time data work? If I have a Topstep account do would i need to buy additional data?

[@DanielInskeep]

no, topstep provides the data.

[@bendingreality-]

Excellent video! Can you copy trade Topstep and Apex simultaneously?

[@DanielInskeep]

no, i don’t believe you can

[@izuchukwudinma1896]

Thank one more question. Would i have get Level 2 data from Topstep? I have level 2 Data CME data with Amp futures on Rithmic. Would i still have to buy the Level 2 Data from Topstep?

[@DanielInskeep]

i don't think you would need it.

[@Lynnh_trades]

Does the free version still work to execute trades and can you copy trades from different prop firms ?

[@DanielInskeep]

not sure - i’d ask motivewave directly.

[@DannySWalker]

hey, can i use the copier for multiple conpanies? for instance, apex and topstep, at the same time? one copying to the other?

[@DanielInskeep]

no, because your login credentials into motivewave would just be for one company.

[@Disclosureclips01]

Is paper trading free on MotiveWave???

[@TheYoungWolf077]

Hello sir, I would love to use this platform with Apex funding but they require R trader pro to be open at all times while trading. How can you use this platform on Mac with R trader pro since R trader pro only available to Windows. Thanks

[@DanielInskeep]

you can use parallels. it doesn’t HAVE to be open, but it’s a good idea.

[@phinszoomin6795]

Same here doesn’t let me download rtraderpro or ninjatrader platform on my iMac Not sure how you did it

[@DanielInskeep]

@phinszoomin6795 you need to use software like parallels.

[@michcarras]

question brother, are you using rithmic or tradovate on motiwave. Don't seem to get Tradovate to connect to motiwave through Apex.

[@DanielInskeep]

afaik, tradovate is literally only for tradovate. rithmic will connect to motivewave and other platforms.

[@michcarras]

@@DanielInskeep thank you for the reply man! Appreciate the info.

[@christiaana1572]

can you use volume imprint in the standard edition

[@DanielInskeep]

you would need the order flow version.

[@oceanwave4142]

How about tradingview?

[@Twist-Trades]

How do you have mulit cloud work space with he order flow package? i got it but it says i am limited to only 1 cloud workspace?

[@DanielInskeep]

i'm not sure - i don't believe i've run into that.

[@Twist-Trades]

@@DanielInskeep Okay thanks for the Info! also thanks for the platform recommendations... i love it so far!

[@gnshoot]

Do you have a video where you explain how to connect Motivewave on Mac with Apex? Because I understand that I need rithmic for market data but I don't know how to do it on Mac in that case?

[@DanielInskeep]

you would need to run r trader using something like parallels. that's what i do.

[@corpusguy7]

Can you have more than one Rithmic connection at a time . Ninja doesn't allow it, hence looking for other options.

[@DanielInskeep]

you can... usually involves running rithmic trader first to allow plugins.

[@jorgeroman1116]

Hello, Can you please tell me whats the main difference between edge pro x and motive wave, why did you choose motive wave if edge pro x is cheaper? thank you

[@DanielInskeep]

the only real difference is edge pro x has a few pre-built templates that motivewave doesn't have. othrewise, they are identical. i bought motivewave outright, as opposed to leasing it - and i didn't know edge pro x existed when i first found MW.

[@jorgeroman1116]

@@DanielInskeep Daniel, thanks for your videos and response to my question.

[@jorgeroman1116]

@@DanielInskeep They have a few options when it come to purchasing the platform, example / order flow/pro /ultimate Can you please tell me which one did you buy to get all the features i see on your videos? thanks

[@DanielInskeep]

i mention it in the video. i bought the order flow version.

[@BarkerDuck3825]

I like MW a lot but some things might be impossible. I would like to have a 3 charts of the same group for ESU4; one of them market profile TPO, another 20range bar Imprint, and another 4000tick candle chart. I want to draw prices on my TPO chart and have them populate with the others. Is this possible?

[@BarkerDuck3825]

custom or new analysis forces the same study and changes across group, only thing that can modify is time frame on each chart. why is this such a mystery?

[@DanielInskeep]

you can use the same analysis with different bar settings / chart styles.

[@gunthere6656]

Which monitors do you use?

[@DanielInskeep]

a variety of LG monitors

[@lukatrades]

does it have seconds candles?

[@DanielInskeep]

yes

[@lukatrades]

@@DanielInskeep thanks!

[@ILithuaniaI]

Works for non-us countries (Europe?)

[@DanielInskeep]

i don’t see why not.

[@dlourenxo]

This works on Mac?

[@DanielInskeep]

yes, that is a main factor in why i use it.

[@joelwarren2993]

Do I use Motivewave? Nope Did I watch this tutorial anyway? Yep

thanks, joel!

yes, i am making dozens of dollars from that. well worth the time it took to make this video 🙄

[@vitsin87]

Why trade on a platform that you pay for when a perfectly good one is free?

[@DanielInskeep]

short answer: because some things are worth paying for. what’s the perfectly good one? tradovate?

ah yes, the ole 690 minute chart lol

[@DanielInskeep]

haha, for futures it just splits one trading day into two candles 💁🏻‍♂️

[@palmetto.]

@@DanielInskeep understandable

[@josevnueva7]

No need for all this. Any experienced trader will tell you this. If you want a simple proven strategy, use 20/30/50 EMA to see the trend clearly and use an RSI to identify when the trend could reversing to get out or start a new trade.

[@DanielInskeep]

this isn't a strategy video.

[@josevnueva7]

@@DanielInskeep it isn’t, but if you think about it, all this stuff is only useful to very few individuals that even understand how the price and math behind it correlates. For most, this is just another trading view with some modern looking indicators. Nothing that will actually help. I’d like to see you make a video on how much more profitable you become with this.

[@DanielInskeep]

@@josevnueva7 lots of people like to use footprint charts, so i thought it was useful to show how i have them set up. nothing else is that fancy.
