I've spent all weekend fooling around with the various trailing stop gizmos. So far, this is the only one I got to work. I kind of cringe when...
version, Another fruitless morning trying to get traderguard to work with IB demo. It shouldn't be this hard. I don't work for anybody but myself....
IB is like eating at a restaurant where the food is absolutely horrible but you keep going back for one more disgusting meal simply because it's...
At any rate, I downloaded the demo and it won't fit on my screen. The right edges of the short side are cut off. Now I'm no salesman, but it seems...
Lojze you rascal. Is this your program? I can't reply until you fess up about the night charts. Looks pretty nice. The only problem is you need to...
breakout, You don't place a hard stop to protect against system failure? I do, but sometimes I wonder if it is not costing me more in the long...
and they need to come up with a catchy name. a/c/e just doesn't cut it. Now leave out the slash marks and capitalise it, and you have the ACE....
cbot screwed up when they pit traded DJ. They exist solely for the benefit of their members. This could have been a fantastic product if they...
You can get quotes directly from the cbot for only $10/month. Sign up on homepage. but need to call on phone to cancel. Watch them and then ask...

First of all, IB doesn't do it like my broker does. I only say this based on an email I got from IB stating that they won't execute after hours...
No doubt about it. Every day has 4 seasons. Somewhere someplace someone has probably done a study showing the probablities of intraday trends...
If I think I can get a point, I'll put it on. If I do get a point, it depends on how it got there. If it got there on noise, I take it. If it was...
reply to: 1 point? $50/contract (eg es). How do you manage the small stop without getting bounced out? If it's so easy to get stopped out at a...
Then again, I guess you could go out on daytrade margin with 25k put on 20 lots with a 1 pt stop. Lord knows I wish I'd done that when the market...
Oh yeah, I forgot, with 2 pt stops you sure do get stopped out a lot!
Me personally, I like to risk 2% of total equity on every trade. No matter what the broker allows, I allow one es for every $5,000. So with...
