What's the 90% stat? Something about fills at IB vs Tradestation?
The thing is, you also have to arrange for/pay for delivery TO your homestead. Seller isn't buying train/semi capacity to take this stuff to your...
I think so -- I never used that function in my own coding, and don't have a platform running right now to test it, so I can't be sure. But that...
That's a really good point. My trading is on the side (and mostly automated) -- I have a full-time job I like on its own merits -- and I sometimes...
But since you're asking how to stay focused on the screens: how about picking up a small side hustle that's purely screen based ... transcription...
You would need fixed rules, so if it's more of a feel approach, then you're right, automation isn't your friend. If you wanted to work toward some...
I'd think that retail traders would automatically close your position before you're at risk of having to accept delivery. But I don't trade...
Do you have a way to get PM high? I wonder if the OHLCPeriodsAgo function...
Indicator in the broader sense — looking at price/change/volume in some instrument to indicate buy/sell conditions in another.
I don’t see why a signal based on multiple indicators couldn’t be automated. Take a look at Tradestation or Multicharts; they have some built-in...
I use multicharts with IB. I run medium-to-low complexity scripts; I think they're mostly compatible with EasyLanguage, though some (like...
The problem with trend lines etc. is that they work only in certain situations. News, for example, will almost always blow through trend lines....
I agree. I don't mind their commission structure (with some routing tweaks, I rarely pay more than 15-20 cents/100-share order), but it'd be nice...
Thanks all. That's exactly what I've done -- put an outside RTH buy limit about 50c above the current price. And just in case my limit doesn't get...
This is going to sound like a newbie question, but I very rarely trade outside regular hours, and got caught short 100 shares of MSFT where the...
You can often wrap a ggplot chart into plotly, like: y <- ggplot2(...) + geom_(...) plotly(y) I'm not sure when it works and when it doesn't,...
Like everything, it works sometimes, in some conditions. TA can work well in markets (or individual tickers) that aren't currently driven by...
They also had that get-a-free-stock campaign for new signups. It’d be interesting to see how many of these new accounts trade with some regularity...
That’s right, I forgot you’re using micros. Plenty of liquidity there as well if you really need to scale.
Very nice. Are you able to scale this once you're comfortable with the performance, or do you see difficulties on that front? I've been...
