I've read through their site, and unfortunately they say nothing regarding wash sales that occur in the middle of the year.
I've been reading through related threads, and some people give the advice that if you don't trade in December and January, then you don't have to...
If I buy and then sell the same equity twice within the same calendar year (i.e., I am completely out of the position prior to the end of the...
Great suggestion. Thanks for your help!
I'd like to use IB's Excel "sample" spreadsheet to carry out more complex conditional equity orders. However, I'm not sure if the spreadsheet is...
But doesn't that just guarantee that you would get out at the opening bid, and not necessarily the opening price? That's can be a significant...
Thanks to all that've responded so far. I'm primarily in NASDAQ stocks, though occasionally in NYSE stocks as well. I don't mind getting...

Don, A kid straight out of undergrad won't have any meaningful capital to enter into your program, and would most likely rely on his parents...
Stop losses have always been difficult for me to model on backtesting systems, particularly on overnight holds. However, for a system that is...
I've read everywhere that the normal trading times for the NQ is 9:30 to 16:15 and that the afterhours market is from 16:45 to 9:30 of the next...
Well, after this thread, I'm convinced that conservatism is key, and that any scalping system that relies on capturing 1-2 points just won't work....
That sounds pretty extreme, particularly for a scalp. Wouldn't it be better to say that for a long entry, if the open of the next bar is lower,...
Thanks for your input. Interesting approach, targeting the open rather than the close. I was wondering though, when you put in an order for the...
First of all, thanks to all who've been answering my questions so far. I'm backtesting a system now (in Excel) that scalps the NQ based on...
