And? :)
It does seem easy just looking at a chart. I'll give you that.
I have tried this, using both market order and limit order methods. And for this type if micro-scalping, a simulator doesn't really cut it. The...
If only that were true. :) Discretion kills (newbs).
If you can automate your entry system, then don't make any entries by hand. One of the things I've done recently because I don't have the time to...
I just realized I made a goof in the stop and profit target code. The two lines should have been this: if target_in_ticks > 0 then...
TradeStation does have 6 months worth of tick data. However it will not currently look inside multi-tick bars (at each tick) during strategy testing.

How long have you been trading this method?
Thanks for making me feel old. :) Just out of curiosity... can you name the band with John, Paul, George, and Ringo in it. ;)
If you are undercapitalized to start, having a $7200/year automatic drain on your account because of the API sure isn't going to make things any...
FWIW, not every use of an API is automated trading. I do some of that, but I also have my own custom order entry screen that I generally prefer...
Oh well. Maybe someday they'll make it a more accesible API for little traders (like me). Long live IB's free API! :)
