Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

I wonder of those simplified rules could be coded into an automated system. I know I can test 'tick level' systems in NeoTicker, would be an interesting exercise.

 

Did you install the tws api software? Did you configure tws to allow api connection?

 

This is a paper trade I did today for 10 pips profit....

 

ES YM so far ....hope all you got bar #5 FTT it was a nice one ...

 

I picked one doozy of a day to start trading again (off for 3 weeks for a rehab/move).

I count 11 change signals (r2r or b2b) on the YM in row. Adjacent signals.

My ES for today

 

I have 2 pictures that describe the problems that I am having getting Mak's spreadsheet to work with IB. One problem is the SYMBOL ES_FUT_200606_GLOBEX_USD in cell B3.
I am not familiar with this syntax for eminis. I am assuming this will be changed to ES_FUT_200704_GLOBEX_USD ( the 04 is for april). Is this correct?

Next I have 2 jpeg images that shows the messages that I am getting. The first message is about opening a workbook and the next message about myid.exe not being found.

I have installed the IB API and IB is configured to enable DDE clients.

Can anyone help?

thank you
