ok, can someone help me understand how this occurs? 2006.06.14 08:29:56 -> last price: 1.2572 -> last size: 2 2006.06.14 08:29:57 -> last price: 1.2549 -> last size: 1 how, on a last size of 1, does the last price move 23 pips? i can understand if i saw a last size of 100, that makes...

It generates an event. tickPrice() event, and tickSize() event (if my memory serves me correctly). To utilize this functionality, in your MAIN program, override these two methods and do some System.out.println()'s to get a feel for what comes out. To start these two events, you must call...

I use interactive brokers... if I have SELL SHORT 10 contracts, I am at -10 lots. Let's say the market turns 5 points against me.. to reverse "a portion" of the position, I do not know how to.. If I enter a BUY of 5 contracts, it simply takes my cumulative position to -5. I am still losing...

I am a novice, so please take my comment for what it's worth.. but as I read this, I can't help but think that this sounds very close to "hoping the market turns in your favor" ?? Or are you saying this "in" feeling is the advanced traders feeling out the "price action"? Elaborate...??

is this basically "countertrend" like that guy in the chatroom trades? or is this just "hoping on the temporary pullback"? once i define a resistance level, such as 1273, have you found that it normally goes to say 1273.75, or 1274.50, etc. and THEN pulls back to say 1272? or have you found...

Macro, Won't you lose a lot of money when you "reverse" your positionS that you have at every increment currently in place ? I know if you didn't reverse, you would lose more, but I would think reversing all positions on a definite loser is a big hit on the books? Do you basically "go all...

Do they use market orders to slice through many PIPS at a time (sell 500 MKT with bids of 40/50 down can shoot the price 7-10 pips right?)? Are there any other techniques?

can anyone answer this for me? :)

OK. I will try to find a decent copy. Don, what is your take on simply applying the strategy found here: http://www.hitorstand.net/strategy.php "strategy tables" specifically.. I know what the H (hit) means and the S (stay) means, assuming D is double-down, but i'm not sure about P.. is it...

i wasn't going to chime into the whole trading vrs gambling relationship but i guess i will give my .0002, i recently was taught how to play "texas hold-em" poker (last saturday actually).. and as i sat uncomfortably in my chair for three hours and watched how these veteran poker players...

no.. don't have to get into forex 101.. i just assumed you had some different strategy involving all leverage available or something of the sorts... sorry to bother.

ok.. i guess i am missing something.. "it can only go to zero" means a lot to me. if I have $5000 in an account, enter a BUY position on AUD/JPY at 87.60, once my net liquidation reaches $2000 ( for IB anyways), IB automatically liquidates (SELL ORDER) this position. I have just lost $3000...

I don't understand.. your dealer/marketmaker doesn't let you have a negative balance.. but is that because s/he will liquidate your assets when a net liquidation of 0 is reached? also, what kind of interest rates are we talking about.. the 4% money market type interest rates?

where do you live ES??? i'll buy you a beer to hear your spiel on leverage :)
