well, at least I am not mistaken here. the graphs are just not reliable. even adding a theoretical position in a what if scenario and then taking it off again results in a different risk graph than before... i have contacted CS, but so far they have not taken up the matter...

Hi guys, I am trying to use risk navigator to manage my portfolio of short options. However, I always come across strange behavior of the risk graph. Just wanted to check, if this is something others experience as well. For instance, when plotting the dotted line for the expiration date, it...

No it doesnt work, since that's what I've done. If you apply via Dough it will simply be a TD account no different to the normal way of application. Only you can get different commission with the promo code from Dough.

Well, I really wanted to use TOS and Dough, since the functionality fits very well my style of trading. It won't be as smooth with another platform. I guess there is no chance to get an exception from them. I guess I will have to go to IB as well. Thanks!

Hi guys, I am not sure, if this would be the right sub-forum.... I am wondering, what the orders in time&sales mean, which are filled between Bid & Ask. How is this even possible? How to interprete these orders with regard to buying/selling pressure? Thanks for help!

well, to summarize it seems there are some people, wo are confident about their algos. However I don't really see a pointer in the right direction so far, but that kind of fulfills my expectation. the folks, who trade profitably, will probably not hang out in message boards.

Hi guys, I have been studying now about rule based automated trading for about 1 year aside to my job. I consider myself somewhat familiar with algorithm design and programming. I am now using tradestation and have been designing all kinds of simple trading systems in Easylanguage, which...
