I'm also missing the Tradingview Charts in TWS. Thought it would be already included in the production versions, as this feature has been listed in the release notes for some time. But it actually hasn't been included yet? Or is it just missing on the Mac version?

Just two words: survivorship bias.

She is like a modern day's Abby Joseph Cohen. Veterans will remember... ;-)

Okay, I know it sounds arrogant and in hindsight, everyone is a genius. I get it. No, I don't own a private yet, because being good at one thing isn't enough. While my strength may be to be totally immune to mass hysteria, I suck(ed) at other things, like trading during low volatility. If you...

Obvious to whom? I pointed out that we were in a bubble in 1999 and got laughed at. I did the same in 2007 and got laughed at, and what's even funnier by one working in the banking industry. So... yes, it was pretty obvious for everyone who wasn't gullible as fuck but unfortunately that...

Celebrities are usually totally clueless about politics, why should they know more about the markets?

You have to add the column 'OCA group' (One cancels all) to the layout. After you created both parent orders, you type some unique group ID like "555999" into the OCA group fields of the parent orders – of course the same ID für both orders. When one gets executed, the other gets cancelled. (The...

Yes. It's a trade-off. That's also the reason why IMHO extremely high profit factors in backtests are suspicious. Profit factors well above 2 ... let's say 3, 4 or 5 are usually the result of excessive curve fitting. And that's absolutely logical. While there have to be some exploitable...

There are no 'easy' markets, because trading is always difficult. However, the most liquid markets (like the ES) are usually also the most efficient, in the sense that there are less exploitable anomalies.

Please note that i wrote "(Almost) nothing". Of course, some things work, but most people won't ever be able to exploit them.

The ES is simply the hardest instrument to trade. (Almost) nothing works there, for various reasons. Why people flock to it ... well, yeah, right, there is a whole industry out there telling gullible newbies that the ES is easy to trade. People doing that are either lying or totally clueless.

Am I right that you are usually taking one trade per instrument per day, except when there is no bullish or bearish bias? I think that's an interesting approach which seems much more sound than the usual 50-trades-per-day-in-the-ES-strategies.

After finally updating my 2.5-year old TWS to the latest version I noticed that the event calendar feature has undergone massive changes. While the filter function seems pretty nice, there are also no longer any start times for events shown in the daily calendar. You have to hover the cursor...
