Traderum, You've taken this far enough now. Please start taking your medicine again. I'm sure it will not affect your paper trading.

I've been thinking about an IDEM seat lease or purchase. I've heard that the purchase amount can be used as collateral in your trading account.

short 1 QM from 77.025 stop 77.375 Target 76.550

The question I pose is for the 4lot trades but I have provided a list of my recent trades 10/5-10/13 http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ah23Oofug7j3dDJESzBLSmU5bmpRT0Vxc0xrNlltQkE&hl=en This is the account actual equity curve but it includes some cowboy trades that shouldn't be...

I'd like some feedback on the idea of taking a list of say 100 futures trades generated via a discretionary multilot trading methodology that involves an all in position entry and multilevel scale out methodology. ie one of three possibilities occur, a full position stopout, a target 1 reached...

LOL, look at the date :p

I trade ES primarily and I think 5 dollars for commish and 2 ticks slippage is correct for RT costs. 2.50+1 tick in and the same on closeout of trade. I think the other costs look good as long as they are traded electronically, otherwise I would double or triple them.

not sure what time frame your system is looking at but at $100/RT transaction cost, it must be intermediate term swing or long term trend following. Please do tell?

The best place to post this question would be tradestation.com in the support forum or are you a bootleg tradestation trader? The techsupport people can help you with code as well as the thousands of users.

Anyone trading under CME Rule 106.R? with Velocity. If you'd rather pm me that's fine.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm continuing my efforts with EL and I'm considering taking a basic programming course to augment my programming. Good Trading to All!

Hello All, I'm a beginning EL coder without a formal programming background. I can create basic indicators and systems but when I look at more complicated code I have alot of difficulty figureing out what the code is actually doing. I know that EL has alot of capability, I just feel a...

Does anyone have a excel spreadsheet or a formula for determining the margin requirement for various futures and options strategies. I'm looking at long futures/short call and vice versa.

Does anybody have a spreadsheet or formula for determining margin requirements on long futures short call or vice versa? Example: ES at 900.00 open a long emini s&p at 900 and sell a call at 910 strike or the equivalent position long s&p and buy a put at 890 or what ever strike or an ATM...

I had the same idea, I'm still trying to research the proper strategy. Trade off the daily or weekly chart and construct a delta neutral strategy.

Thanks for the contribution, I'm using Tradestation and will study the code and see if I can translate into easylanguage.

I know a 2.66 Dual core pentium isn't a 3.0 or better or an i7 but cant my processor use up to 4GB of ram with Winxp and I'm avoiding Vista right now? what exactly are you saying I need a quadcore or what? Given that Tradestation doesn't utilize multithreading how much of an advantage would...

Yes, I am patient but I don't know of any feasible way for me to test what I need to test. I am trading other systems currently but I'm always looking for better ones. No, Tradestation does not take advantage of multithreading/utilize multiple cores even though I think their website says...
