    IB Improvements (Part 2)

    I believe that Def said that hotkeys would work with stop orders but I still don't see this working. Thanks

    Back up Broker for IB

    I just opened a backup account with Elocal and got J-Trader installed and setup. My first impression is that it pales in comparison to the simplicity of TWS. It requires a ton of screen space which is at a premium for me. The thing that I miss the most is the hotkeys, everything requires a...

    I am looking for a "J hook" book

    Here is a link to a review of Joe Ross books by the late Bruce Babcock. http://www.webtrading.com/ross.htm You have to go down aways to find the comments. I have the book 'Trading the Ross Hook'. Someone recommended the Ross Hook to me, but I am not of the impression that it's anything...

    Elite Trader Wishlist

    >> Baron: I'm a little hesitant on that one because many members register because they want to post a comment right on the spot. I was referring to creating new topics, not adding comments to existing ones.

    Trading listed vs Nasdaq

    Here is a link to an excellent Forbes magazine article about the ongoing manipulation of the Nasdaq. A little bit dated but I doubt much has changed. http://www.tradevision.com/Training/Fun_games.htm

    Display Problems

    Yes it sounds like your video card. You can certainly confirm it's not your monitor by swapping a monitor with the other computer. Blurry text is usually a hardware problem and can't usually be fixed with software. One thing you can try is changing the refresh rates displayed. The DAC which...

    New E-Mini traders (under 25K traders) trading journal

    Looking at the 30 minute chart for the past two weeks I think that most people would agree that the 1226 area was a major S/R area. It bounced off this line 3 times before finally punching through, so you can expect some serious support when you are retracing back down to it. Just wanted to...

    Michael, I think it would help if you used Horizontal support/resistance lines. I used to use those nice diagonals but they are for the birds. Nobody cares about them but the person drawing them. Horizontal lines have some basis in reality. Note that 1226 was a major S/R line and that's...

    IB improvements

    When I enter a stop order, the hotkeys no longer work to change the price, does anybody else have this problem? Limit orders do not exhibit this behavior. In addition it would be nice if by default the stop-limit order could be used without going into the separate order dialog. Just assume...

    Nicodemus: It's like Michael said it was a tight trading range with no appreciable retracements once a trend is started. I've attached a file showing the morning for NQ. We can see starting at 7:12 we have a very orderly pullback, retraces like a dream with each bar about the same size(2...

    GaretJax: Don't take today to be the norm. I would say about once a month you will see a trading pattern like today. You can tell from early in the day that it will only trend in one direction by how tight the trading range is. Good Luck :)
