While you are saving your 5k you can paper trade (no money) your strategy. This will let you test your strategy (but not your ability to execute it when real money is on the line). Don't fake it, try to make the decisions as though money was on the line and make a reasonable allowance for...

IB, It used to be that if you wanted to trade asia you homed off the HK server for minimum latency. Similarly off the US server for US markets. And if you homed of HK it was assumed that your US data went via HK. Now though, when homed off HK, I see server connections opened in the US...

Yes. Tick charts using IB data work well. I collect and display the tick data with Sierra Chart but I suspect that most other programs will do it too including TWS's inbuilt charting. FWIW SC is an excellent program and will let u do time based, volume based, tick based and range based bars...

For crying out loud Cscott. Just leave IB and let the rest of us trade happily with them. I'm sure that would improve their profitability and their ability to provide services for the rest of us. You'll be happier. IB will be happier. We'll be happier. Hell, the world will be a better...

Not really true SyndBroker. You simply use a different tick rate to what you might use on an "all ticks" service delivery (about 2/3 to 3/4) and it works very well. The basic principle of spreading the price bars during high transaction activity still applies and works well for what I trade...

LOL. The funniest thing I've seen of yours. Excellent :)

LOL. But the child we see here is malicious. No game required ... perception is sufficient. Persistent too. I might just leave you to play by yourself.

From a TA perspective this is an interesting post. The poster pretends to post from the adult perspective but is really running a game from his or her malicious child.

The classically approachable and populist book was called "I'm OK, You're OK"

cmaxb, Are you referring to differences in: - price data - volume data - transaction counts? IM experience you miss the odd price extreme (just doesnt get into the price flow in real time); volume data can be "wrong" when your charting package is trying to construct it from a flow of...

The evidence (failure) suggests that the crowd does not trade: - with the trend - emotionlessly - profitably. Just as well or the profit we rely on wouldnt be as easy to come by :)

If I had one tenth of the grief you claim to have had from IB (and I haven't in nearly 8 years with them) I would cheefully roll my trades from IB to another broker. In fact, when I think about it, I can't believe you. If you hate IB so much then the cost of commissions to reopen the...

And not recommending that you need to use indicators a lot of the principles in Marcel Link's High Probability Trading are well worth thinking about. And remembering that once we had a clue about how to build an edge most of us discovered that our thinking got in the way of success try The...
