    Lazy Afternoon Trading -

    ahhh yes......... i'm trading in Bangkok, Thailand - hence my trading morning session only - there's a 12 or 11 hour time difference depending on summer time hours thingies. I tried staying up 'til 4 a.m. a few times, but staying awake thru the lunch 'quiet' period was a pain. Made going to...

    Java problems with IB's TWS

    I tried WinME for a while. Gave up in disgust...... not really all that much more stable than WIn98 with all the fixes and crap installed (just some bells and whistles). I've now dual installed Windows 2000 (get Partition magic - makes the whole process as easy and safe as possible). No...

    IB and QuoteTracker

    I use Quicken quotes live for data and charting - very good. I used to use QT, but the lack of multi day intra day is a major drawback (QQL is 2 days for 1 minute intraday charts). The trading integration with Datek was the real plus though. I don't think the IB data feed is too much of a...

    3D Stock Charts

    Just stumbled on this, looks like a nice centralised ECN book viewer with unusual "3D" feel about it. I've seen in an old thread that Gary was using it - are you still? Anyone else had any experiences with them? thanks coops

    Anyone use Shortboy.com??

    Damn, Magna - you got there before me........ :D Now, this isn't independently audited but :- soon as I saw the name (I mean Vinny Gigante, dearie dearie me...), and the reference to his old fave, shortboy.... yup, he's back. Kind of enjoy it really - like rubbernecking a train...

    Chart Package for QQQ's

    chamol "but what others have is the ability to sign on once and open multiple charts, TOS, news, etc which you can drag and drop anywhere - I have 3 screens - and even by stretching QQL it cannot do this" QQL refers to the one overall window as a 'workspace'. Any chart or quotes or...

    Chart Package for QQQ's

    chamol I'm still learning trading, but like the no uptick shorting of QQQ. Now about QQL - not too clear exactly what you're looking for, so here's a couple of things I picked up (you can search thru this site for more QQL discussion aswell) :- When you launch QQL you'll find it will...

    Chart Package for QQQ's

    I use Quicken Quotes live - just under 40/month. No futures but otherwise very good - has 1min, 2.5 min (not quite 3min I know!), 5min, 15 min, 1/2 hr, hrly. daily,weekly timescales - and some good looking charts. Feed is reliable (more so than IB's recently). Nextrend is also an option - has...

    the SEC licks my crack

    aiyaaahh, you're disturbing my zen like calm with this topic...... don't even mention shorting and downticks.... ah, bugger. How about a rule for non-pro's to be unable to buy stocks unless there's been a downtick? Can't be having any of those dreaded long squeezes, eh. tchah, :p coops

    IB charging exchange fees

    I'm another QQL user - so would be delighted to be able to execute trades thru IB from within the QQL charts and quotes. Last few days IB quotes seem to be much less reliable (never mind the Level 2 problems). coops ps for QQL users info : I looked at wealthlab.com after seeing Vishnu...

    17" LCD Recommendation

    What is the useable resolution on the Sony 18" LCD? Currently I'm using 19" CRT at 1024x768 - any higher is just too blurry. I've often wondered what the jumbo 24" Sony monitor is like - anyone using this beast? A PC equivalent of MAC 20" LCD would be nice.... coops

    Trading listed vs Nasdaq

    candletrader is absolutely correct about Farrell's startegy only being useful in the old pre decimal days...... I mentioned him in reference to his descriptions of NYSE trading - in particular explaining the bid/ask spread. He goes to great lengths to drum this in, it's very repetitive and i...

    Trading listed vs Nasdaq

    I'd agree with Hitman re MWD - it looks like it should be a nice intraday stock to trade until you try... a good specialist (most of them?) will treat you surprisingly fairly. Price improvement is entirely normal (just get used to waiting up to 2 minutes for an execution :) ) . However there...

    Trading Strategies for Swing Trading and Daytrading

    neo_hr I'm also looking to follow the intraday trend - essentially following Alexander Elder's Triple Screening System from his "Trading for a Living" book. The book contains really good advice about what each of the popular indicators are useful for (and what they 're not). For instance...

    Trading Strategies for Swing Trading and Daytrading

    TonyOz - thanks, that link to the calculator worked fine - that's a strange one............. ps "Interesting how there's 2400 views of this thread but only 4 or 5 contributions? Is everyone doing so well and guarding their secret trading system, or not doing well and not wanting to corrupt...
