If you set up a bracket order in IB using the "attach bracket order" feature... with a buy stop limit order as the entry, a sell stop order underneath to act as a stop loss, and a sell limit order above to automatically take profits… If the stop loss order is hit before the entry order is...

http://www.navitrader.com/cds.html#Interactive%20Brokers Im thinking about buying this dvd, but im hoping some IB vets could take a look at the list of highlights about the dvd and tell me how difficult it would be to figure out on my own, or if there is a cheaper/free/easier way to figure...

more on support/resistance in multiple scopes... very over looked in my opinion.

Good thread, very true... want to learn price? You have to do the work.... Fire up your printer and make a book of charts, go over them one by one, identify trends, identify the swings within each trend, mark the minor reversals within those trends, mark the major reversals of overall trend...

INTP too, for the guy who asked if we have trouble making decisions… I had trouble making decisions until I found my style and made a solid plan, once I worked out the plan… well, the market action either fit’s a technique in the plan or it doesn’t, the decisions have already been made...

The TRIN used to confuse me too… Its hard to describe in words because it is a ratio of ratios, but it shows you how concentrated the volume is among the advancers and decliners, and the TREND of the TRIN is the most important part. You can actually have more decliners than advancers, and...

this guy made a really good point about trading after 11:30, the market really seems to be out to lunch during lunch time east coast... the good action is towards the open and close of the market, mid-day is problematic. I only do very limited day trading though, I focus more on day trade...

they love it because they can rip you off? or is that sarcasm for they really dont like doing it? I've heard nyse specialists have to fill at the last price, is that what you're getting at? just to be clear, if you are a ptd already, you'll get crap off someone for using odd lots? from who...

stockcharts.com has a pretty good screener for end of day, not sure about the effectiveness in real time. you have to use the advanced screener with the scripting/coding if you want it to be worth your time, its pretty simple to learn. its about 20 bucks a month.... i haven’t tried many of the...

I am not an expert on this, but I am always trying to learn and educate myself, this is coincidentally what I am currently studying... so far I’ve been able to gather than it can depend on a combination of broker, exchange, and order type... different order types can either be native to an...

come on, somebody back me up on this one... you all know its the first step to actually helping this guy out if he is serious.

Continuing on with Oil being priced in dollars... isn’t the dollar supposed to be like the global reserve currency or something like that, not officially by any treaty, but mainly by preference within the international community... How much would credit would you account for this being due to...

If its true that we only get 15% of our oil from the middle east, and the Middle East mainly supplies Europe, and you’re wondering why the average American is mislead to believe that Middle East oil is “sooooo important” as you put it… then perhaps it has more to do with oil being priced...

Post your risk management rules, your trading plan, and a sheet of your tracking statistics into this thread... just do it.

eugenie98, try IB's webinar on TWS Real-time Activity Monitoring... theres a recorded one that you can view right now, and a live webinar coming up this month where I think you can talk to the presenter.

Even if a mentor taught you exactly what he does, unless you’re sitting there next to him duplicating his every move, and getting filled at the same price, no two trades are ever the same. There are too many instruments and time frames, everyone has their own risk tolerance and position size...

if i said yes, and i was right, i wouldnt give myself any credit for it, and i wouldnt expect any credit from anybody else... this move is suitable for a few swing trades on the long side... nothing more, nothing less.
