Here fixed it for ya! Schaefer

Tick, and Volume data must be collected real time, if you're using IB-QT combination. Otherwise you'll get messed up data. You could delete the bad prints one at a time, but it's really time consuming. Schaefer

Now that's an honest joke :D Good luck R, Schaefer

R, sorry to hear...., I enjoyed following your journal. Best of luck :) Schaefer

Couldn't comment on your risk matrix, as I'm not a fan of fixed stops. However, I am a big fan of daily stop loss. Don't focus too much on the money/capital; been there done that, just focus on following your plan, and doing it right. Money would follow...:D Schaefer

Good job R, congrats! Don't be hasty to jump to 2 contracts. Keep trading until you're totally comfortable with 1 contract. If you keep your daily stop loss in place, it would be very hard to blow out the account. Over trading, and pre-mature exits can be avoided via strict discipline. For...

Very nice, congrats! :) Schaefer

Since you already own, and enjoy the Sig immensely, why don't you just get another Sig in 9mm, and call it the day ? :confused: If you're planning on getting something different, first you have to decide the role of the pistol. Is it mainly for the range, for carry, home defense etc. The...

I've been using the registered version of QT for years. But I don't think jacking up the fees 100% is "right". It's still cheap at $14/month, but I think, I'll start looking for alternatives. Schaefer

Obviously, he's gonna use the thousand rounds of ammo, and his assault rifle to get whatever he needs from people like you...:D Well, that's what I would do, and I'm sticking to it :p Schaefer

Anything outside RTH (Regular Trading Hours) is considered overnight, and requires overnight margin. Schaefer

I'm in the same boat, so I feel your pain. I guess, I'll be confined to the Asian markets for the rest of my life :( Schaefer

It works fine here, just click it to open, then click on the expand button at the bottom right. Schaefer

Thanks DonKee for your efforts. For those who are interested, this method also works very well on NQ with volume bars. But days such as yesterday would be losing days for this kind of trend following system. You could of course, protect yourself with some filters to minimize the damage...

At least you got as far as funding the account. In my case, I started with a demo account, then I emailed my rep, saying I'd like to go ahead and open a real account. Never heard back from him, that was about 3 weeks ago. But in a way that's good, since I found out before giving them my...

+1 on what he said. Sierra, or QT won't be able to help you, as IB's tick data feed is not true tick by tick feed. Schaefer

QT is just a front end program, not a data vendor. It is up to the source of your data feed. In this case, I'm assuming you're using IB, in which case, lots of luck :eek: Schaefer

Taclander pretty much nailed it :D But what he described was meant for real traders, who pretty much does trading for living. If you're just starting out, and trying to learn the ropes trading 1 lots (part time), then your first priority should be to keep the overall cost down. You don't...

Hi Vinny, you don't have to have a chart open to collect data. You could just put the ticker symbol in the portfolio list, and it will collect the data in real time. As for IQFeed, it really depends on your needs. But if you use tick charts, then it really is a must have. If you use time...

Okay, got it, thank you. It clearly shows the mean line being retested in the lower time frame, no need to post another chart. Please continue :) Schaefer
