IB users: Be aware that TWS apparently has a major glitcth with the way bars are time stamped for real time and historic data. Seems that this causes major problems with the way charts update. It wasn't a problem in previous versions and no one from IB seems to respond to requests for help.

Anybody still have the 872 install file, can't find mine :(

I don't know if this is related, but I've just recently had a problem with IB and Ensign, intrabar the volume shows very low and then if I manually refresh the volume pops up. I've had to resort to refreshing my chart about everything 30 seconds on critical bars.

As far as I've been able to figure this is not possible. I created a special recording workspace where all the charts are sized into a single screen size.

You only need lines at +2 and -2. Am I missing something?

Why in the world would you want to convert to earned income. You'll be paying an additional 15% tax off the TOP for Self employment Tax on the first $100k or so you earn.

Gman, this is the way I would see it (granted in hind sight as I only did AM): 15:40 bar price was in it's right to left traverse. 15:45 bar is an inside bar (lateral) but on INCREASING volume, which suggests the market can't move higher. I would then think 15:40 was indeed an FTT. 15:50 bar is...

I can't begin to tell you in strong enough words how true this is. Not only was I jumping fractals and missing it, I spent endless hours trying to convince Spyder I wasn't, LOL. I was CERTAIN there was NO way I was jumping fractals. Finally, after months of work, I saw I was constantly jumping...

Dan, I just clicked on the first link and it comes up with the password window. I leave the password window blank, just click ok, and it takes me to the page with the download items.

My 2 cents: ditto, strong strong ditto

Sorry, I somehow missed the other portion of your question. According to Spydertrader this method (for lack of a better description) works in any market, PROVIDED sufficient liquidity exists in the time frame you propose trading it.

Just start at the beginning of the journal and slowly work through it. Focus most on the posts made by Spydertrader, who has been guiding us all. Do NOT try and play catch up. Take a pace that is comfortable to you. All the instructions you need to get going are contained within the pages of...

When I read this it was like I was back in college and saw the mathematical elegance of how Calculus works for the first time. I had a big smile AND steam coming out the ears. Jack, this totatlly blows my mind because it makes so much sense. This has a profound impact on my thinking about the...

I thought Musgrave's on-purpose t-boning of another car while still on track, pushing the other car right into the wall and then blowing off the interviewer with a "I don't care about the replay" deserved mention too. :)

Hi Pepe, I like your matrix, but wish to point something out to you. Assuming each element of the matrix is defining change/continuation on the same resolution level, then dec red in an uptrend (for example) is CONTINUATION, not CHANGE. It is change on a lower fractal or resolution level...

Hope you don't mind, but I'll take a stab at this. From your comment about "potential pt 3 in down channel", please note you can only have one pt3 per channel. I may have it wrong, but from your wording it sounds like you may think pt3's show up multiple times in the same channel. If so...

I hadn't posted a chart in a while and thought I'd post what I did today just for fun. Mostly done in real time, with a short break (don't recall exaclty when). Still not perfect, but way better than before.

Windwalker, as I believe you're really trying to figure this all out and make a go of it (as opposed to simply being a troll) I'd like to take one more stab at a response. Several people have suggested you do it manually and that it would serve you best to do this. The reason is simple: it will...

I'm sure someone else will have a more accurate answer, but just to get you some fast info, I'm pretty sure IB won't let you hold a position into expiry. I think they will force liquidation at least a couple days before contract expires.

Wind... I am not aware of any such automation and if indeed it existed would strongly urge you to NOT use it. If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed with all you have to do it's simply a sign that you need lots (and I mean LOTS) more practice. It truly gets easier (really quite pleasurable...
