Jeez TH haven't you learnt anything since the last time I had to call you a wanker. TH, I have said it before and in this thread you have made it clear again. Not only do you wade in with (as usual) multiple STUPID anti-ib posts but then you attack another poster. And as usual in your...

Def, thanks, an alert/popup/etc would be great. Joesan, yes the current web version (876.1) provides correct timestamping of the backfill and also works well with the 5 second bars (what I call truedata). My guess is that it will be the downloadable version in a week or so as it seems very...

IB guys ... any thoughts on my question at the end of the first paragraph?

IB doesn't suck ... they're actually an excellent low cost highly automated broker. A question for Steve though --- my bulletins cause TWS's bar to flash but because I don't execute with TWS or chart with TWS I don't see them. Is there a setting to make the bulletins create popups or grab...

HK is an island based around Sea transport. They may be worried about problems with internet infrastructure in ducts. They will certainly be concerned about how their staff get home (ferry's being cancelled). HK is HK. Where else do we get the pleasure of a 2 hour lunch break. :)

I was pleased not to have a valid signal when the exchange went down. If you want to hedge HSI do it with ES ... just estimate the risk of a move on HSI from a corresponding ES move (use recent gaps to scale it). If there is a big HSI gap it will be because of the US markets ... nothing else...

What are you ... traders or mice. Just enjoy it :)

You're just a can't trade surfer ... like your wanker buddies, covell and canfield.

Its just surfer sucking up to his loser buddies again.

Let us know when you move out of witnessing as it happens (or happened) to predicting what will happen and trading it correctly. The witnessing phase is probably just a seductive illusion.

Surf and canfield are just can't do wankers stirring the pot Mark. Ignore them or just check in for a laugh from time to time. Funny as ... I just wish they were putting some money down to grease the markets' wheels.

Try 876.1 (the webloaded beta). I'm using it because it fixed a different problem but it seems very stable (and better :))

Look up wattstrading. Ryan's method could be applied to currencies successfully and will cost little of your remaining dollars to give you a workable strategy. Then its up to you to do the hard work.

They will switch back as soon as they think "normal" volatility has resumed. They don't want to stay high because it makes them less competitive but at the same time they don't want to risk their business (and our accounts) by letting lots of idiots run up losses that blow their accounts.

Damn, and I thought there might not be one. But when this guy offers an opinion its better to fade it.

The likelihood is that futures is greater because its more volatile and it also includes the 15 mins before and after the stock market opens/closes.

Gaps are just a cost of the game and something you should allow for in developing your strategy. Use stop limits (big limit gap though) if thats the issue. Not having a stop in the market is a recipe for disaster in a learning trader (and many who consider themselves experienced). It...

You do need to do a lot of your own research but .... When markets make big moves they need to digest them (and be sure that the current area is value) before moving on so big big days are usually followed by digestion (but not always). I never have the faintest what the day will bring - I...

I don't talk about specific trades - it tends to stuff me up. My timeframe and length of trade is probably a lot shorter than yours - my maximum stop is 9 points, typically 6 or 7.

Pretty nice today too red. More predictable (by me anyway) so suits me better. Bogan, Play nice! (lol, coming from me). Although percentages are not as stunning we've seen the biggest points gap and biggest day all in a week. And the volatility certainly changes the entry requirements...
