LOL. I'd love to be able to be smug and not get hammered for it. There's a skill !

Two (lol, helpful) suggestions: 1) You don't have to make anything on these days if for 90% of the days (normal days) you make money most every day. I personally do better on normal days than huge days but that's the price of my strategy and discipline. 2) Another approach in high...

If you design your strategy for markets behaving in one way (ie not making the biggest gaps in history or the biggest days (like hsi yesterday)) then one approach is simply not to trade. Its very tempting to think one should make money all the time.

Sierra Chart can do it too.

Who gives a fuck? What are you? Traders or Investors (Man or Mouse)? Trade what you get and enjoy it. Don't obsess about which way like a bunch of old women.

In the end it all depends what you need. I pressed IB with help from people on this board to generate their 5 second bars (not how I'd originally envisaged it) and I now use Sierra Chart to combine 5 second bars (for accuracy) with live data (for responsiveness) to create "TrueLive" data for...

Its an enhancement. "New Customizable, Easy-to-Read Account Window The Account window has been completely redesigned to make it easier to read and simple to customize. Your account information is the same but it's laid out so that key information is easier for you to find. And you still have...

Laughing My Arse Off goes with Rolling On The Floor Illustrated: When I look back in 18 months and, recalling a spat with an idiot called Go4, I note he'd disappeared a month or two later, I fell about LMAOROTFL :) And on a good day, you'll find that the fools will reveal their true...

Ahhh ... the wanker arrives. Time to stop paper trading and telling us how big and important you are ... wanker. :D :p :D Let us know how good you are in 18 months when the market has turned you over and spat you out. Like most of the other's I've identified as wankers or twats on ET -...

And the first 15 minutes of the afternoon session goes .... <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1546464">

What about evaluating what parts of the day contain most of the highly liquid moves and only trading then. I trade HSI which means a 2 3/4 hour session, a 2 hour lunch break, and a 1 3/4 hour session that I normally cut short by 15 minutes. Add 30 minutes at the beginning to prepare for the...

Best gap I've seen for a while (542 points close to open). I don't know about other HSI traders but I just take a break when we get super-gaps - reading likely direction becomes too challenging.

Only when they behave like wankers equalizer.

gang04 ... your attempts to rewrite history aside ... you are still a wanker. :p :D :p But please, put your paper trading and excuses to the side. Come, join us and trade the HSI.

And as with most of these issues: 1. Note where the packet loss is occurring (not at IB) 2. Note that this is loss of a particular type of packet response from a particular router. It may not generalize in any way to your IB connection. However, you are correct that if you were...

You could take a one month subscription to Sierra Chart (or even trial it for a week; its a great product, you might like it :)) and then use SC to export their data to text files.

Ignorant ... no. Respect for Go4 ... no. Respect for U ... no. Respect for others ... absolutely. But U, like your little buddy, are a wanker. :p Go4 started this thread with a shock horror title accusing someone of something that was not their fault. He is both ignorant and...

LMAO ... you still don't get it. You probably never will. It will always be everyone else's fault ... you'll always be piss"ed" off. You are, as explained before, a wanker. :D :p :D

Correct information. :) He might be better off having two accounts on two servers rather than having the lag of US>HK>US and the increased risk. Of course, if losing interest on two lots of $10,000 is a big thing to him then he's going to find that suggestion unacceptable. :eek:
