    IB quotes slower?

    They may have tightened up the session end calculations. HSI used to have the last day's P&L bleed into it for the whole of the first session but now it goes early on giving a clean view of the days P&L.

    Interactive Brokers - wrong symbol

    PM def or sal and give the ALL the details so that they can investigate. It doesn't sound like anyone else here has seen a similar problem.

    To what extent do you use indicators?

    What's happening is that the points are getting mixed up. Because IronFist went back to a 50/50 coin apex thought he missunderstood one element of what he was talking about which was a 70/30 coin. But the real issue as you say is the monte carlo fallacy which applies to truly random events...

    To what extent do you use indicators?

    OK cm, you also asked for "errors." My point in the last post was to try to get across what I felt CC was trying to help you to see but lets try anyway. This is going to be horribly pedantic and I wouldn't bother doing it but you asked so I'll try. No, I deleted my list. The point isn't...

    To what extent do you use indicators?

    Cashmoney, You said: "IronFist, from now on when I reply to a thread I feel like I'm going to have to warn not just you, but everyone I respond to from now on that because I was not able to turn a net gain last year, that me, responding to this thread is going to somehow ruin your trading...

    To what extent do you use indicators?

    Well cashmoney, you did say, "watch the negative posts roll in." You didn't quite get Cocaine's point in the top/bottom thread. So let me have a go at it and he can correct me if I'm wrong (then I'll address other things you said). 1. Cocaine said: "Look, I think that you will be...

    Internet connection speed

    In simple terms ... No. Unless you are doing some machine based scalping your own reaction times will be the key issue and vary from 250ms (best possible case) to 750ms (most likely) in a simple test like catching a falling ruler. If thinking about your rules is involved it will be longer...

    keep traying to pick tops and bottoms

    Rasl, I know this problem and paid a great deal for my slowness in overcoming it. 1. Listen to Lescor not Cashmoney (check lescor's P&L postings if you have any doubt about this view). 2. Get Brett Steenbarger's new book on trader performance. Look at the behavioural and cognitive...

    Anyone buying Vista?

    If you use an upgrade disk you need a real install disk to prove that the upgrade is ok. An old w98, wme or nt install disk would be fine.

    there comes a time in trader's life, when instrument matters not

    I am surprised by your confidence with respect to the ability to deliver reliable internet services on time. A friend of mine was Telco manager for a major multinational a few years back and described some amazing nightmares over a few beers. The country and people were great though. Let...

    Woodies CCI

    Its a normal cci, length 14. The other things are responses to problems that people had trying to take trend pullback trades. They attempt to qualify trend.

    Woodies CCI

    LOL. He was never a salesman. If you think that you haven't listened to him. He was (and may still be) an individual trader who could (can?) make what he does work. Can others? Read Brett Steenbarger's new book and you'll realize that everyone won't be satisfied by the same method.

    How to make computer run charting more efficient

    dcraig is right ... if you monitor file access its only in loading that firefox does a lot of disk work. I use a free ramdisk to run Sierra Chart ... I basically set up a 70M space in my 2000M of ram and copy the 25M Sierra chart directory into it before I start trading. Then I have a batch...

    Trading Mini Nikkei SGX Futures

    SGXNK is a now the mid sized contract. There is now a mini contract out of Japan which may be what you mean. In both cases you can trade them with Interactive Brokers.

    Anyone uses an older PC with XP to trade?

    You don't need to go to 1G but for the price of ram you might as well. Even 384k pulls XP out of the just enough to "plenty" stage and 512k will usually be miles - check your application usages.

    Trade2win.vs Elite Trader

    As a long time member of both sites I have found more "useful" material here that at T2W. But anyone who's been in the game for a while and figured it out will find little of value on either site. They are both really beginners sites (just look at the number of 2006 and 2007 ids and the crap...

    Winning or Making Money?

    Best post I've read here for a while. Nice to read something by someone who knows what they're talking about. Re the hybrid. I hold longer for part of my positions in two conditions which have high probability of continuation beyond my normal target. In both cases I am breakeven plus...
