Simple answer to OP question: No; thats why its called trading, not stealing. Complex answer: I find that, with study of price, and maybe a moving average of two as visual assistance I can detect probable trend initiating vs non trend initiating behaviour in A market. Probable is the...

So do mine. Can I expect HSI to move from simply psychotic to utterly fucking nuts?

And he committed suicide.

Good post Mike. I thought grob's one about the problems being "learnt" and physiological rather than psychological was interesting. Although as usual he was overcome with grandiosity and couldn't recognize when he was in agreement with people like steenbarger. Steenbarger talks about...

Google Denise Shull. Download her video's. Look for ANNA. Then feel the fear, hear the thoughts, and take appropriate action. As you already know, it requires work and energy but its doable.

Given that a statement change could be a correction in an error (which this one with KOSPI might be given that dont was arguing with CS about the right way to treat these things) ... Wouldn't you be better off printing your executions on the day? Then you have the raw material to do the...

I have long believed that the two best choices for Fx were likely to be Oanda and IB. I once had another fx account but didn't enjoy the impure bucket shop model they practiced. I liked IB for the ECN model. I liked Oanda for the size flexibility and fully self contained well respected...

Certainly the IB demo has always been "just a demo" and not suited for anything more. And all of the front end suppliers rightly discouraged using it (as does IB ... it just gives you a feel for tws commands). I don't know about the paper trader account. If you open a real account you can...

Many of the ET survivors (look multiple years not multiple months of membership) have found the IB API to be very reliable for thousands of trades over many years. Then again we probably don't believe that everything has to be coded in C++ to give useful performance. That's not to say that...

I've never noticed a problem (using zeroline trader and lots of bracket orders every day on ib live account) Two things you could do that might improve things by increasing TWS's performance and system priority - 1) Change your TWS load sequence to use the -server java vm which is faster...

Its only guaranteed if the thread is really stupid or it attracts a bunch of the really stupid. Although sometimes one is enough for a little sport. Dont make me tell you who :)

Why would you want to do that. Can't you find thin manipulated stock somewhere else?

Find a full service broker and ask you about the things they will do for you. That's hand holding. IB was one of the original discount brokers (Brown was another who were even stronger on not hand holding). Their business model is low cost, high automation, high speed, broad access --- and...

If you use Sierra Chart for your charting then you can set the chart refresh rate to suit yourself. Then you can leave the dom bouncing at full speed for those times you need it.

Its after the main close of the US markets. http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/systemStatus.php?ib_entity=llc

I like Sierra. Re standalone vs off the web. Not unless you have specific java vm commands you want to run. Both run java and Ib uses the same vm commands for each ... its just that the web version pulls down the latest version if there has been a change from the one in the java cache.

I like that theory Cutten. It also goes well with Harry Dent's work on demographics/technology adoption in the main market places for the Chinese growth engine. And also some less reputable cycle work :)

Time to change to Sierra Chart if the problem you are talking about is occuring with the HSI futures contract (currently HSIU7) :) It does show volume (and volume charts) and tick counts (with backfill time granularity being the limit) for backfilled data from the futures contracts. It...

Agreed with the earlier posters. Thanks IB. Also, with the question: is this on HK, Eur yet?
