I asked because I've been there and it really sucks (maybe I should have clarified that's why I asked). Arm yourself with patience. Not only as Rashid mentions you're tired/stressed and trading a suboptimal time of the day, but you start trading with a "job" mentality (at least I did a bit) that...

Maybe, but in my view what is flat out stupid is upsetting your customers with a supposedly rapid-entry order DOM that requires to click on a confirmation pop-up. :confused:

FOMC minutes in 30, well, minutes. Might see some volatility.

Laissez-Fare, are you trading after coming back home from work?

Dejavu, if it's difficult for you to post real-time because you trade in a very short time-frame, then post <i>in advance</i>, as in "will fade a test of 80.00, 10 tick target, will average down" or something like that. If you just want to post your P&L that's fine too, but there's another...

Spain-Germany rate spread at new historic highs: 237 - this is one baby that due to its size they will not be able to bail out. Portugal (next in line): 448. Ireland: 613 - and they keep bickering over their budget; don't want to get into politics, but... If they're going to crush the...

So far so good! :D ---- RA, nobody is questioning the way <i>you</i> post your trades. --- That cow is what I'd call a black swan! ROFLMAO

Starting on the 7th of December, they're discontinuing all versions below 906 (the one that requires to click on a confirmation box for any trade through the DOM. :eek: :mad:

Some friendly advice:

Look, Nodoji, I can live with you appreciating or not appreciating my IB stuff, but... criticizing siestas? (a.k.a. napping among the uninitiated)... Have you <i>no shame</i>, ma'am? :D :p --- PS: I trade live with a similar setup, but it's way easier to configure through NinjaTrader :)

Not centered today, having to make a personal decision, but anyway totally flat-footed by oil's rebound - I guess I chose the wrong day <i>not</i> to fade extremes :D Hope Herr Kid made a killing.

For those following Ireland's "troubles", PM Cowen refuses to call for anticipated elections (as the opposition demanded) unless and until the 2011 budget is passed. (The contrary would/should have made the euro crater).

True words of wisdom. :)

Nice call :)

sim Stop-limit at .77 (Jan) to short the LOD ("It's not too low to short", repeat: "It's not too low to short", repeat: "It's not... :D) :27 filled at .77 (don't like being filled at a extreme in the TICK, but trying to overcome my bias and over-thinking, so...) It's in a...

Behold, mortals, and repent from your losses for Doomsday is coming!* This shows how to configure an entry stop (in this case stop-limit, as insurance against crazy slippage) with an attached target and a "trailing" stop (move to BE+1 after 20 ticks in profit). I know it's a tad more...

Ouch, man, that sucks and it's particularly weird that the trades that show up as live were those from the office. I don't want to pry on your log files, so two things off the cuff: 1) Did you have "File>Global simulation mode" selected? Is it selected as default on start-up? 2) Do you...

The triple screen is not so much a system per se, but rather a quite common technique that many traders implement one way or another, i.e.: trade in the direction of the main trend, but drill down to shorter time-frames to enter counter-trend (that is, in a pullback of the main trend)...
