What is your trading account size? What is the margin you pay on YM? Shalom trendtech

I have been with IB for about 2 years now and I can't complain about anything other than the margin rates for intraday futures trades. Other brokers like Velocity or Global have $500 intraday margin so why at IB it has to be 3 times higher? Such a high intraday margin is justified in case of...

Stick to your plan and hold the stock, do not change your plan because of a temporary set back. What was your entry price and how many shares?

I don't think you will find another prop firm which will let you trade without putting down your own money at risk. This is the main reason why Swift Trade is so in demand in Eastern Europe and Asia. In America almost anyone can afford to risk blowing up 5k in trading but in those countries only...

Check Swift Trade

Buying the top it's dumb money.

The guy is right, the DOW is due for a major correction rather sooner than later. There is a macd and rsi divergence on daily and weekly charts.

Michael, I have read your other thread (poll). When you started it you were not sure. Now you sound a bit like you just saw God and you want to share it with the whole world. Am I right? Peace trendtech

Chabah, I have not read the whole thread so I don't know what is your trading style but I thing you are not well capitalized to trade. To day trade you need to have 25k base at all times but you said you have 5k and you have made 24 trades in 3 days so how it's possible? trendtech

If you click on "Account" on the TWS you should be able to see your unrealized profit/loss in real time.

Thanks for the info

You need to have some programming skills to set up ZLT auto trading correctly. One of the problems I remember was that the current bar was generating multiple orders due to price movements. This was solved by some coding in the chart program and adding order id on ZLR so there was only one...

Guys, I don't know if you are aware that Zero Line Trader has automated trading interface for IB. I have tried it and it worked without problems. We have done it when there was no IB paper trader account so we used Zero line in sim mode and Amibroker charting to generate trading signals on...

I use SCMagic for IB data, Sierra Chart and Amibroker for playback and backtesting. Cost for intraday tick data is about $11 per month, minute data should be less and you get a very long history, perfect for back testing or for a playback.
