"I would appreciate any comments on the Tradestation 7.2 platform`(especially from traders who use auto trade function)" Autotrading is useless if you are using limit orders in your strategy. For example say your strategy puts an order to buy NQ at 1420.00 limit. The price comes down, the...

How do you attach a chart? I inserted its location where it says "Attach file" but it didn't work. See if this works:

Well, either your charts are off or mine are. Anyway the attached chart shows the divergences I mentioned.

db I pm'd you. Count me in.

I have noticed many times that the NQ or ES will make a new intraday high or low and the other index will not confirm it leading to market reversals. The most recent was this afternoon at about 12:15 PST. The ES made a new intraday low and the NQ didn't, leading to a nice rally into the close...

See Walter, that is exactly what I meant.

If nothing else Walter, you're always good for a laugh.:)

If you think that an indicator divergence based on a 5 minute chart one day has any bearing on trading the next day, taking into account all the news that develops after hours, you are greatly inexperienced in trading.

Thanks Ebo.

No, what I was referring to was multilple monitors. My question is, can you have one workspace on one monitor and another workspace on another monitor? As it is now (7.1) you can only stretch the workspaces onto another monitor.

Ebo: If I read you correctly, you can have only one instance of Tradestation open, yet have a chart workspace on one monitor and a matrix workspace on another monitor? (Separate workspaces that is)

Thanks Tripack, that works.

I have an eay language question that I couldn't get an answer for at TS World. I have Keltner bands on my charts, the top band is known as the UpperBand and the bottom band is known as the LowerBand. What I am trying to do is once the high crosses above the UpperBand I want to store the...

I have a 21 inch CRT monitor. Without warning, the top 3 inches and the bottom 3 inches of the screen went fuzzy or out of focus. I tried switching video cards but the problem is still there. Is there a simple fix for this or is the monitor bad?

For those of you who know of successful scalpers I have three questions: 1) How many trades a day would you say they make? 2) Do they trade a system and if so is it automated and did they design it themselves? 3) Any hints as to what triggers entries, exits? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Acrary. I've always been impressed with your programming skills.

Acrary: Do you trade a system? If so did you develop it yourself and do you trade it through Tradestation with entries and exits automated? Thanks.

NFA fee is 2 cents per side for TS. What is IB's NFA fee?

None. Why? Because all indicators fail over time. Like someone on here said, "They work until they don't work". Just look at how many times Vision Trader changed his parameters. The only thing that matters is support, resistance, retracements and volume.

Does anyone know what happened to the Online Trading Expo that they usually hold in Anaheim, CA this time of year? I have looked around but can't find any information on it.
