    Trouble using order preset stoploss [Demo/Sim]

    On IB, you must explicitly state that you want stops to be filled outside of regular trading hours...otherwise, the stop wont be sent to the exchange until "regular" market hours. If I recall correctly, this is under "global settings" .... or something like that.

    TWS Disappearing Charts

    I didn't notice the issue on other symbols yesterday.....But I agree with you, it is highly unlikely that this is a SPY specific issue. I didn't look at any other SPDR etfs...but perhaps their 3rd party data provider (assuming they have one) for the SPDRs went down? Also...its not just a TWS...

    I wrote a bot and gave it 25k to trade

    How did you monte-carlo your own backtest? What was randomized? ...Or, did you just fit a distribution to your returns and sample from it?

    Exactly my approach as well, except +4-7 cups of coffee...not because I need the caffeine...just because that is what I do when I'm tap tapping on my computer.

    The OP? Maybe I skim posts poorly....but I saw no ask in it. Merely a "this is what I've done".

    I agree, he's bearish if he actually became president. But i don't think anyone that is rational thinks he win the general....which means trump would, and the street loves don john

    Not my area of expertise...but I'd guess tommorow is bullish, given Bernie won in Nevada....those big smart money boys on wallstreet love Bernie as the nominee

    Yes, but to be more specific, my goal is to be long heavily discounted stock OR collect premium when IV is out of whack with reality.

    For me personally, i sometimes sell far OTM naked puts when I'm okay/want-to get assigned at the strike price. I guess this isn't technically naked tho...as they're cash covered.
