GDP is further down today, unexpectedly... Economy was in "neglect" LOL.. we had a stellar economy a few years back and forty percent of people polled though we were in a depression... score one for dumbing down America and then taking control...

Oh wait, I guess your strat was not aware of your computer clock time and you got a time stamp in real hours... never mind. Ninja scripts can read your computer clock, you can put some code in there to prevent that problem easy enough...

Consumer spending is up a bit.

That's scary. I'm feeling your pain here a little. Maybe the order got placed during regular hours and only got filled after hours. Maybe the order itself was not marked for real time hours only or something of that nature.. let us know what you figure out there.

I'm sure the rest of the world is seeing what a clusterf$$k admin we have now. It's going to be a rough ride for Americans for awhile..

The public is brainwashed and ignorant nowadays. During the GWB years at the time when the economy was stellar by any means of measurement forty percent of those polled thought we were in a depression... I could see that the press would never, ever, give GWB a good economy and they never did...

Those CDC quotes on how many people die of flu every year have been challenged. Some think they are way overblown. Typically, they are deaths of the very old and the very young [mostly the very old] but this current flu strain kills more people that are in their healthiest years and the death...

DTN offers a more expensive feed that includes the exchange time stamps and their own timestamps. With that you can instantly know who is messing up, for all you know, the exchange is sending that stuff out late or mismarked. You're saying that Ninja was not even supposed to trade after the...

Good read, thanks.

Did anybody make the connection.. Consumer confidence came in way, way higher than estimates... :) and this thread is in Chit Chat !!

I think that explains why I don't like getting up early...

What if someone brainwashes you, makes you join their cult and teaches you to make thousands of dollars per day trading the ES, with no strings attached... where's the Kool Aid in that scenario?

I screwed up some way probably... but I don't understand the error message... I could not screen trade with Datek way back in the day either... wrong side of brain probably.. I'll just go away now.. I promise to get Ninjatrader's screen trader, it's so very very nice. I have not had it since...

Some d-phenylalanine and Vicodin is a good start but it doesn't have the mystique factor admittedly...

I'm not going to worry about it actually, I found my workaround. Telling IB about things seems futile from what I've read, I'm not their little Beta Tester Bitch Boy, if they want real feedback from beta tester, they have to pay me... I'll get a front end and let the front end developer work out...

That's not very intuitive to say the least... I click on the order type of an unsent market order, change it to a stop order, set in the stop price, click send... and it fires off a market order !! If I set the default order type to stop, it becomes intuitive. I can click the order type...

I'm playing with TWS today, admittedly it's on the sim account. I set my default orders to be market orders, I'm trying to just keep a record of potential trades to see if some ideas work..... I changed market orders to stop orders and when I click send there is a little delay, then it gets...

One easy way to get a little more speed, if you have two discs, used to be to put the swap file on the D drive and make it large and fixed. I'm not sure that is still relevant.

Jack advised presidents, is up there with Tesla, is running a green revolution, was an explorer in the 30's, has an army of traders on twenty five exchanges world wide, master of NLP, there is probably a lot more I missed, that's just stuff I picked up from threads here in the last month or...

He's not allowed to talk to outsiders.
