WoW! A trade makes a year. Do you involve in long-term or position trading in commodity trading, or what? WmW :)

I doubt that too. They are here to rip you off. That won't be easy. Eg: If they try to make false spikes to trigger short position stop losses, you spot the chance and open short position. No, you won't get that chance since they maniuplate quotes on client by client basis. They...

Counter-fraud. :p

But isn't it true Yahoo is not the only free source? So why don't consider other FREE sources? :cool:

That's bad. We're all alone to learn by ourselves. No one even post some tips and tricks to help us go through the master of tape reading. Pretty sad! :( Anyway, it's what I'm trying to do so personally. I would like to learn from others because I would like to see if I've missed...

Give up? Why? The purpose of this post is to point out (immoral) stop hunting (by screwing prices on your data feeds) does exist (which some people think otherwise). It helps to remind other traders not to fall into victims of stop hunting. I don't see what's wrong in pointing out the...

I won't set a fixed limit on my loss. All my stop-losses are technical in nature - I stop-loss because I have been proved wrong. the trend is against me. If the loss is too large that I can't afford wiating to my technical stop level, I either reduce my position or not trade at all.

I have to clarify that 2-3% drawdown is for the percentage drawdown from that particular trade only. Let's take an example of stock trading. You tried to buy on retracement. When you see a rebounce, you decide to buy on close and place your stop-loss at the relative low of the trend...

Hi. Does anyone know if there's any good sources/resources which teaches people how to trade from Level 1 &/or 2 quotes; Time & Sale? Thank you.

Absolutely agree. Don't trade against the trend, especially the strong one.

I think you have to get used to that. 2-3% drawback is very normal. It could happen in just one day. If you can't get used to it, you can't let your profits run and win big. You need to know how to give back some of your profits in order to get more in future.

Quote Feed Controller The quote feed that comes into the platform can be turned off and quotes can be done manually if need be. So, you have the ability to move the spot prices at will, independent of the prices feed that you receive from outside. You see you can not only chage the Spread but...

JMowery1987, you are very welcome. It's very clear candlestick rules the world. It's surpirsed there's one who use line chart to trade. :P

I've come across this progam one day. AlertTAPE http://www.alerttape.com It's a stock alert program with Excel support. But it seems it doesn't support Asian stock markets. Does anyone knows if there's any similar programs around like this?

Just wonder. It seems all people are getting quotes from Yahoo only. Is it just Yahoo being the only source for Excel in this planet? :D

Thanks. 1) Go to: http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=goog&f=f6 The URL is to retrieve "Float Shares". But there're 3 unknown numbers in the quote. What do these 3 numbers mean? http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=yhoo&f=f6 Sometimes it has 4 numbers. :confused: 2)...

Sorry, not that. I would like to retrieve infomration directly from the server. Eg: I would like to get everyday close for my portfolio. Previously I may need to manually update this data. I would like to find a way which can do this routine automatically.

Retrieve historical data from financial websites Hi. How can I tell MS Excel to retrieve historical data automatically from financial websites, like Yahoo, MSN. I need historical data of Us and Hong Kong stocks. The data I would like to have is: - open, low, high, close [most...
