    IB your service is terrible

    One of my greatest teachers taught me something that may be the single most useful model of human behavior in existance. Everything we do as humans stem from one of six basic needs. I find it very useful in trading, and in life in general.

    Stock Watch Pro

    debud, No change to memory. On one box it's a stock Compaq with a different video card (which has caused some other minor glitches). Other box is home built. Hope you have better luck with support than I did.

    Stock Watch Pro

    I may have a similar problem. In my case, SWP opens and runs. But the moment anything is done to any chart, the program locks up. The only way to shut down is task manager. Other kinds of windows don't create a problem, so I've just been using qcharts for the charts. I emailed Crontech many...

    Toby Crabel ORB question

    I'm studying the articles from Stocks & Commodities mag written by Crabel and am stumped by something. He never defines what the opening range is. The article describes the process of calculating what he calls "stretch", that is the amount above the high of (or below the low of) the opening...

    IB your service is terrible

    Sounds to me like you're trying to play games that may border on illegal, and I've read enough IB stuff (including from def) that I know they will not accomadate any shenanigans. And, again, for the record, I have nothing to do with IB, other than being a customer. I realize you have the...

    IB your service is terrible

    maxpi, I agree. My consolation is that the people that do this sort of thing need to be ever more careful in this litigous society. You start bad mouthing somebody in print (like this web site), and you legally can be held accountable. I know of one entity in particular that has their...

    IB your service is terrible

    Non specific accusations help no one. I've been here long enough to see lots of people make claims that end up being either patently false, or stem from ignorance or out and out stupidity. I'm a happy IB customer, and have on occaision had a frustration or two. Every single time, I found out...

    Why NYSE market orders SUCK

    Every so often, when things are going really well for me, and I suddenly have the urge to be overwhelmed with negative emotions, I'll trade a listed stock. Feel bad now:D

    Any Stock Watch Pro "experts"

    Right, it's a relative refrence; which frankly I don't find very useful. I don't know how to do absolute referencing, I don't think you can unfortunately.

    Any Stock Watch Pro "experts"

    In the formula wizard under operands select bar. Set interval to 30, fields to low, N bars ago to the desired number. If someone knows how to select the first 30 minutes of the day, I'd love to know how to do that.

    Clearing house rules

    Please, somebody correct me if wrong; but that sounds like an excuse for something. I've had 4 different brokers, and personally know at least 2 realtick brokers, and if you have a margin account, you're funds are available immediately upon liquidation.

    Clearing house rules

    What you are describing for your realtick account sounds like a cash account. If so, you need to change it to a margin account. If not, I'd be looking quick for another broker. What you're experiencing is not correct for a margin account. Good luck

    Why oscillators dont really work...

    By mathematical definition all an oscillator can do is indicate slowing momentum, they cannot predict reversals. As a matter of fact, indicators in general can't tell you anything a decent working pair of eyes can.

    If you have money, what will you do?

    I'll always trade, but the whole reason I trade is to be able to frivolously blow it on sports car racing. So a motorsports related business it is.

    Trading three time zones

    I've actually been thinking about this a lot. Where I get stumped is finding liquid enough markets. I took a peek at Hong Kong eminis and the big contracts, but I really don't like the way the charts look. There is a lot of blank space. Any suggestions?
