    IB and have i stepped into the bizzaro world

    The only time I've had this problem is when holding overnight. My current broker calculates intraday trading capital differently then overnight capital in both cash and credit accounts. Did you hold some of your first trades overnight?

    Random entry system a la Van Tharp

    Traderkay, Just running this on QQQ daily data, created a "fake" OptVar using optimize function in WLD then control the number of runs by the range & step value of the OptVar. Don't use this variable for anything, just a way to run the system over and over and get a group of results. Looks...

    TC2000 Real-Time Intra-day?

    Hey Gordon Gekko, Look elsewhere - the realtime data in TCNet can't be incorporated into EasyScans as you'd like. Realtime data can be used to sort a watchlist though (ascending/descending). You can run an EasyScan with the 20min. delay data, then sort the subsequent watchlist by realtime...

    TC2000 Real-Time Intra-day?

    Hello Everyone, Have been using TCNet for a couple weeks now and thought I'd attempt to answer some earlier questions: Tick charts - yes, it has these along with 1,5,10,15,30, and 60 min. Real time scans - not really - it functions just like the old TC2000 in regards to scans and...

    Freeriding

    Hello all, My broker allows me to daytrade within a cash account as much as I want, the problems arise with overnight holds. My guess is that on overnight holds Penson gets involved and Reg T rears its ugly head. Overnight and intraday buying power are different - intraday being greater -...

    Is the market one huge ponzi scheme?

    April 2000 - Nasdaq heads for the door... Jan 2001 - Bush enters office... Yup, Republicans to blame. Holding on for that Democrat to fix it. P.S. - They're all the same. :eek:
