So when this says At Ask and it's showing green, i;m guessing that some one went to buy at market and hit the ask, but why does not show that some one sold at the ask? How does it differentiate?

How does the T&S determine if something was bought or sold at the bid or ask? Like, if some one sent a market order to buy at the ask, some one has to be selling at the ask, so what determines if the sale goes down as a buy at the ask or a sell at the ask?

I got lucky today and almost gave my self a heart attack! I just started with automated trading and my system froze up right after I entered the trade. I tried to get out but I couldn't. I signed off and on of my tradestation and then I couldn't connect to the order server. Now I'm worried...

Haven't posted in a while. Just coded my stategy and today was the first test run. I hate starting off on the wrong foot:mad:

When are stop losses triggered? If a stock is trading at $10.10 and my stop loss is set at $10, will the stop loss trigger when the Bid reaches $10, or when the Ask is at $10 or at the first print of a $10 sale? Same thing for a stopbuy, if I have a buystop at $10.10 and the stock is trading...

I think that WiFi will eventually put them out of buisness. No need for their satalites when you can cover the entire city of Seattle with 6 towers. Just think of all the cell phone towers, if you can get a signal on your cell phone, you can eventually pick up a WiFi signal in your car.

I just got Tradestation today and i'm a little overwhelmed with all the features. I went through some of the tutorials and they help a little but I was looking for something better. Any one who uses tradestation know a good book for a beginner with tradestation?

Is this a typical Elite trader?

Do most firms take away buying power when you place a buy/sell stop order or when the order is actually executed? Lets say a stock is trading in a range and I want to go short if it breaks bellow the range or go long if it breaks above the range. I want to put in a buy stop and a sell stop at...

Just taking this to the extreams but what if you were using that phone card to call your dying mother in the hospital in another country and now you had now way of talking to her? The fact the card is worth $200 is not the reason you would be mad for loosing it. On the other hand, lets say you...

Well, i'm still a newbie and I find that you just need to filter out all the crap and you still can get some valuable information. Most of the time i'm on this site, I'm using the Search to look up old posts. When I find some one that appears to know what they are talking about, I pull up...

The broker was Alliance and I got in touch with them right after the trade happened via a live chat online. They told me to email support with the details of the trade. I emailed them twice and didn't hear anything for 6 days. I went to the live chat again and they told me to forward the...

So you can see that my fill was way higher then anything else at the time. if you added up the next 8 trades at 8.79-8.80, it was enough to fill my order. So is that just normal for this to happen?

I attached the chart from today. The stock was NITE and I got filled short 3500 shares at 9:35. I covered 2 minutes later at 9:37. You can see on the chart that it didn't even show up in the chart as a trade. I just checked on Yahoo and Stock charts and they show it on their charts as a...

That worked, thanks!

The problem is that I'm not trying to do all the numbers in a column, I'm trying to get my average win and my average loss of 120 trades. So the column has both positive and negative numbers in it. I was doing AVERAGE(number1,number2,...,...,) and so on but it will only let you do up to 30...

Well, I know I got filled at the highest price that was able to fill my trade in 1 fill but why wouldn't I get partial fills of a 100 shares here and there?
