Good day all around but nothing was real big. Added together it did amount to something. ARMH was a gap up after a B7 that i was in from open to close and didn’t get near what I thought I was going to get. BBBY was afterhours fade. BXS Was a small dual 10m bar overbought. Dole was a B9...

WOW, I am trying it outside trading hours but it seems to be a lot better !! Thank you very much. Free beer for you anything in your my neck of the woods in Wisconsin !!

Not much going on for a Monday for me. I had one nice trade with BEC with a dual 10m bar overbought signal. I was conservative with my entry price and that was good because it kept ripping higher for a while which gave me a great entry and confidence to hold out for a lot more than the normal...

Not feeling well yesterday or today so this will be a little fast. Turned unrealized loss into a realized loss by scalping V back and forth bringing my cost average into the closing price of the stock. I lowered my size to the amount I want to hold longer term as I believe this is a good...

One of the slowest trading days in a long time. I did trade KFY today with more covers than shorts. I started covering at a loss but my final cover was in the green. If KFY has seen the top of the move and continues down tomorrow this could turn into a nice trade. Otherwise if it moves up I...

Good day today even though I missed AIG by a small amount. I had a good day today although KFY is still moving higher. I shorted some and covered some and ended up with more of a short but with a much higher average. With a day of weakness I should be able to close it out with a nice gain or...

Slow and steady today. With the end of the year within grasp I took all my signals slow and conservative protecting gains. I had a bumpy year to be sure with a start that I will be glad to forget about but an ending that really is making the holiday season a lot more fun. I had a B7 signal...

I do and no worries. Consider it an open invitation if you should ever have a change in mind. Perhaps thats one of the biggest draws to this business. We can forge our own path and at any time go in our own direction even if just yesterday we were running with a pack. I know its one of the...

Great way to end a good week. My overnight with MIPS didn’t turn into a winner but I was able to walk away without getting beat up. KFY was covered for the most part until it started moving higher and then I reshorted and ended the day shorting into the close. Less shares and a higher...

My short with CML paid off nicely today. I had it closed out and covered before the opening bell It came with a bit of a scare though. I saw that the tape started moving fast with trades at the same time the squawk box announced that dell was buying CML but I didn’t catch the price and I...

"forming an opinion......." yup, that about sums it up for me in a nutshell Today was a good example of "not knowing, or I have no opinion" A guy in the chat room asked me what I thought of a stock. 9 times out of ten I dont have a valid signal working with any given stock so I say so...

It was a very long but slow day. Not much of a surprise this morning with my overnight CML. It did open up and fall down but it didn’t down as far as I would have liked. CML has done this to me several times and they tend to compound each other. Like the want of a nail the shoe was...

Mixed day that started out great and stayed ok but the end was a little painful. My overnight with PPO turned out well with a nice gain even after the stops I took yesterday. I had some other smaller trades because I was not getting any size on most of the entries until CML. I traded CML back...

Thanks for your reply. I just looked at tradelink again last night but didn't see the depth view was something being worked on. I also didn't see the connector and would love to find out more about both. Thanks Robert

After spending the whole weekend coding I now have a new entry generator for B9 confirmation. My wrists hurt from all the typing but this post is important so I will give it what I can. Two of my trades on Friday where results of errors and not poor trading or at least not totally due to poor...

Hi Mark, I found an interesting but small "bug" with the hotkey script at least on my computer. I found that if the book trader is on the far left (again I have four monitors on this computer) that the confirmation box stays there and basically I lose control of the mouse. I need to hit the...

Mark, Thanks for your help. I was able to get your script up and running. It appears based on the thread that the java solution may be faster but yours works great. It would have been nice if IB left the "armed" checkbox because I wonder how often I will make a trade due to...

Thanks Mark, I did not change the bat file until your post. I tried that and it still does about the same thing. Bummer, probably something easy and simple but I have never worked with these types of files. Do you know any way to see a log of whats happening so I may look for what I...

Thanks for your help Mark, I tried that and I get a command prompt window to open for a very short time and then it disappears. I guess based on your guidance I don't have everything set properly. hmmmmm

I put the ibcontroller in the c:\ibcontroller folder I also edited the IBController file to include the username and password. it would appear to me from the instructions that I can double click the same edited file to make it run but that simply opens it up to edit. I also see an...
