    IB improvements

    I would like to have a "Close Position" option. It could go like this: In the main screen, for a stock that you have a position for, right-click on the position size (or on the stock symbol of a position), and get the option "Close Position". Clicking this would create a new order line, with...

    IB improvements

    All I know is that different ECN's and different exchanges have different rules on this. But I always trade "best execution" or "best ECN", so I don't care too much. Anyway, I don't think it has anything to do with IB handling them differently than other brokers.

    Serious issue : daytrader-swingtrader inner conflict

    Neo, Borrowed money is scared money. NEVER trade with money you borrowed somewhere. Go swingtrading. Papertrade only. Swingtrading, other than daytrading, can very well be practiced/tested by papertrading. QuoteTracker is (almost) perfect for that. Take advantage of the fact that the...

    Fewer Postings after Website Redesign ?

    One other solution might be to give more preview thread titles on the home page for the more active forums. That would be "Trading" and "Direct Access" I believe. Or maybe you could bake some Magic Cookie, that would make it fully customizable...

    I was wrong on that one then, I thought they only charged once.

    changing an pending order with TWS

    It's a long time ago I tried it, but I think IB still doesn't allow this. Which I consider kind of strange as, if I remember well, Datek does allow you to do this. Datek thus misses commissions, whereas for IB it wouldn't make no difference.

    Unless I overlooked something, I think you forgot to place a link to it on the Hardware mainpage.

    eASCTrend

    Yep, and they have a top ten of systems they follow. They say this list keeps changing all the time, which as I see it demonstrates that all systems work for a while and then they don't anymore. I think I noticed this at http://www.wealth-lab.com/ as well, performance dropping after a while...

    Bollinger Bands & Stochastics

    Candle, You used the word pictural three times. And indeed I agree, that's exactly what indicators are all about: to give a visual interpretation of what is going on, of things that you otherwise almost certainly would not have noticed. Any attempt to recalculate what indicators are doing...

    prophetfinance's new JavaCharts

    Thanks for the warning. I have been using their new JavaCharts for the past few weeks and found them extremely easy to use. Great pity their data are so unreliable. I shouldn't be too surprised though. A year ago I tried their ProphetStation (which is basically a clone from QuoteTracker) and...

    No. But if you use the Search function for 'automate' etc. you'll be able to find more threads/links/discussions on this subject. You'll find very few believers though!

    eASCTrend

    I tried their version 6.0 Automatic. For one, the program was full of bugs. I had the idea I was beta testing. One of the scanning functions (not the most essential though) did not work, caused crash. Another one gave problems with the fields to be filled in, found out how to work around that...

    interesting day today (11/8)

    Fed minutes didn't do it no. Fun to read about an up rally when the market is going down. So much for news services. Imho the trend is still up.
