In regard to public posting of info about trades, it's been my prior practice never to post the amount of profit I've made, nor the size of the positions I take and I'm going to revert to that practice now, unless there's an objection from Damir, since it's his thread. What I'll post is the...

I think we've said all we can, so I'll be placing you on IGNORE for now. Bye!

Thank you, FF! I am a Mac user, and it doesn't look at a glance that I'll be able to use autotrader, but I'll make sure. Appreciate all your help and I am sorry you missed your trade, so far anyway.

Quote from nitro: You are incorrect on all counts. For example, all Susan would have to do is strip the clearing statement of all personal information, and make the .html of the trades made available on a public server, not the actual blotter. As far as necessary for proof of efficacy...

sold 2551. Overall, three days trading, I'm down about $50. Well worth it for the learning. Thank you!

This is very cool! I don't do right-clicks, but I see the option in the menu for the Auto Stop. I did not know you can use that for profit position as well as loss! Thank you SO much. That way one can set up the profit target with the original entry. There are a number of features in TWS that...

Yes, very nice and very important. Thank you again, FT!

damir: I'll change the orders. edit: I changed the orders to 1 contract. FastTrader: I am impressed with that. Instead of the auto-stop, can I attach an auto-close (on the profitable side)? damir: Do you want to use stops? I thought I understood not.

In perusing this thread I have a few non-random concerns. In view of hacking and crooks, I would never recommend anyone opening up his brokerage account for view. In fact, I'd be suspicious of the suggestion itself. That is a red flag to me and it's certainly not necessary for proof of...

Hmm... I'm not sure what it means in this context. Isn't the Stop to close a position, rather than open? These orders are to open new positions, either long or short, and of course, getting both filled is extremely unlikely, and these are limit orders. How would a stop work in the context of...

Hi, I don't usually do anything; this is my first experience with overnight orders. I didn't know I could attach a stop. These are limit orders and as unfilled orders on futures, can I attach a stop? Thanks.

I placed overnight orders, I hope: short YM at 9655 long YM at 9520 If I get them both I'll play them both. Linda

tao: where do you live and where is the brokerage? And why? Boring day for me on the futures. My params are so wide it was probably expected I'd never trade. lol Linda

4:15PM? Really? Do you know when they open again? LOUD picked up some yesterday. And that other penny, of which I sold 2500 of my shares at 1.90, went to 2.50 yesterday and closed at 2.35. I'm waiting for it to get back to 30, and I've only been waiting about four years for that to happen...

IB closed my orders at 5PM the other day. Then I placed more and they were gone again after some time. I need to figure out what is happening with that -- when I can place an order that is going to stick. Like you place overnight orders.. What time do you find you can place them and are they...

Market on Close orders at IB Turns out that the only types of orders they accept for futures are the ones that pop up when you click on Bid and Ask, so you cannot enter a BUY at CLOSE or SELL at CLOSE order on the top where you can individually enter orders. Those extra types of orders are...

You know your kid and your conservatism generally pays, so I guess you don't let robo out without a leash till you're positive he won't go nuts.

FastTrader: Damir's system is proprietary to him, so questions about it need to be directed to him. His approach seems to be under development and I learned about it from reading his public posts and asking questions based on the thought's he has shared in public posts. I find reading his...
