Hello Btoovey, It sounds like you want to do some pairs trading. A while back I wanted to write a code on Spread Trading for compare 2 different symbols: say, 10-year& 30-year Bond, when some conditions met. In this process I would Short one and Buy the other; then once the spread (the...

Hello Btoovey, I read your posts after mine. If you want me to respond directly to me press “quote” otherwise I might not find your thread again. The answer to your questions are as follows: Data1 and Data2 are used for computation of the spread Go under format symbol to see which...

Hello Shortie, I read your analysis this morning. It all makes sense. I have to agree with you. I’m of the same opinion you are. What you said makes perfect sense. I also believe that company earnings cannot maintain this pace of growth, it is just not possible. Likewise you said there is...

Hello Shortie, Before I reply, thanks for posting your analysis and comments on the possible shorts. It does give us all something to think about. When I read your reply I actually think you and I are saying the same thing. We are currently in a strong up trend. If you and I try and short...

Dear SomeYoungGuy & Shortie I hate making markets predictions. You learn that after being humbled by the markets over the years. Then you stay with the markets until they prove you wrong. I have yet to hear any convincing evidence in these recent bear threads from time tested methods that...

Hello Btoovey Here is what your set up would look like in Tradestation with a time exit. I added the easy language code for using data1 and data2. I leave the rest to you. This kind of code has been around forever. Set up a) Calculate the percent change of the traded instrument IBM in...

Forgot to add…. Then once you understand the basics. Next you put multiple charts in a workspace each with your symbols data. Then go to your EL Ref Guide and Learn how to use data1 and data2 to reference each set of data. This is how you reference multiples symbols.

Go to the TS main menu. Look on the left side at quick tips and open it. View creating Multi-data Charts; this is the basics.

I was expecting this because of the SUN Micro buy.

Census jobs are just starting. They are going to hire over a 1 million to process the Census. Good news for buying the market.

Yes, even the losers are moving on up.

End of day or intra day makes little difference? It does to me. The rate that your trading plan says you can destroy your account is a key to trading that traders ignore. Risk percentages must correspond with the rate you enter trades.

Yes, we will all pay the price for their folly.

Yes, I like the party. I’m buying on dips. But I have observed in the past that some stupid official always begins to believe they have “saved the world” and reigns in the fun. Then the party becomes a drunken brawl.

The concept of “cloud servers” have been around for decades. As a bank DBA manager I was inundated with requests to outsource processing of the banks data. IBM and Oracle have spend over $50 billion and $30 billion respectively since 1995 to make sure that if a business did not have the back...

Garchbrooks, I have been reading your thread with some interest. I used to know everything about databases. I’m a retired Data Base Administrator (DB2 and Oracle). But now I trade full time to forget restoring DBs at 2:00 A.M. every other day. I’m not a SQL Server guru. I’m a mainframe...

I have been accessing IB with no problem from IE 8. Starting yesterday morning I am locked out of IB and TWS from IE 8. I now get HTTP 501/HTTP 505 errors saying they can’t get your web pages. Yours is the only web pages I can’t access. :confused:

I don't know about 11k? But there are some good buys.

The bigger question is what will happen to the world when the last of the government bailouts, tax breaks, bond backing and incentive money dries up?

Hi Jr07, I think you should pat yourself on the back. Many traders never get as far as you do in defining a trading plan. I think you are on the right track. But there are still a number of questions that are not clear based on the information you provided. These are some things to think...
