First it looked like I was looking at two diff contracts in TS and TWS, but that's not it. The prices quoted and recorded in the TS charts are just wrong, and off by .5-1 point on ER2H06. When I sent marketable limits in TS none of em filled, had to use mkts. They acknowledged an issue on...

Is anyone else experiencing strange lags this morning in TS? My charts are showing incorrect prices, way off. trying to figure out what this is

the next question that comes to mind for me is, over what time and event horizon? can it be compared to the price people are willing to pay for insurance .. you make a good point that one could ideally deviate from a strategy at any point if something big is happening. i guess it comes down...

for sure, it's funny how easy it is to ignore it on a day to day basis. you could definitely say it's evident in the long term chart tho

yeah i hear that. all my symmetrical system stuff, as with many, is a lot better on the long side this year, but i'm psychologically happiest short and also loathe the idea of missing that shock move we're perpetually waiting for. personally i trade 20-30% larger on the short side, that seems...

yes. rugged chassis, durable hinge, no probs with trackpoint or keys damaging screen in a backpack, etc. would be cool if they had a external dvi instead of vga and an svideo (altho in reality vga is probably more useful for compatibility in new locations) and could record in stereo, maybe...

:) why do i sense that there's a right answer to this question ... sorry, not sure why i lunged. reading your posts you seem like a good guy. you do mention horseshit and hay an awful lot tho .. the quote isn't my mantra or anything, but it does seem like john q. ET is very unaware of self

lol, is horseshit what you see when you introspect?

it's not BS, i think it's right on. i've always felt that if people don't get what they want, it's probably because they didn't want it badly enough. likewise as i think seykota intends, perhaps they didn't realize their true subconscious desires at all, and trading success really wasn't what...

the only thing i would say is that if you immediately put in a target limit order to exit the trade at a few ticks profit, unless your entry is really golden, you'll instantaneously decrease the odds of your target price getting hit before your stoploss. it depends on the market you trade, but...

my experience has been much different slapshot i rolled out, configured and supported hundreds of market data apps on a floor for over 1000 traders for several years, and subsequently have been through every issue in the book with both tradestation and tws, using both every day for the last 3...

my thoughts exactly. explore your motives

ditto that on the thinkpads. i've had a t41 and now a t42 both 14.1", and i really love them. i wanted something between the slim and tiny category and the desktop monstrosity category and imo the T series is a perfect balance. i've also noticed the deals on thinkpads are better now than...

running tradestation 8.1 on a pentium D with 32 bit windows for a day now, no issues.

can't add ym quotes to a fresh and current java and tws build here somethings obviously up, hold time is > 10 mins

i've thought about selling some of my back burner work on there too, and spent some time trying to reverse engineer from the historical fills of a handful of the better looking systems. after discovering impossible fills on top of absurdly inflated results, i don't feel i can trust that it's...

why does collective2 display hypothetical intraday results as if they were traded with > 20 lots? the #s are misleading there are also instances where historical fills listed are outside the price range of the actual trading that occurred. sketchy

does IB/TMBR do any proprietary trading outside of MM activity, and to what degree is IB's study of customer black-box trading integrated into your MM algorithms? As a long-time IB customer running black boxes, I was less than thrilled to read that IB is aggressively collecting directional...

lol thanks man. it came back after a few

Is anyone's TWS disconnected for the last 2 mins? Down here
