You can find the source code here: https://bitbucket.org/JDFagan/ I use tradelink to mostly execute limit and stop orders on Sterling. Good luck.

Sounds like a few or more Bitcoin owners got burned in either bad exchanges, or a bubble. But I think/hope that the idea of digital cash keeps moving ahead. Complete privacy should be everyone's right.

I heard there was a Chinese emperor who owned several Buicks, and this is why they value the brand. But I forgot that they own a lot of our debt, and if they start to sell, we go down with them. Great insight.

Beside Buicks, what does china buy from us? This sell off is way overblown.

There is different rates for hard to borrow names. These rates vary daily.

I think I got caught in something like this where the ticker just stopped trading. I got credited for the last quote if I remember correctly.

You have to be disciplined, yet flexible at the same time. You use discipline to stay with your back-tested strategy, yet stay flexible in the event that your strategy under performs or just flat loses money. This is not easy.

There is a metric on Multicharts that points out potential upside. I cant remember exactly what it is, but it makes sense. You need to be able to make big winners once in a while. A good high % system is not a bad thing, but they can under perform.

While those equity curves look to be profitable, it looks like a pretty slow walk higher. Watch out for systems with a low payoff ratio and a high percentage of winners. If the system degrades even slightly, you will go sideways or down in short order. I should know as I have trade a lot of...

Ralph, I am thrilled that you are on this forum. I have been trading for over 20 years, and your influence has been extremely important. While it has been a while since I read your text book, what I learned is that I should cut back during drawdown, and define my worst loss (set a stop, and...

I have tried trading equity curves, and the only sound way is to cut leverage as you fall. This is mathematically correct (see Ralph Vince's work).

I use the Sterling API through Tradelink opensource code. If Ninja Trader uses C# code, you may be able to tie it into Sterling. I don't how to do it, but it may be possible.

Stupid. Why would I bank with them with all the other choices including online banks? I bank with my insurance company with no fees.

If I take $9403 and divide it by 867,174, I get something close to a penny a share. Kind of a thin margin, isn't it?

I have subscribed up to 800 stock symbols using Tradelink in C# with minimal issues. But in the fast markets that have occurred recently, any feed is going to have issues as the NYSE/Nasdaq are just getting overwhelmed with volume. I have noticed very poor performance using charting based...

I'm on board with Visaria. If the market opens higher, I am placing a limit order to buy at Friday's close. Based on my backtesting, this has a statistical edge, but a small sample size. If the market opens lower, I am going to short at the open. Again this shows a statistical edge, with...

I trade under my own C corp, but you could do this as a sole proprietor. Your income is based on your tax statement. For a broker, its a 1099 (with another letter, I cannot remember), and for a prop firm, its the partnership K-1 form. From this you deduct expenses. Just be careful as you have...

I would try leveraged ETF's such as the XIV and VXX. I trade them with basically the same strategy that I used on emini's.

I trade mostly large cap stocks. While I use typically use limit orders to enter, market orders are fine as long as their is good liquidity. If I am working on a mid-cap stock, I am much more careful about using market orders. For futures, I never had an issue with eminis, and slippage was...

Backtest the idea first. I don't think trading breakouts is a good long term strategy.
