Thanks Quah, but I'm confused now. :( On page one of this thread you said about the entry: Enter at the open of each 2176T bar, in the direction of the 272T stochastic, %D>%K short, %K>%D, long, just like "SVS". Now you say we are to enter in "the direction of the color of the bar just...

Quah, Are you planning on putting up the individual trades in a journal like with SVS? I lost huge today (on paper) and wanted to see how it is that you did so well. Thanks a bunch, if you get around to it. --opm8

Quah, I think after 120+ pages it's time to investigate some of the subtleties of the system. What are your thoughts on these: -Do we always SAR if a trade goes against us? -How many double whammy SARs before throwing in the towel for the day? -Do we bother looking at what the 1-min...

Aaah, yes. Occam's Razor. Thanks. BTW, what is Quah's setup, Ensign? --opm8

dbphoenix, I'm having these same problems that you seem to have overcome. Using Qcharts, 2 min stochastics at 17,1,17 I don't always get the same short/long signal as Quah. Can you please let me know your setup (software, pertinent Quahsystem settings) so that I can follow along? Thanks...

When you use a 2-min chart for stochastics, aren't the values computed only every two minutes? This is what I get from Qcharts (It's not the best I know, I know). If we're looking at a 1-min chart then we don't get up to the minute stoch values. What I mean is, I get stoch values every two...

Try the free ticker thingy that scottrade.com is offering. Too many flashing lights and things that move but maybe this is what you're looking for. --opm8

Thanks for bringing this up. After reading the latest "You're all a bunch of morons" diatribe in Trading I got to thinking these threads should go to a "Militant Pre-Pubescent Rantings" section or something. Hey Baron, how about if enough readers 'kill' a thread then that's where it goes? :p...

WarEagle, This information is great, thanks for answering these questions. Is there a futures book you can recommend that explains these kinds of things? All I seem to find is endless strategies when I would just like to know the technical details. --opm8

tjuggler, Have you looked at monster.com? Do a search on "trader," there are many positions. I remember someone mentioning this on another thread. --opm8

Thanks for this thread bungrider, I never found it before. I guess the upside for me is that I got a smoking deal on the i705 so if it truly is this bad then back on ebay it goes. :) --opm8 (Crossing my fingers that the speed will be sufficient) And oh yes MrX, if I get it to work...

Due to the overwhelming interest in this thread I think I'll start another one as Part 2. :) Alrighty then, maybe I'll post a review myself when I get Mobile Trader working (have a Palm i705 on order). --opm8

Hi All, There are firewall issues at work preventing me from running the java TWS so I'm considering a wireless PDA in order to use IB's Mobile Trader software to (mostly) exit my morning's trades (I live near the left coast so my trading day begins at 6:30 AM, before work). Does anyone...
