    Making a living with a $30K account

    The reality is that each of these questions has a very logical answer. You'll probably never know them until you set foot in a place that makes money and you ask them how they do it. You're not going to believe me though, and that's ok with me. One thing that I did find fascinating...

    Silly IB question

    I have had no luck with support on this issue, but at the same time, they say it *is* possible... ?? Can anyone explain to me how to set a stop for an option trade based on the underlying? Thanks, TNG

    Making a living with a $30K account

    As you have probably noticed, ET is seperated into two camps. There are the people who have "done it" and the people who tried, didn't, and now believe it's not possible. For whatever reason, the second group likes to try to convince the first group what they have done is not possible. Often...

    Beyond the hype of hershey futures method journal

    This is off to a good start it seems RoughTrader, good work. I tried automating the channels simply as a chart indicator and to use in some backtesting, but I had an awful time with the length to draw them. There is no fixed length in SCT, and to capture the events you need three seperate...

    Hey JayF... I'm a long time Qcharts/Qlink user. Is this a new version for use with QCharts? If so, how/where can I try it? Thanks, TNG

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Equities Trading Journal III

    I would love to, but I did not trade SNCR. I am not getting long any stocks until the dust settles, I have been essentially flat since monday. As for the unusual volume, I simply check it based off of those values for each half hour interval during the day, and mark where it will *probably*...

    I have found "unusual volume" to be very helpful. If you use Qcharts, it comes as a pre-defined indicator you can add to any watch list. If you don't, it's simply the % of today's volume vs the 65 day moving average. Attached is something you may find useful. However, I am certainly NOT...

    the blow up

    For me there were/are a couple distinct phases. 1. learning to use disaster stops and sticking to them 2. learning to go to cash when the market looks uncertain or behaves in a manner I don't understand (went through a stage of learning that going short when your long's aren't working...

    Excel System Development

    I have had no problems with RTD, once I set the throttle speed. Depends on what your sheet is doing, but like i said, we run real time sheets with 6,000-8,000 links with no problems. Actually, when BB is running right, it's very surprising how close it is to the actual market (as seen through...

    Nice, just what I've been waiting for... 16,000 columns! Now I can track every stock on AMEX, NASDAQ and NYSE, twice! The prelim tests I've done do show it's a lot faster, however. TNG

    Excel System Development

    Good points. However, if you upgrade to RTD your sheet would not slow down, nor cause that high utilization, imho. RTD blows DDE out of the water. I have been running some excel sheets with bloomberg data and 6,000-8,000 links with very limited problems. BB does get behind, on occassion, but...

    Excel System Development

    In a previous life I went insane trying to bend/break/force/bribe canned software into doing what I wanted it to. I program in C#, as well as Java (haven't in a long time, however), VB, VBA and some others. Although C# is an absolute goddsend, I still don't use it for most of my systems...
