IMHO, It reqiures a lot of knowledge and experience to accomplish that ........................ http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/increasing-size-during-drawdown.228128/page-27#post-4067105 Definitely not for beginners.

Hi, If Gates does what Balmer did many years ago, MSFT will likely go down: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/steve-balmer-the-most-awkward-ceo-ever.23119/#post-346670

In addition, Barchart manages the network connectivity for Sierra Chart: https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=11631#P50160 Unfortunately, Sierra Chart does not support exchanged traded spreads yet. Otherwise, there may be a cheaper alternative...

Hi, I agree that paper trading is useful. Similarly, flight simulation is used extensively in the aviation industry to train pilots and other flight crew for both civil and military aircraft. Besides fear, greed and other emotional issues, some problems only reveal themselves during LIVE...

If memory serves: About two years ago, you were very optimistic about price action, technical analysis, etc. You had a chat room, and managed other people's money. What has happened since then ? Thanks for being so honest.

You could be in deep trouble: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/margin-call-on-an-ib-ira-account-need-suggestions.51251/

Hi, ET members like Scientist, Handle123, etc., did discuss about how to use DOM info for trading: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/dom-acv-and-bid-ask-wall-used-tgether.103293/ A related topic is footprint chart. Unfortunately, I do not have enough brain power to process...

Hi, IMHO, it depends on the traders. Some fellow members claimed that one was enough: This is a trend-following setup: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/free-es-trading-strategy-that-works.162375/ This is a counter-trend setup...

Hi, What raw data feed are you referring to ? Thanks.

Agree. IMHO, the other differences between i5 and i7 are minor: Hyper-Threading is not typically found on Core i5 desktop chips. It is common on Core i5 mobile dual-core processors. All Core i7 processors have it, which means they all can handle twice as many threads as they have cores. While...

Hi, Sierra Chart is written in C++. It is very fast and lightweight. http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/looking-to-get-a-new-computer-any-advice-would-be-really-helpful.288256/page-2#post-4061536 For other trading software, a slow i5 processor may not be enough. Just my two...

Hi, Buying a graphics card can be tricky. For example, there are more than one models for ASUS GTX 650 card. The GTX650-DC-1GD5 has four output ports, and may support up to four monitors: http://www.asus.com/us/Graphics_Cards/GTX650DC1GD5 Other model may have just three...

Hi, What happens to IB's famous auto-liquidation algo ??? http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/ib-initial-margin-vix-futures.288456/#post-4063728 http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/put-options-liquidated-at-worst-possible-prices.198144/...

This is a good bargain. My PC has an ASUS motherboard, and an Intel i5 CPU. Hence, I bought an ASUS GTX 650 card, and an Intel SSD. Hopefully, this would minimize hardware/software conflict. Eighteen months ago, if I could buy this 660 card at $129.99 after $30.00 rebate, I would not...

IMHO: It depends on the software, and your trading style: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/which-prebuilt-computer-will-help-me-run-2-3monitors-while-multitasking.284770/#post-3991144 I have a GTX 650 card, and running TWS/Sierra Chart on Windows 7 64-bit operating system. So...

Hi, Indicator setting is a huge subject. Taking MACD as an example. There are the most popular setting, Linda Raschke's setting, Bill Williams' setting, etc.: YouTube does have some good videos about indicators. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCefmvujWx8eQ2fyeProGTkg Just my two cents.

Hi, ADX, Choppiness Index, Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio (which is very similar to the Chande Momentum Oscillator) are some of the common indicators that try to quantify the strength of a trend. However, none of them is perfect. In addition, none of them is 100% objective, as the traders need to...

Handle123 used to make a lot of calls in the following thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/es-journal-2012.64965/page-1287#post-3655676 I was impressed by his anticipatory entries risking 2 to 4 ticks for a profit of 4 to 8 ticks. He usually made the calls five to twenty...

Yes. Something like that. If memory serves, it occurred few months after the 2006 NYC Traders Expo.

A user called Kiwi, who manages to combine the first two feeds from IB for the Sierra Chart community: https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=8341 I think Kiwi stops posting on Elite Trader years ago. I am not aware of this data feed. Maybe Kiwi is working on it now. I know...
