I had the same problem with one account this morning. I had tried logging in last night and didn't succeed. This morning I again couldn't log in. I reinstalled TWS and was able to log in after that. I know of at least two others who had identical experiences. FWIW: logging into the same...

I'll be there friday & saturday. I know of no ET meetings, but why don't we use this thread to see who's attending.

Amen! let the automation run on its own ... NO fiddling.

While many of us use IB for execution I don't know any traders that use their quotes to trade off of. IB quotes are good as backup, but other than globex, they are just not reliable.

I think this looks good, assuming its actual trade results, and not simulated. I would like to see the biggest losing day, and how often you have seriously bad days (such as loss > 2*avg loss). if you don't have to many nasty days, it's looking good too me.

the current rate for LOC is under 3%, so I'd say 5.25 is high.

Before this thread has a chance to degenerate, let me remind the participants that this forum is about Strategy Trading. This is not the place for insults or general pseudo philosophical musings. Those belong in chit chat.

I don't smoke but have had to deal with the "stress daemons" myself. I've tried two things. First one was to measure my pulse when i felt i was getting nervous and try to get it low. Secondly, about two years ago i got one of the heartmath/emwave devices and have used that successfully. I left...

I agree that hidden orders are common. But if I put out a LMT for 500 shares on SMART at the inside, it seems as if TWS should show at least 500. But that's not always the case as i've seen TWS show less than 500 in that situation.

FWIW, i did not see the problem today 5/20, but I also had relatively few orders today.

I noticed it for the first time today 5/19. I had the last bit of an order for 300 shares transmitted as SMART and routed to ARCA. The main line in TWS showed only 2 on the bid for at least 30 seconds, before changing to 3. I'll watch for it tomorrow.

RandomZen does not accept PMs or email, so i've removed the attachment and locked the thread. He/She can repost in clear text if there is still interest in sharing.

Never seen anything like that. if you want to post the settings of the order, I'd be happy to take a look at it and see if i see anything out of the ordinary. Edit: maybe you can let us know if you call this from Java, C etc. Without more data I have no idea.

thanks for the link to the Mike Abrash article. He knows his stuff!

I think the practical issue is that high government officials are not allowed to actively invest/trade the stocks market. The two choices are typically go all treasuries or put everything into a blind trust. I would have chosen treasuries, too.

The biggest issue/problem with the Tesla architecture is that you have to re-design your software around their APIs. For some that's easy, but for many, it's probably not a good fit. If your software already is highly distributed and parallel without lots of locking, cuda might fit...

der er altid en klovn eller to :)

Good idea! It needs to be heavily moderated to keep it useful. I'd be willing to moderate.

Thanks for sharing. I'm probably just dense, but i don't see the ema 9 & ema 34 in play at all for entry or exit rules?

Good one. Another one i have is to limit the number of shares to a fixed max amount. I use volatility based position sizing, so it's possible to divide by something small if you're not careful.
