I seriously wish this piker would just leave ET once and for all. RoughTrader

Bob, I'm not an advocate of TS in any way, but you should know this. IB, reputed to be one of the best futures brokers around, also experiences data feed hiccups every once in a while. I'd be surprised if you could find ANY data feed supplier that doesn't screw up at all. Your experience...

spinn, I run multiple market/system combinations completely automated without any need for attendance. I won't help you with funding issues, but I'd be happy to examine your system to see what execution or automation issues are holding you back. If you feel inclined, please PM me...

And how are they supposed to "wait it out" and keep paying the mortgage when the recession has already taken their jobs? It's pretty clear that unemployment on a national scale is going to be a big problem over the next few years. My only hope is that a recession or depression does not kill...

Ugh. Never ceases to amaze me. Macroeconomic events and sentiments DON'T MATTER in the trading game. All that matters is identifying the setup, then pulling the trigger. You take a profit, or you get stopped out. Simple. Too many a$$holes with their huge egos arguing over these asinine calls...

Can you make a guarantee on that? It could be a bear flag forming in preparation for another leg down. Point I'm making is I'm confused why you and other permabulls speak as if forthcoming price formations are somehow predictable. Permabulls and permabears advertising their positions is...

It's "Hari-Kiri". RoughTrader

Good question. There was a flurry of activity on the tape. It's been dead all morning. RoughTrader

LOL

I have never understood the fixation of some people to champion one side of the market. It's like living life with one eye closed when you have a perfectly good pair. The long side has been good for the past 8 months or so, but now the short side looks like a good direction to play. Moving...

I play games too while trading in the morning. But I'm fully automated so I could also be playing golf if I wanted to. RoughTrader

The DAX futures look interesting for sure. Any opinions on where to get the best historical tick data and live data feed? I sure wish tradestation would offer this product through their platform. It'd be great to auto-trade this badboy while I'm sleeping here in the west coast... RoughTrader

I'd hate to be you when you leave this earth. RoughTrader

7 is actually the number of completion, of perfection. RoughTrader

$2,170 gain per contract on the ER2. This was one of my outlier performance days. RoughTrader

What are you guys all talking about? Zero risk with 100% uproom to go!! BTW where is EqtTrdr? =) RoughTrader

You misunderstood what I meant about exit on the close of the first tick. TS offers the ability to execute order inside a bar, so you don't have to wait until the bar is closed to issue an order. If you enable "intrabar order generation" in your strategy, you can write code so that the first...

I've found that there are too many sessions that close earlier than the regular session close, but virtually all sessions open at the right time. What I would do is just exit at the close of the first 5-min. bar. ExitTime = CalcTime(SessionStartTime(0,1), BarInterval); ExitLevel = Close...

I've been using macs since OS X "Panther" and just love them. clean interface, rock-solid stability and memory managment. My question is, why not write the software in java so that your application could be platform-independent? I'm not sure how an interpreted language would affect...

I suggest you set your session times to be 9:30 EST to 4:15 EST instead of 24 hour. All those low-volume, low-range bars cannot be traded with stops with reasonable slippage. RoughTrader
