Here is the Dow

No, I am assuming that Friday was the top and looked for retracement levels, see the chart

Has anyone noticed the Fibonacci retracement levels are perfectly positioned now for a correction? Check out the Dow, Nasdaq, S&P and Soxx indexes with Fibs from last Spring's lows. Coincidence? Comments?

:eek: Oi Vey!!! :eek: I would spend more time on that than on evaluating trades and actual trading!:mad:

Money Management works like a charm. My Method: 1) Risk/Reward ratio minimum 1:2 (I like 1:3 or more) 2) Do not risk more than 2% of your total capital. (This will give you the max number of shares to trade) If your method/system is solid, you will find minimal losses and good...

Amen!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing your experience! I have had similar experience, although no where near the amounts you mentioned. Sorry to hear that. I too, after many years of seeking to purchase the holy grail (it's not out there) now rely on my own analysis and have done quite...

I use a P111 733mhz 512mb ram, matrox G400 32mb video card with dual monitors and Win XP Home and can run : Interactive Brokers TWS (2 pages) Quotetracker Amibroker (downloading EOD data) surf other sites all at the same time on a high speed cable connection. If I could hook up a...

I checked the site, min account size is $2 mil, so currently has a max of 5 clients??

At home I have a desktop dual monitor setup. I travel almost 10 days a month. Any current laptop will do fine, even the $799 specials at Compusa. I run IB TWS-Quotetracker-Amibroker with no problems at all even with dialup on a Celeron 1.1 ghz with 384 ram WinXP 14" laptop. (almost 2...

Thanks for the detailed reply. I have enough real estate. I do have some "art" however depending on the economy the "value" swings wildly. Waiting for an uptick in demand for artwork at the moment. There's something about hanging 5 and 10 thousand dollar bills on the walls that no longer...

I have been trading stocks using technical analysis, mechanical trading systems for EOD signals, and judgement. Trades last 2-10 days and I do intraday trading occasionally. I do not trade on margin and do not wish to. My problem: I do size, and when dealing with 30-60 dollar stocks I...

It is clearly explained on the Tradestation site. It will cost you about $200 bucks/month if you do not open a brokerage account or $100 / month with an account. I would recommend www.Amibroker.com in your case. Check it out.

There is a "zero lag MACD" available for Amibroker which was based on ZeroLag EMA - see Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities April 2000

That's quite a stretch since you are basically moving a home office.

As far as I can see there is no ability to backfill your charts. IB realtime feed has no historical backfill. Means if you miss a beat, an hour, a day, you will have gaps on your charts.

How about an update from BobCathy on 7.2 ??

So, you scalp without charts using IB?

Why not look at Tradestation 7.2? I am with IB and instead of going with eSignal and a plugin, Tradestation offers it all with commision rates very similar to IB.

Simple, it's Christmas...take a break...enjoy family and friends. Get back at it in the New year. You don't have to trade during the holidays. Most of us really do take a break. Good luck Good Holidays

Any Tradestation 7.* users in Seattle willing to let me have a look and talk ???
