well, i guess you could be said to "wreak" illegitimacy too. thanks for the spelling lesson. i have no interest in character assassination, but when you call an interested party a wuss for questioning your use of an exe to disseminate a document, well... that deserved an appropriate...

this is BS, dude, you wreak of illegitimacy. sorry i posted in the first place.

FP, I understand your frustration, definitely not trying to bring you down. If you see strong enough opportunities in that timeframe, you've got something to work with. True, ES will liberate you from the pdt rule, but from my limited experience scoping out these opportunities, the...

interesting. i face a similar issue, wanting to trade an index, but not feeling ready to use the leverage needed for ES. I was also looking at the SSF's for a suitable proxy. I noticed IWM, the russell 2000 etf has an SSF also. imo you're probably better off with those pdt rules anyway...

someone actually posted about this on the TS support forum, asking them to branch out in their taste. I recommended they play satie, steve reich, or kraftwerk. (not that i ever call them for anything)

hope that helps anyone frustrated out there. in the end, trading is as irrelevant as everything else. qdz3, smell the roses. if there are none around, go find some!

Novice question here. How is it that right now IWM has a spread of -.75, sustained over several minutes? (if this question is so retarded it doesn't merit an answer... sorry for the interruption)

:) serious? cause i'm not just looking for any beautiful dusty ghost town, a granule of soul is necessary too.. i'll check it out on my way to portland this summer if you mean it. we loved sawtooth valley. man what an amazing scene. the old part of arco idaho was a dream... like out of a...

Not that my opinion has value for your purposes, but prints outside the spread seem like a huge liability for trades longer than scalps too in a mech system. i've been watching these and wondering what the hell makes this possible/fair. i'm totally fresh in my transition from joe public to...

I've also wanted to filter for the same criteria, and experiment with bid ask spread in backtesting. Currently running TS7. Is anyone aware of a platform that provides historical spread data, or an inexpensive source? I'm only aware of Tibco Marketsheet via Reuters data, both not for an...

should have done my homework on this. for anyone looking for TS7 automation into IB TWS, check here: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/discus/messages/2/245.html?1049769352

Have any of you ever automated tradestation with IB? Is there a recommended product, or concensus on a solution to accomplish this?

I'd like to read this, but not if it requires an exe. Can you post as pdf or doc?

Has anyone else ever noticed the inflation of strategy results when using percent trailing stops on 15 min bars or greater in Tradestation? I also posted a question asking if TS7 can automate through IB on their support forum, and they deleted it. If anyone who has done this can shed light...

Novice question. I think I'm almost ready to automate a strategy. Is it possible to automate Tradestation 7 executing on IB? Does this require 3rd party apps? Thanks

To you PA guys considering starting a room, are any of you automated system traders, or all discretionary? I'm making substantial progress fast and planning to have a system up in a month. Interested in linking up later if you guys follow through with this. JQP, where in PA?

I've never traded a mechanical system so far. Further I've never had the luxury of sharing one that works, so these opinions are nothing more... Wouldn't medium to longer term trend following systems benefit from more traders using them (at least the entry portion)? After all, it takes...

can i just add.. i searched 14,000 miles of the usa last summer looking for place to start and learn trading (yeh, i'm fresh) after leaving a wall st career in IT, and I landed in pennsylvania. yes, pennsylvania. I've been all over. lived in asia, been to hawaii, all over europe, etc...
