I think in my case it isn't so much a lack of trust in myself. I have looked at enough of my trades to realize I can make money if I can modify my behaviours. For me I think it is a bit more Pavlovian. Haven taken so many hits in this learning process, I hear the dinner bell go off when I am...

Oops. I just noticed a little mistake on the screen shot. In the summary text of the trade I said that I bailed at 826.50. The actual price I bailed at was 828.50 (still +1.0 point).

Just thought I'd resurrect this thread with at least one more post. I have traded nearly every day since my last post and still find this job difficult. I have however determined what I believe to be my number one problem. Reading a section of Schwager's The New Market Wizard's, I came across...

I've considered writting an app for Mac OS X, but the real trouble is finding a realtime datafeed. There is TrackData via Java, but so far that seems to be it.

When auto-hiding the cursor crosshairs in an advanced chart, I think the labels for the crosshairs should also be auto-hidden. It drives me nuts to see the price and time labels just sitting there at random locations. Also, do time templates not work for anyone else when using "seconds"...

Kind of strange, in that Interactive Brokers web site is down also. If things happen in threes, there must have been at least one other trading related web site down.

I believe you can also jump back a screen at a time by holding down the control key and hitting the left arrow. That's a bit faster than dragging the screen.

I would think the daily bars are stored on the server as "single" daily bars. Meaning, there is no way for them to give you a specific time portion of those bars as it is an all or nothing deal. With minute bars, they can obviously just not send the minutes you don't want. To do what you want...

If I had to quess, I'd say the daily chart is using data for the full 24 hour day, while your 15 minute chart is not.

[B] eSignal's DataManager "traffic cop" would deny such a request before it ever reached the servers. No harm done. An API doesn't automatically equal death to servers. A well written API with safeguards is no worse than running the vendor's own application. [B] And, RealTick has a...

Sure you can. :) Just as long as you state up front that it is unsupported. I understand what you are saying, but doesn't the API require us to go through the TurboFeed DataManager? Doesn't it (or it easily could) limit the types of behaviors that could adversely affect your servers...

I understand this point as well, which is why I said I would be happy even if they didn't provide tech support for SDK users.

Access to the data feed. I use a C++ app for charting and trading which I wrote myself. I would like to use eSignal for the data, but it isn't currently possible because of your stance on not allowing non-corporate 3rd parties access to the SDK. DDE is not enough as I need to get historical...

FWIW, the KT133a is produced by VIA, not nVidia.

An illegal short sale is selling long when you don't already own the shares. When you short, you are instructing the broker to loan you shares to sell. If you don't ask them to loan them to you as a short sale, then you are selling something you don't have, nor did you borrow. You are...

Oh, I just love hearing that. Could you say it again please? :D

Not sure if this is what they are referring to, but to me it means three point break (also known as the three line break). It is a method of charting price movement. Here is a link that might help: http://www.equis.com/Education/TAAZ/?page=108 I personally just plot the reversal points...

I don't use BracketTrader, but had been (and still do when I lose discipline) trading in a similar fashion. I later went back and charted all trades and discovered that "any profit" was not in fact a good trade. Grabbing those smaller targets cost me a large amount of money. If you do this...

The confusion is that when they talk about DDR memory (Double Data Rate) which transfers information on both edges of the clock, they talk about the effective clock rate as opposed to the real clock rate. So when they say 266 MHz, that is the effective speed of the memory bus, but the bus is...

Yes. The ISP would be measuring the number of bytes flowing into your system. They wouldn't know the difference between you downloading a file and you streaming RealTick data. Both use bandwidth.
