    Rithmic Programmatic Trading Interfaces API

    Yes, I tried once, just to see how it was working. I was thinking of switching broker, but finally stayed with IB. I managed to send an order and received a fill (paper trade). Took me a few hours to code everything with the examples they were providing.

    Actual data supporting no use of stop losses

    LOL... You wouldn't be able to convince a 6 yrs old kid with that example. There are more than one ways to make money with trading (not investing!). Good for the ones who can make money without Stop Orders. But saying that one way of trading is stupid is just another way to show to everyone how...

    Offshore formation for Canadians

    How will you manage your personal tax reports? Any money that will be 'transfered' from your corporation to you will have to be declared in Canada (if you want to stay 'legit'). Unless you give up your Canadian tax status. Just residing outside Canada doesn't qualify you as such (as you probably...

    Poll:How many points up or down will the dow close on Monday

    I don't know how much I win or lose on a 0.5% move. But I know on a 5 pts move. And I really don't care if the market is up or down. Maybe it's just me. I also don't watch CNBC, so I can't comment about that part.

    Poll:How many points up or down will the dow close on Monday

    In percentage??? Who think about percentage, certainly not traders... Traders make money off of points, not percentage.

    Price TA Identified The Top Before 500 Point Drop Yesterday..

    Sorry if I misunderstood you. When I read 'I'm going to buy small ES' I thought you were going to go long. And I understood also that you were referring the to 50D SMA. Again, my bad. And I was asking a genuine question. Are you the same guy as Scat but under a different nick?

    Price TA Identified The Top Before 500 Point Drop Yesterday..

    Well, you're the one bragging about your ability to call the market. I'm just pointing out that everything you're showing is after the fact. Anyone can be a master trader when looking at the past. You might be a real master trader, but you're not helping yourself by showing things happening in...

    Price TA Identified The Top Before 500 Point Drop Yesterday..

    I just wrote that you are SHOWING this after the fact. Why did you wait after the fact? It would have been nice to show this when one of your 'if' was just happening.

    Price TA Identified The Top Before 500 Point Drop Yesterday..

    Ok, but lol...you,re still showing the result after the fact. Next time, why not calling the shot BEFORE it happens?

    What Matters More: Entry or Exit?

    Winners and losers are determined when you close a position, "at the exit". You haven't win or lose until you close a position, "at the exit". IMO, too much emphasis is put on the entries. With the same entry, most of the time you can have either a win or a lost, depending on the exit.
