    Ninja Trader - order/stop loss question

    I'd be worried that the computer crashed and never sent the stop.

    Ninja Trader - order/stop loss question

    I'm thinking of using Ninja Trader for Bracket Orders. I use these for position trades that usually execute while I sleep. If I enter a strategy on the DOM with a stop loss and profit target, what happens if I go to sleep and turn off the computer. When I log off I have the limit order (lets...

    Why US futures so strong?

    Certainly possible though we didn't really start selling off viciously on the ES until Europe opened. So, if we don't sell off then, then I'll maybe believe the "conspiracy theory" I'd figure it more likely that they'd push things down as much as possible into an emergency Fed cut at 8:30...

    Why US futures so strong?

    What am I missing? Yesterday and today Asian stocks were hammered and most likely so will European stocks in a few hours. Some of the Asian indices are down double digits for the two days. This morning the ES sold off to 1256 and the ER2, YM and NQ were equally weak. Since then, the Asian...

    Marrying for money

    Wow, this thread is making me glad I'm not married! Hell, I'm glad I'm not dating. Seriously though....how correlated is your guy's trading with being single vs dating/married? I find that when I'm in a relationship or dating, I trade like a jackass. All the emotional up and down that is...

    Ensign Software

    I am having trouble viewing Nikkei Mini charts on Ensign through Interactive Brokers feed. Can anyone who trades the Nikkei let me know what symbol they use to bring up the charts? Thanks!

    Los Angeles/Santa Monica Meetup

    Hi, We are a small group of traders who meet up once a month in Santa Monica. We are having our last public meeting before holding them privately. In the past, we've had a lot of beginners show up and would like to transition to a meeting of more experienced traders (basically anyone who...

    IB on a Mac

    I have a MacBook...been running IB TWS for about a year on it. No complaints...runs great. Recently started using it on Vista thru Boot Camp...works great too. Can't think of any issues whatsoever.

    What do you think about what Jim Rogers has to say?

    Great post OT. Everybody is promoting something, it's a pointless criticism. I guess Jim Rogers, Sykes and Surf are all in the same category because they are self-promoters?

    Memo to Soybeans

    Yeah...especially visible today. Beans were down 10, I came back and they were up 5. Piggybacking on Crude.

    Memo to Soybeans

    I thought it was bean oil that was the correlation but I guess it doesn't matter since they are all ultimately related to crude.

    Memo to Soybeans

    When Crude is up a bunch...you're supposed to go up too. Not particularly bullish.

    BOX...oh you suck

    Jesus...I don't even trade BOX and I hate them. Every frickin day I get a IB notification "BOX is unavailable due to tech problems at the exchange" How crap do you have to be to have problems every day for 2 weeks? How can I unsubscribe from BOX? Is there a worse US exchange?

    WTF is up with wheat on IB?

    Yeah, you're stuck until after hours. We've all been there. Its a good idea to check the daily volume and trading hours before you open a position. Interactive brokers has a good search on their front page (Help...Contract Search) that allows you to see what the trading hours are. You would...

    GBP/USD trading

    +1 Frank just saved you a bunch of time and effort. If you can find a way NOT to fall into the noob trap of looking to have someone else give you a system you'll be a step ahead of the game. Even if you found someone else's system that was profitable you probably wouldn't be able to trade it...
