    i can not short spy on tws

    trend2009, I also saw this last Fri, 1 Nov, and now this morning 09h00 CST. This is very unusual in my experience w/ IB. SH is an alternative, but not so good if you do a lot of annotation of intraday SPY charts, use ChartTrader, and want to look at the same intraday chart for longs and shorts...

    Maybe, but Live Chat was also unavailable, don't know if that's separate a component or not. Many pieces in the chain, too little info for diagnosis.

    Techniques for Day Trading the ES, NQ, YM, MES, MNQ, and MYM

    My sense is that volpri's trading approach may be difficult to assimilate bc unlike anyone else who describes their trading, he gives highest priority to his assessment win probability, and thus takes trades that from a probability-independent risk reward calculation are often terrible. But...

    Manual strategy testing

    I've seen several podcasters use and enthusiastically recommend "ForexTester" https://forextester.com/ Haven't used it myself as I do the same directly off any chart and just remember (!); forextester records results of trades you make with it against a chart -- provides as much automation...

    I entered at low of 09h00 CST bar and made 3 exits by 09h24 for 1.2R profit. And then pissed at myself for not holding longer. And then pissed at myself for not quitting for the day ... Every trader and trade is different. There's no such thing as THE Trader's Equation. Rather, there's...
