Hey Surf, Are you still short CROX or did you stop out and waiting for re-entry? Thanks!

As a trader, I'm happy to test any new trading ideas I could incorporate into my trading that would help me improve my profitability. If an trading idea fails to be realistic/profitable, I continue my search and move on. I don't believe anyone alive can consistently capture 3x the ATR...

It's really easy to draw trendlines on 5 min charts at the end of the day and explain how you would capture every trend in the day achieving 3x ATR in profits. It's not possible realtime within the noise of the 5 min bar. If you wait till the close of the bar, it's already too late if it's a...

No kidding. A few years back, I copied every single one of Jack's post on ET and other dedicated websites into a word document to decipher. After spending a few days trying to figure out the secret of capturing multiples of the ATR through his posts, I surrendered. I printed out charts...

Another time, I was margined 3x my Cash Balance going into the close. I had a MOC to close the entire position at end of the day. My MOC cannot be canceled so there is NO reason for them to liquidate my position. IB auto-liquidates my position down to 2x my Cash Balance in the last 10...

I have a Buy-Stop with two attached orders. 1. Stop-Loss if the Price goes down 2. Sell MOC if Stop-Loss isn't triggered If any of the 2 attached orders execute, it should cancel the other order. There was 1 day where the market took a dive the last 10 minutes and multiple orders...

WTF. I had a sell order and it traded 30 cents past my order and never executed. I canceled and tried again and it didn't help. I tried changing the order to ARCA only and invalid order popped up. Anyone else having execution issues?

Wow, seems like everyone trying to help has reading comprehension problems like the IB guy. The original post didn't ask when the feature was implemented. The questions are: How does the Save on Server setting work if you are running TWS from multiple computers? Does it save each...

Looks like it's fixed now.

The bids are higher than the ask for many stocks. I restarted TWS but no change. Anyone else have this same issue?

LOL, then they come post on ET and complain about bad customer service. Tie up the phone line for the people who have a real issue once a year.

I laughed when I read that article. No more license to steal.

A more accurate poll would be what percent of your account capital do you make in 1 year? (Buying Power / 4 instead of account capital if you're in a prop firm) I use to think 1% a day was possible when I first started trading. Now, I know a consistent 20-30% a year with minimal drawdowns...

Type up your AFL in the Formula Editor Press the "Check Syntax" button at top. It will tell you the line number and error message if there is any errors in your code.

The trial version only works on daily charts. Only the purchased pro version has intraday charts. Amibroker is a good product at a great price for testing on daily charts. It took me a while to read through all the manuals and learn the features and language. There is 1 main thing that...

Find yourself a profitable trader and kiss their ass until they take you on as a student. Otherwise, take some prop firm training classes with a group of other students and learn how to churn your account with useless scalping strategies. The desk fee and commissions will finish your account...

Good Year.. Make $75 million. Bad Year.. Fund Closes. They are probably laughing at all the investors now. RANK: 29 (TIED) Brian Hunter CITY: Calgary, Alberta FIRM: Amaranth Advisors AGE: 32 Shunned by Deutsche Bank a few years ago, Hunter landed on both feet. Within six...

Haahaa, he's just being honest. He didn't even call him insulting names. Looks like your the one who has the foul mouth.

Do you buy at the open or close price? What percentage of your portfolio to you allocate to 1 position?
