Paradox that from intraday pov, fundamentals can be experienced as random ! How can fundamentals be random ? o_O Another reason to ask "What is really meant by 'random' ?"...

After 3hour chat w/ IB Support this morning: => IF you have issues w/ unusually slow TWS load, it may be due to an issue that is suspected to be related to chart processing in v979 => WORKAROUND: install v978 Worked for me, at least. Since ~Jun loads have been periodically extremely slow...

Hello Mick, & Others who concur w/ -- ? Do your 'old' methods no longer work, or do your new methods just get better and better ?

IMO better than a demo/paper account is to trade real but very very small money, eg R = 1/20th of 1PCT of your account. For me at least, the psych/neuro-motor difference between risking 0 money vs risking real money, no matter how small the $, is huge. Demo/paper just does not feel real. My...

Yesterday, more Brooks critique of backtesting [my blue-lighting] -- Strength usually leads to more strength CNBC has an interesting article that compares the current market to prior markets. The 3 month rally was exceptionally strong, up 20%.There have been 9 other times since World War II...

"Price Management Algo" -- just off the phone w/ IB, as I was wondering too ... KEY: it's probably relevant only if you are trading over the counter or other relatively illiquid products. At time of LMT order submit, if your limit level is outside the zone between the levels of the floor and...

I rarely use MKT orders w/ IB, and when I do IB usually follows up with the same email warning about MKT orders, effectively(?) insulating IB legally, as well as reminding me that MKT orders aren't such a good idea. Do others w/ IB receive these email warnings ? I have never received a poor...

& observational threads like Volpri's esp. rare [ observation ]

"profit compounding" -- of $hort-term trades Another counter-intuitive. What ? -- Usually one thinks of scalping, Volpri's favorite tack, as for hyped-up impatient minds that can focus for only a few minutes at a time, minds lost to anything longer (or for minds periodically pulled away from...

p. 10 of Hurst's "The Profit MAGIC of Stock Transaction Timing" -- the big money in investing stems from the principle of "profit compounding" -- of short-term trades

CONT of my full reply above: it may be that you are familiar only w/ the TWS Mosaic interface, as the video shows TWS Classic. But the latter is fully supported now, and the workflows for each are almost identical. If you want to use TWS, you need to put in a little more due diligence...

I haven’t read Volpri’s thread here for months. Why ? Because I’ve been attempting to average down, as Volpri (still ? ;) ) regularly recommends. Taking that approach, along w/ a few other tweaks, has delivered to me the best results I’ve had. I’ve exited several profitable trades that had...

Something potentially very important in IB's favor: o Reputation for tight risk management on customer leverage ie fails of other over-leveraged customers have much lower probability of bankrupting IB and thus your account IB risk-rates EVERY tradable and periodically reviews the rating...

THREAD CONTENT DELETED -- PERCEIVED ORDER ISSUE TURNED OUT TO BE NON-ISSUE AFTER CHART REFRESHED

Good ole USA never meddles in other countrys's elections, never has, never will

I recently heard a market professional say that 60% of currency trading is via futures. I'd think that futures volume would be applicable to FX trading of currencies ? You'd likely have to get the data from a source other than the FX broker if it does not also offer currency futures, though...

"You sure this isn't like seeing patterns in the stars in the night sky?" A: Finding when that's not the case is a big part of the work "Surely, since you've put in so much of this hard work, you have great insights to tell us" A: Re-read the "Consider..." entry "How do you know when you win...
