LOL..:D

If you want to papertrade and have an account with IB why not just go to Buttontrader.com and load their simulator. You can use it free for six months and it is one of the better ones out there. I often use it to test new things. Believe me it gives pretty realistic fills as it takes into...

I keep hearing this but doesnt it work both ways, reward AND risk? They usually go hand in hand.

Well allthough there are plenty of yea votes I must add mine to the list. A long time user of QT and a big fan. I never have any problems but I only track a few futures contracts.

I hope your right. I luvs them bearflags.

I dont see how you can separate YM and ES. One is never going to stray far from the other nor is one going anywhere without the cooperation of the other. I trade both using whichever one is displaying relative weakness/strength for the day. Of course if youre trading 50 cars at a time you...

Bodhidharma must be turning over in his grave.

"When can you reverse? Not until you are making about 150,000 a year per contract on the ES. Its best to do a wash trade several times a week as a warm up for reversals. Once you can do wash trades any day of the week you can then see where revrersals are possibilities and how to extract...

LOL. Good idea. Actually I dont see where piggybacking would hurt you but overall I dont think that would work for intraday trading, at least. Things happen too fast.

If I remember right,when I was usingZone I kept getting probes from the same ip address which ultimately turned out to be my own isp checking the connection or some such thing.:D

Rajin Before we got dsl out here where I am I used a satalitte feed. The upload was still slow but the download speed was pretty fast and worked pretty well for data feed. You might want to check it out.

I have participated in a number of these threads cocerning Jacks methods and it is always the same. Instead of starting at the beginning people tend to jump to the middle and endgame because it is more interesting. Jack has said many times that you should begin by tradng rockets until you have...

It was just curiosity. I read a comment on another site about "first spike" in the prem and I wanted to check it out. I am quite amazed at how tight they keep the spread on that thing. I seldom saw any red or green. Mostly neutral all day. Pretty much useless.

Hope somebody made some money today. I had one wash. Thats the way it goes some days. I need a move to make money. My sct sim trading is pretty much a wash, too. Cant seem to make any headway. One day I do great, the next I give it back. The only time it works well for me is when there are nice...

Nobody was. The only way anybody caught that first leg down is if they were already short. Caught me totally by suprise but I was ready for the second leg. Most days the afternoons will chip away at your account trying to catch breakouts. It just aint worth it, imo. Headfakes are the rule rather...

The only thing that really matters is: did you make any money on the move?

Thanks to Maria the day wasnt a total loss. I had a total of two washes before the bottom fell out. Still trying figure out what happened to my TWS. That is the first time in my memory that it froze. Fortunately Buttontrader alerted me instantly that data was lost. Apparently a few others did...

no. I had to restart. First time I can recall this happening. It did not change color like it usually does when data is lost.

Just got the latest SFO and the first page is an ad for the Tradealong. In the ad it states that 100% of the net proceeds will be donated to MAW at Woodies request. Im am sure Peregrine would not leave themselves open to a legal case so its kind of hard to know whats really going on. I suppose...
