Hi all, I have two very quick questions that I'm sure somebody can help me with. First: When analyzing charts(1min, 5min, 60min) and technical indicators, do you normally include all price data on the chart(including premarket and post market trades)? For example, during the first...

I'm of course new at trading and there are a lot of experienced traders who might have your answer but I'll tell you my basic set up. Executions through Interactive Brokers, price data and charts with Qcharts, Trade Prospector for S/R levels. I have 3min charts up all day on TICK, TRIN, 5min...

I don't what formula TP uses but I do know that I don't have to do any tedious number crunching each night:)

also it's important to not blindly follow S/R levels but also the action of the stock near those levels and especially I look at MACD histogram(signal line crossing MACD line, trend of histogram, etc,), volume, oscillators like Stochastics and especially the condition of the futures and TICK.

El Cazador, thanks for the reply. I actually didn't bring up the Journal to start typing until noon..(I was up this morning at 8am sharp:) but before noon I just tried the undergroundtrading.com calls but I didn't mention them in my writing. Actually those BP,etc. are support and...

Jnpr and cien. It seems to work on first tier large caps

June was my first month trading although I've been around the markets as a broker for the last two years out of college. Couldn't take the conflict of interest between generating commissions in a bear market and the clients interests on the other side.. Anyway, I didn't have a good month last...

Today I twice used Stop Market with BEST_ECN on nasdaq stocks. The stops where executed .06 cents against me on both trades. ie. slippage was .06. I guess its not to bad. these were high volume liquid stocks, however. So it may vary on stocks with wider spreads.

Being a relatively new trader I am learning the hard way that I can't rely on my discretion to manage mental stop orders. With Interactive Brokers if I place a Stop Market order on Best_ECN for a Nasdaq stock, does the order become a market order when the last price for the best ECN hits my...

I've used Qcharts for two months now. On a few(3-4) occasions I've been disconnected from one of the servers that they use. The program then switched over to a different server automatically within 20seconds. Also there is a third-party program that I use that lets you specify which of their...

Qcharts from Quote.com is what I use. The program has worked great for me. Some people say it has problems with its server connection but its worth a look..

Vikana, I also use a matrox millenium dual-head(G450) with win2000 but I use a seperate resolution for each monitor. *Display properties *settings *advanced *dual-head *multi-display settings Maybe we have a different model#?

I've actually been using best_ECN exclusively the last two days with no problems. I only use two market lines per stock now(best_execution and best_ECN) and use best_ECN for all orders. Outside the market orders sit on Island with best_ECN. However, I don't trade more than 300 shares at a...

Hello, What ECN does a non-marketable limit order reside on when using BEST_ECN execution? Island, Instinet, RDBK? thanks

Hello, I want to change the default on IB TWS from clicking on the bid and having the order line default to SELL: to clicking on the bid and having it default to BUY. And Vice-versa when clicking on the offer. Is it possible to change this default? thanks

I have an IDSL connection with Qcharts and Interactive brokers and have only had one instance where Qcharts data feed diconnected. The program automatically switched immediately to a different server withing 20seconds. I've only had Qcharts for a couple months but so far I haven't had the same...

Yes, IB has SOES but ECN orders are almost instantaneous if their is a matching order. Definetely use an ECN if possible.

Does anybody know of any good software that will let you import all your trades for the day(From Interactive Brokers Export function), and keep track of P/L, etc... Thank for the help, Matt
