IB FIX costs extra. What you might do is build a plain IB ATS, but design it so that there is an interface between your strategy and broker/data-provider protocol(s), so that your strategy is independent of that lower-level stuff. I think jsystemtrader now supports either IB or OpenTick...

Before they pass bills to pay off your home equity line (aka 2nd mortgage), they would have to kill a lot of us (the majority) who object to such things.

Astronomy used to be bad science, just like SCT is bad technical analysis. It used to be thought that the planets moved in circles around the sun. It used to be thought that price moved in channels. As time went by and observation became keener, people found problems with the idea that...

After realizing that i've given away the store, I would delete it. But I see it's been quoted, so it's out there. In the public domain, so to speak.

Here's an unlikely strategy: front-run an ema crossover. To do this you have to go with the last bar's ema, then with each tick before the next bar, treat the new tick as the closing price of the next bar. Compute a prospective ema for the next bar -- what it would be if the next bar closes...

If either jack or spyder were making the kind of money that SCT is claimed to produce, they would be well known, at many places other than ET.

Ha ha ha! SCT is all about creating the impression that you can trade well (the hindsight charts look good, don't they?). Once you do that, you have all kinds of naive people willing to let you trade their money. Risk free trading capital -- what a racket.

Joe, I have no doubts about your testing and trading abilities. I do wonder, however, whether a strategy without targets or stops is a buy-and-hold system. Do you ever exit?

Fed rate cuts right now just scream, "We are in trouble. Hope this helps!"

The rent vs. price relationship still indicates more decline. Of course, if rents go up, then prices may not decline as much. Recent op-ed in the NY Times, considering that relationship, estimated a 30% decline nationally. In Tucson, it's estimated that house prices are 35% too high, considering...

The nikkei tanked yesterday. It's decline today isn't so bad. It has something to do with the strength of the yen vs. the dolllar ;-)

TA has a mathematical basis? Could someone elaborate on that? Do you think TA is a science? Physics has a mathematical basis.

Hershey method will get you there and some more. The power of compoiunding!

Quote from marcbrown: Jack Hersheys rules are in the back pocket of "the kings clothes" written on an invisible piece of paper... don't you see them? Jacks cult member's do see the invisible paper.... what's wrong with us. It's easy to see that Jack's method isn't a realtime method...

Before anyone gets too excited about cars for the masses in India, check out the driving conditions! Elephants on the road, fender-benders galore, crowds of pedestrians and two-wheelers. That Tata Nano has wheel bearings that are only rated for use up to 45 MPH, which may be adequate...

Hi, Arthur I am new to psychophysics. Does that field include size of the chart? I have noticed that it is a good idea to have charts with a lot of room. What I mean by that is that you don't want to be faked-out into thinking that a top/bottom is in just because price is currently at the...

I bet it was Bonsai Buckaroo.

Excellent advice. I'd say that anywhere you can't see them cooking, mixing -- whatever they do -- you're asking for trouble.

r2r: red-to-red b2b: black-to-black Look at the color of the volume bars in the interval. Whoops! Tums just deleted his post that showed that! Mustn't make it too easy.
