    When buying on pullback goes bad

    Scenario: Intraday trading equities. A strong rally starts to lose steam, pulls back to MA and trendline for the first time. Pull the trigger on the LONG side at or near MA/trendline. Instead of bouncing off and continuing uptrend, it tanks. Questions: 1) Before going LONG at pullback to...

    Software to keep track of day to day trading?

    No Excel, DLADLER. As I explained, my broker's platform can't export to excel or any other format. My solution to this problem is several scripts which read in line by line of the log files of the platform, regex the necessary data, match trades up, and so on. Of course, over time, I have...

    Software to keep track of day to day trading?

    I think I have you all beat. I had to write a program to extract trade info from my platform's log file, pair up opening and closing trades, write this info to separate file. My broker's trading software has no (real) P&L interface, and can't export trade log to excel or even text file.

    Now that CyberTrader is dead! Where have you gone?

    +1 Re: Streemsmart Pro being a "hackjob": I advise to stay away from using the hot keys, particularly the "Close Position". Instead of closing the position, it instead opened up more -- doubling the size of my already open position. That was not fun. Tech support, although usually prompt...

    Beginner reversal question

    speres -- I don't know what "tf" and "tls" are. Things went better today. I removed all indicators from my chart except for volume, and focused just on price behavior. I didn't hesitate this time when I saw STP not able to push through that resistance, so I went short. I prematurely...

    Beginner reversal question

    Newbie question re: the attached picture which has notes on it. This just happened about 30 minutes ago. I was watching the solars fall while LDK reversed and rose. This confused me, and I wanted to see how far this uptrend would go against the grain. After it was all done, of...

    Is IB that good or that bad?

    Bashing is slander, and statements based on factual results are not slander. I never bashed IB. Either you have difficulty reading English, or simply misunderstood my post. Instead of listening to me, try the various platforms and see for yourself. Cheers.

    Is IB that good or that bad?

    richrf -- I too am pondering the same questions you've raised. One thing I have noticed b/w the various well known brokers is the differences b/w their platforms. I have "test-driven" several: Scottrade Elite, MB Trading's Navigator, Schwab Streetsmart Pro, IB TraderWorkstation, among...
