    Automated trading with ninja trader

    Just read the post on your link, the bad questions seem to be quite general, the good ones contain some technical vocabulary and seem to have been asked by people who already know how to program. Since my level of programming is low indeed (I am not even a beginner), can you re-phrase my post...

    Automated trading with ninja trader

    Not sure if it needs programming or if ninja trader 7 can do it from scratch. How can I implement the following simple strategy with ninja trader 7? If price is 40 ticks above the current low of the day sell short, or if price is 40 ticks below the current high of the day buy. The strategy...

    Parking capital safely in stock account

    In an account that allows you to trade stocks and ETFs (exchange traded funds), where can you safely park your money so that it is available almost immediately (within 2-3 days max) and you suffer very little risk of loss on your capital (i.e. you're not invested in stocks for example) and at...

    Commissions adds up in the long run

    100RT / day is nothing for a pro, did you mean 100RT per clip to lease a seat?

    Intraday Indicators

    I spent around 4-5 years looking at indicators, moving averages, adx, RSI etc, they are all worthless. It took me that long to realise they are just good to be binned. I trade without indicators now, my charts show prices, and only prices, screen time is the only thing that is worth something.

    Commissions adds up in the long run

    dumb_mother, 32 cents/contract, is that per side or RT, how many RTs/month are you doing? To the other poster, Bid ask spread also needs to be taken into acount. Now I go for larger targets and stop losses so the bid ask spead and commission affect less my results than they used to. I...

    Commissions adds up in the long run

    After doing 5-10 rounds trips a day on the ES (or another future contract) as a small retail day trader paying retail commission, I realised commission was breaking my account. Say you pay $4.5 RT on ES as a small retail trader. You have a $10,000 account and trade only 1 lot per clip. 10...

    US Central Time vs UK time

    Thanks to all you guys for your posts, link and comments. Indeed, the link is quite useful, not only it gives the current time, but works it out in terms of GMT time and it says when we flip from summer to winter time. Indeed, Chicago and London do not flip from summer time to winter time on...

    US Central Time vs UK time

    Thanks The1, the 6 hours difference with the UK makes sense to me because I see the big moves from 13.30 onwards London time usually, which is 7.30am in Chicago, the time of the economic news as you said. From a charts perspective, I believe it makes sense to start the day session at 7.30...

    US Central Time vs UK time

    Question for the people living in the US. I live in the UK and I am not to familiar with the US central time conversion into UK time. I am trying to split my trading charts into night session and day session for the future contract symbol ZF (5-Year U.S. Treasury Note Futures) On the...

    Scaling out with Ninja Trader

    Just had another look at the Ninja trader videos library and I believe that what I am looking for cannot be done in ninja trader. You can only move the stop based on a price touched condition rather than an order filled condition as far as I can see. If someone managed to move a stop based...

    Scaling out with Ninja Trader

    Say you clip 2 futures contracts at a time to enter a long position, you set up the same stop loss level for both lots. Say your trade turns into profit territory and you want to scale out your exit (i.e. you exit the first lot when you reach target 1 and you exit the second lot when you reach...

    PC remote control via android phone

    I installed Teamviewer 6 on the android and the PC and it works fine for remote control. Using the remote mouse pointer is fine for single click or right click but I find it hard to use to re-size the vertical axis on a Ninja trader chart. It's easy to zoom in and zoom out but I could not find...

    PC remote control via android phone

    With regards to Mikogo, I haven't installed the software yet, but from reading the user manual, it looks like you need to send an invit from your PC to the android or vice versa, so if I am not at home, how do I do that? you need to have someone at home to accept the invit you send from your...
