This sounds like something you will have to ask for. It does not sound like this would be the "default" option. I'm still unsure what the charts I'm seeing at FXCM represent. I highly doubt the charts encompass all of the trading in a given pair from around the globe. I doubt if even a...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!! Thank you. Have a happy holiday. Banker

Kind of strange that the big boys are using market orders. I always thought they would need to use limits. I wouldn't send a market order in for 100 YM contracts. Banker

I have noticed some problems since Reuters took over. For a while when they put up the "new" netscreen (aka Powerscreener) the amount of pop ups or pop unders was out of line. Every time you adjusted the screening criteria or used a function of the screener a new one would attack. In...

Maybe your longer term trading should focus on those stocks which are trending in your direction longer term. You may also want to focus on picking stocks in certain industry groups when you plan on holding positions for a while. Banker

For the Multex screener, my friend Ace made a pretty cool weighted Relative Strength user variable: ({Pr13W%Chg}+(2*{Pr26W%Chg})+{Pr52W%Chg})/4 It works pretty good for finding the strongest intermediate term price trends. I have lots of custom variables for Multex. Banker BTW you...

What's probably happening to you is that you are getting updated versions of the applet. They do fairly frequent updating, and when there is a new version, you have no choice but to download it. In the past the updates were an option versus a requirement, but that is no longer the case. I...

Just download the little applet and you will have access to the stock screener. It's free, and it will do exactly what you want it to do. In addition you can run the screen during the day and get results if you so choose. Intraday data is delayed, not real time though. It's worth...

I like this one: http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/finder/finderx.asp?Query=SV1QF252Z01F114Z04L50000ZF3Z04L2Z&Name=High%20On%20Balance%20Volume&Tickers=200 For longs when the major market trend is bullish. Adjust the average volume and price to your liking of course. I also...

http://www.killdisk.com/ I've never tried it, but it looks like it would work. Banker

Small initial then wider trailing. When I first put on a trade I'm not willing to risk much. Once it has moved in my favor I'm willing to give it some room to run. Banker

You probably should. Many Chinese stocks have been performing very well. It seems like lots of money is flowing in that direction. Even the closed end funds etc. that deal with that area are seeing what looks like a big bull market. We'll see though. I'm watching CYD these days, in addition...

LOL, these are the dot coms. How quickly people forget... Banker

I think your trades tell you plenty about what the "market" is doing. Just as much as watching the indices. If distribution is starting across the board, it will show up in your positions soon enough. Plus if you watch the indices, you can become biased about taking certain trades or exiting...

Steve at IB confirmed the availability of doing what I want over on the Retail Firms forum. It's pretty neat. You can use these orders on options too. If you shorted the DIA SSF, you could have your buy to cover trigger off of the Dow Jones Industrial Average value if you wanted. Or you...

Thanks Steve, That is a really nice feature. I am so impressed with the types of orders your brokerage allows me to place. I love it! Banker

Thanks for responding. My concern is that if the SSF isn't trading often, the stops might not trigger at the exact places where I want them to. I suppose I could do the double bid/ask trigger method, but I really like double last for my trading. Maybe I will try out the demo version for...

Hopefully Hio or somebody else who is familiar with these instruments can provide some clarity here. I want to trade a single stock future, but I want my orders to trigger when the underlying moves in price. To do this I think I would make a conditional order. As an example: I want to...
