There have been major internet problems countrywide today. I just got an alert from nextrend that they are changing to the AT&T backbone as the problems are with UUNET/WCOM. Hopefully it will be better for you this afternoon.

A couple of months ago I was experiencing a significant lag on my IB quotes. The market depth on the emini's was always about 3-4 levels off. I asked other IB users if they were having the same problem and nobody else was. At around the same time I also started having major computer problems and...

No. All but 622mil was cancelled 'before' execution. Therefor only 622 mil was executed.

I have been a nextrend user for 6 months. I haven't had any lag problems at all. They also respond to any emails I send on the same business day. I did have some connectivity problems a while ago. They advised me to change the settings (on login screen) to: Address: comrte.nextrend.com...

I currently use Nextrend with IB. Have had very few problems with Nextrend (both software and datafeed)and it is good value at around $100/month. You can get a cheaper version of it but it only allows for (I think) 4 open windows and has pop up ads. The full version allows for 16 windows per...

Would this anger (in trading) not lead to overtrading and bigger losses? Or is anger at yourself not necessarily the same as anger at the market/your opponent and therefor should be encouraged. eg, "I am pissed at myself for not following my rules" = OK "I am pissed at the market for taking...

Ctrader. What do you do if you get an engulfing bar or an inside bar? Thanks

One hundred trades is less than 10 days of trading! Not exactly the 'long run'! I am working on something similar to this but with different time intervals. I'll be looking to forward test this for at least 500 trades (produces 20-25 trades per day), and to manually backtest for at least 3000...

One of the nice things about this kind of trading is that at the very end it boils down to "what do I think the market is going to do in the next 30 secs." The "when do I take a trade" question is gone. You are forced to make a decision on the market direction at every point your time factor...

I am using the close of the previous bar on a 1 minute chart. If you look at a chart of 1 minute bars, the close of the previous bar is rarely at the extreme of the other bar, therefor you will nearly always get filled on a backfill through your limit. The only times that you definitely won't...

There is no slippage. Entries and exits are using a limit order. I made sure that the price traded through my limit before accepting an entry as really happening or recording a profit. There may be the occassional time where the price will run away from your limit entry in which case there will...

I just picked a random timeframe of every 15minutes starting at 9:45. This allowed me the occassional cigarette should I wish. It could easily have been every 10 minutes or every time my cat meowed. It would be interesting to see the results if I shifted all trades back or forward 5 minutes.

I already mentioned that earlier when i said that the reverse trade could be a system all on its own. With that said however, it is only one day's worth of results so I am not going to get excited about it. (He say's while doing cartwheels inside his 10x10 office).

Just finished up last trade at 3:30pm. 16 winners, 8 losers. All 8 losers were reversed for a b/e trade. So therefor: 32 trades 24 winners (16 @ 1pt, 8 @ 1.25pts) 8 losers @ 1.25pts. Gross pts: +16. I will continue to papertrade this for a few days to see how it pans out.

Now at 14 winners, 8 losers (all 8 reversed for b/e)

Ditto. This thread has got me thinking about a whole different way of trading.:)

I would definitely consider that as long as I had the same kind of confidence. It's all a game of numbers, if the probability remains high after a long period of testing, then there's no reason not too. In fact, why not put on even more size if it has a strong probability of going your way...

Although I think the point difference will make a difference to you win %, it should still average around 50% before commissions on the profit side as the number of additional winners will be offset by the larger individual losses. I think your true edge lies in your use of your indicator to...

Therein lies YOUR edge.:)
