IB is good for order entry although their quotes can suck sometimes. Less than $5 roundtrip. You will need another quote/charting package however. I use Nextrend for around $100/mth. By using an "Always on Top" program I can integrate the IB Interface into my charting platform. (Or at least make...

Just got a bulletin from IB. Between 10:48-10:55 Globex experienced problems that resulted in slow order response. It is now fixed.

Sorry. Screwed up on the quote/answer thing. Hope you can work it out.

I agree with this thinking. Although not everyone agrees with hard stops, I think if you are struggling, this is the way to go. It will be very tempting to throw in some discretion into your exits during a trade but you must maintain the discipline to let the trade play out. In effect, you will...

Obviously you answered "A" for question 1.:D

Is this true Don. If so do you also provide them for your remote traders?:)

Could you please expand on this a bit. Is it because earlier data is a distraction? Or perhaps because ma's and indicators may be screwed up? It would be interesting to find out why this helps you. Thanks

Qwiktrade Do you keep a hard stop or do you tighten it as a trade goes in your favor, eg bring stop to b/e at 1R or trail a stop. I use a similar R:R strategy but my R:R is 2:1. I normally bring my stop to b/e at 1R. For a while I thought that I was giving up some profit by bringing the...

I would tend to agree with funster. The market has had some great intraday moves in the last week where an 'always in the market' strategy would be great. I would just enjoy the rollercoaster ride and milk it for everything I could.

I don't use S/R as a reason to enter a trade but will use it to make sure my target price is attainable. For example, if I see a long setup that I like but there is overhead resistance (as I see it) that can possibly stop the upward momentum before my trade reaches at least a 2:1 RR then in all...

For Nextrend customers the current symbols for the Sept contracts are: NQP2'CM for the Naz emini. ESP2'CM for the S&P emini.

Back in the early bear days I was trading a small etrade account ($5000) and didn't know much. At the end of the day, while I was still at work at my previous job, I noticed something about Apple that interested me. I don't remember what it was at the time but I decided to buy at the close in...

This could perhaps be a regular fixture of ET as a way of settling disputes. Challenge your adversary to a trading duel. "Select your weapons gentlemen" "20EMA on a 15min chart at 25 paces" Loser gets banished from ET for life.

I think 11,783 'members' are actually aliases of TraderX.:)

Ditto:)

Why not get a hold of Andersons client list and short a basket of them.:)

Thanks for responding Riesgo but it is not there. Even a search for Dos does not bring up the command.

I had trouble with my DSL service this afternoon. While talking with a technician I was instructed to bring up the DOS Command Box. What seemed like a simple request turned difficult as I was unable to find the DOS Command. There is no Dos Command on my programs menu and I have been unable to...

If you have a methodology that works using hard stops, then there is nothing wrong with using them. There are many different ways to trade. I have found that for 'my' trading hard stops are more profitable. I can't speak for anyone else however. My point was that "IF" you use hard stops then...
