    Black Friday Surprise equivalent to a surprise Fed cut?

    Big deal, I work in the retail business, and I have never seen this many people using their credit cards, and some people actually had to go through a couple of credit cards, until they find one that would work. The sales may have increased, but so did the debt. Most of the customers that...

    Is anyone trading the Nikkei 225 Mini?

    Thanks Def, didn't know about that one. Schaefer Edit: There's no information available about SGXNKM on IB's website. Will they be updating soon?

    Is anyone trading the Nikkei 225 Mini?

    GC, that's a good mistake :p The full size contract is a little too rich for my account also. Are you converting the profits back to US Dollars? So far, I have been keeping the profits in Yen. The way the US dollar is falling, I think I might have made a couple of extra bucks for nothing :D...

    Is anyone trading the Nikkei 225 Mini?

    Hello TraderD72, sorry for the wait. In the US the weekend after the Thanksgiving Day is nothing but eating left overs, and SHOPPING :D I have switched over to Hong Kong server, and very happy so far. I have been trading it, just not every day. I sometimes have to work late into the...

    How do I enter YM symbol in QuoteTracker

    ECBOT:@YM DEC 07 Three spaces between YM, and DEC. And one space between DEC, and 07. This assuming, you're using IB :) Schaefer Edit: Due to ET's auto editing, it won't show the correct spacing on the example above. But just follow the instruction.

    TransActAT platform

    I use InfinityAT, which is essentially the same as TransactAT. The DOM interface is as simple as it can be, and the executions are incredible, and very fast. The commissions are based on amount of volume you will be generating. But even a piker like me with less than 10 round trips per day...

    IB vs TS vs OE

    Nope, you won't find a brokerage that's 100% reliable 24/7. They all have their own share of problems. The best thing to do is to have a primary account with your favorite brokerage, and an emergency back up account with a different brokerage. But if you do use IB, then be prepared to look...

    AHG - Profitable Strategy for Struggling Traders

    Hi, hwkaiser, thank you for your efforts on the notes. And as for QT, you cannot write your own indicators on QT. You could however send the formulas, and the detailed descriptions to the support team, and they maybe able to help. Good luck, Schaefer

    Anyone have a problem with QuoteTracker Charts this morning?

    Are you using IB data feed also? If so, it's not QT's bug, it's IB's data feed. Try comparing it to one of the data vendors, such as IQ Feed, and you'll see the difference right away. Schaefer

    Anyone have a problem with QuoteTracker Charts this morning?

    Hey, you're using 16807 volume candle chart, right? It that's the case, it's the volume spike in the data. Usually happens with IB data. Did you try clearing the data, and then re-backfilling it? Good luck, Schaefer

    Data provides and Brokerages

    ZLT has charting capabilities, but no where near the level as QT. Schaefer

    Data provides and Brokerages

    I second what BlackBison said. If you're just starting out, keep the cost down to minimal. IB+QT+Zeroline Trader (ZLT) is all you need. IB for data, QT for charts, and ZLT for both simulation, and real time trade executions. QT, and ZLT (simulation mode) could be had for free, so even if you...

    IB midnight reboots (Eastern time)

    I have moved my account log in, to HK servers since last Monday. I couldn't be happier, as I don't have to deal with the dreaded US server reset around Midnight, anymore. I trade the MHI (Mini HSI), and N225M (Mini Nikkei), and the data seem to be a bit more smoother than the US server. It...

    Is anyone trading the Nikkei 225 Mini?

    Okay, I see it now. I had the "Show pre/after market" option turned off :D The volume is pretty low though, I guess it'll take a while to catch on. Thanks Def, Schaefer

    Is anyone trading the Nikkei 225 Mini?

    Hi all, a quick question to Learner2007, Def, or someone who knows; the evening session for N225M supposedly started since Sept. 18th. But I'm not seeing any trading activities, can you confirm if it has started, and if IB is relaying data? Regards, Schaefer

    Is anyone trading the Nikkei 225 Mini?

    Hi Kiwi, I still have not switched over to Hong Kong server yet, but you're correct, the down time lasted just a few seconds. For example, the system reset tonight was at 12:19 am. I barely noticed the brief outage for just a few seconds. Then it backfilled automatically, and all was fine...

    Is anyone trading the Nikkei 225 Mini?

    For those of you who need a time template for OSE for QT. This is what I'm using right now. If I'm missing anything, please feel free to correct. Schaefer Edit: Forgot to mention, with this template, it seems to work fine for me. But once the session is over, QT fails to roll over to the...
