I've posted the same question on another forum in Italy and the final advice was exactly the same: "talk to tax advisor / accountant". Here's what I'll do. I'll wait till I make a few thousands, and spread them over different accounts, so that I definitely do not get reported. Then, once it...

Thank you. This concisely clarifies the nature of my problem. I am not running a business yet. I am "unlicensed". So I agree that I need a contract. And for that I have to ask the question in Italy, where I live. Probably I have to ask a business/tax attorney as advised in the previous post.

Suppose I had to receive wire payments for renting my trading systems: how do I avoid suspicious transaction reports (within the EU)? What type of contract would I need? What kind of payments would you recommend? I have bank accounts in various countries of Europe and in the US. How do you do...

I am looking for GBL intraday data: 15 minute timeframe, ascii file (for tradestation 2000i). I am willing to give other data in return (currencies futures, commodities futures, etc.). It's been very hard to find GBL data vendors, especially at prices lower than 1000 dollars.

Thank you for your message.

Thank you for replying. I will hope the same as well.

Did you solve it? Can you please tell me how?

Thanks to both.

Oh, thanks. Let's see... We're talking about 100 lines per day. That's 24 thousand per year. I guess it could even be done in excel. But is that really the only way? Has anyone ever heard of a code / Global Server or other solution?

I have this problem. I am trying to build a system on daily pivot levels (PP, S1, R1). I downloaded the data from IB TWS for the EUR IDEALPRO symbol. The data is in Central Standard Time and the session ends at 16.00. I don't know why. It seems that the forex session ends when the CME...

The first step is choose a broker that allows automation and has good commissions and is widely used. I would start by opening an account with Interactive Brokers. Also, it's impossible to substitute your job with income from trading right away. It's not going to happen overnight, so it would...

Wait... if I access it from here, the excel workbook works fine! http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/twsDisclaimer.php?ib_entity=llc&twsdemo=1 Ok, now it works on my workbook as well (not the twsdde.xls, which I used earlier) and it works even if I start the TWS application from...

Has IB Demo data stopped working for TWS API? In the weekends, the edemo account is the only one available so I can't use the paper trading account for testing and debugging my excel automated systems. It used to work with excel if I used "edemo" instead of my user account, but now it...

Small change in the first macro, because I decided that, should I not have enough price prints to get a good moving average (e.g.: I want the average of the last 3 hours, but I only have price prints for the last 2 hours), I want the average to be equally affected by all the prices I do have...

Yeah, I understand what you are saying, but that's not the case. I kept "myroutine" because it was the name my friend had given it 5 years ago, and I am sure you would agree that it's not ideal to keep on changing subroutine names all the time (other modules referring to it might not find the...

Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed feedback, even though I might prove unworthy of your help. Also, I must mention that I noticed you didn't entirely read my post and it slightly bothered me. I can understand your advice about the subroutine name, and I've changed the name from...

Ok, done. I've copied the whole thing on the paper trading excel workbook, and tomorrow I'll see if it all works out perfectly. Here's the final code for 9 moving averages. To explain it out loud to myself, here's what happens. Private Declare Function... It uses a function unknown to...

It works! Yes!!! I figured it out, little stupid me... Here it is, simplified as much as I could: Private Declare Function SetTimer Lib "User32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nIDEvent As Long, ByVal uElapse As Long, ByVal lpTimerFunc As Long) As Long Sub time_ma() For i = 1 To...

Thanks to dtrader98 and to dwpeters, for the thoughtful advice and feedback. To bellman and to them I say this. I will now spend a few hours until I figure it all out, and then come back and post an explanation of what my macros do, and which ones I can get rid of and simplify. So far this...

Thanks for the information, but this is not what I wanted to do. I didn't get to this point, to just quit using my excel sheet and start something totally new.
