Doesnt work IB only has a limited amount of symbols in their demo version and AEX stocks are not included. So if IB is his broker just pay the $5 if you cant miss the $5 a month than you shouldnt trade at all.

If you use IB as a broker you can get that data for only $5 a month (level1) works perfect with quotetracker (free). If you want really perfect free EOD charts for Dutch stocks (also USA, France etc.) just register at www.prorealtime.com. I am not affiliated with this company but I like their...

I will put them on my quote screen and will watch them myself. Thanks for your replies. Maurice

I thought about SSFs . Do you have any experience with them? And if so how are the spreads comparred to the underlying right now? I read some threads here on ET and there were a lot of complaints about the wide spreads but I must say these threads were written 2003 and most of the guys are...

My strategy is for the most part based on trading pullbacks in strong trending stocks in strong trending sectors for example metals & mining and energy on the long side for the past couple of months and for example retail stocks on the short side. I also like trading pullbacks of base breakouts...

I downloaded your calculator. Its very easy to to make it work with my own risk parameters. Maurice

I think you traded this way in the major bull market of the late 90s and/or the major bear market but with the current conditions and smaller moves I think the spreads in options are most of the time to big to make money on a 1,5 to 2,5 dollar move in the underlying but I will definitely look at it.

Ozzy do you trade this way? And how about the spreads in options?

But what do you do with all the set ups you miss because you focus on just that position assuming the stock doesnt hit your stop but also doesnt move really your way?

Say you have a small account of about $20000 that you want to trade with on a short to intermediate term basis (swing trading). My goal is to trade US stocks, no futures or forex. What is the best way to divide this amount so you can trade multiple positions at a time? because putting all the...

Thanks!

Spyder how do you determine the size of your positions in a stock or do you trade every stock with for example 1000 shares? And how many weight do you give every trade as a percentage of your total equity for example; you have a total equity of $100000 and you use 10% on a single trade so you...

As a former option market maker it would be nice to have a better way to analyze my option positions. For example: * The profit/loss of my position for a certain price range for example the actual value of the stock is 50 then I want to have the possibility to see the profit/loss and the...

Thanks guys!

Oke so if I understand you correctly the settings arent saved on their server ( except for the orders you put in i think) and you have to change the settings on every computer you work on?

I am a new user of IB TWS for a couple of days now and I am very satisfied with it. I use the browser based version. But what I dont understand is that when I login at a different computer that none of my settings are saved even tough I always save the settings when I exit the TWS. Isnt it...

Hi everybody, I am looking for a website where I can find dividend dates and forecasts of American stocks for free. I hope that somebody can help me with this information. Thaks in advance. Maurice

Thanks coach!

Hi coach, I really like this thread and I am curious with how many contracts you advise us to start this strategy if you know what you are doing off course. In other words is this strategy worth the effort to do it with 1-3 contracts if your broker is IB? Best regards, Maurice

I am also using the demo and I have a question about the charts; in the "real" version do the charts also start collecting data for the charts once you open them as in the demo version or is there already a history of data so a chart is ready for use once you open one because whats the use...
