To get this thread back on track, to MB, The follow on question is how does this work on NQ, or more specifically have you isolated the factors that would need to change for NQ vs ES such that alternating between the two (ES-NQ) would only require these system variables. The obvious first place...

Actually at IB, there is a thirds option, the Paper Account. But one needs to understand the mechanics of the fills with the different systems. IB Paper is "top of book" fill on the add liquidity side. Which means you jump to the front of the order book que. In real markets there are people...

Hi Cadig, Sounds like you are moving from system development to implementing tactics. So now you will have trade data that, that can provide feedback to the the system, AND will be optimizable at the trade level This thread will be interesting for you to read. Scalping and Analysing your...

Create a serious system that measures the trading system. Most people do not create a way to measure AND THEN optimize their trading. A good "measurement harness" system is like a Meta-trading system. It should be able to take all your trade data and measure their combined and cumulative...

Had a bunch of small wins and losses for a satisfactory gains, solid traction. Had one blowout winner. MCRB at 2.80 entry for triple allocation, and friends and family for about 20K shares with a 3.5 entry. One account was for their entire IRA with an 8K balance. Still have not told him...

Not really legal, but if you are misrepresenting, the compliance department would be justified freezing your account and closing it. Maybe leave it in limbo for a week or five before that too. Given you don't have extra money to have frozen, open up an account somewhere else, imo.

All of them (Dow, SP, Nas, Russ), and then manage them according to how they go. Essentially 4 positions and you can take profits as it happens to manage risk. If the trade is good, it will be good on all. Usually there is rotation, etc. so the timing (measured in hours- maybe days) will be...

MSI Stealth 15M A11SDK-063 144Hz nVidia GTX 1660Ti GPU 6GB GDDR6, 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185G7 (gentechpc.com) Newest MSI release. MSI makes a great build, more business class, and it is reasonable weight (3.7 pounds) for taking to class. Thin and powerful. Does everything you would want...

I think Bloomberg said it was Fitbit. Then if you are on the other side, then you got to get your money out which should not be to hard, given how slow this train wreck occurred.

The losses were in FITBIT Options. How would the hackers benefit from that MORE than transferring out the dollars directly? Seems like the person lost, and was claiming it was stolen. Would that be wire fraud?

Hi Dines, Truth there there is not that much out there, in the retail world, about trade execution-mechanics that provides ready made actionable information. As you have probably seen there is a lot of TA stuff out there and some vague stuff about risk management and ditto for psychology...

It is work. I forgot to save my hotkeys last time, but remembered all the other stuff! That is why it is cool to use a new drive, in case you forgot to save some random setting.

Yes, it is not a big deal. You can start with TWS reinstall first, but by the time you do it, and fiddle with it for an hour or two.... Probably get reasonable improvement. But a fresh install is always a good idea on a production machine. I do mine every 12 months at a minimum. Keeps me...

The difference in what Tradex and I are saying is describable as a different paradigms on how to manage trades. To me it is like throwing a piece of meat on the grill. You are committed now, so make the most of it. There is a big difference in a trade that: Case 1) hits T1 and T2 right away...

You have to be smarter than a bot, which is not to hard presently because they are not always active-trading and when they trade, leave big foot prints often with size. Design a bot and you can get some ideas. But it has always been a matter of staying ahead of the crowd, bots or otherwise.

This is a static approach. It is static in that you are entering based on the current conditions (good), but you are setting the stops and targets at that time too. As the trade progresses, new information is there, but yet your targets and stops are set on old data at the entry time...

Do a clean install of Windows and do a rebuild of your TWS XML file. The XML file is the :config: for your TWS setup. Start with the minimum of charts. Then you have a baseline. The XML file get bigger and bogged down after it changes a lot. My xml file was 7kb and reduced it to 3.5 kb and...

Few Notes: It would be helpful to see the actual losses and not an average. What is your largest loss? The mode? Isn't the TQQQ smallest tick size .01? Why are the win amounts not in those increments? TQQQ is supposed to be 3x NQ during the day. Does that edge (extra volatility) impact your...

Why? If you look back over the ES-SPX this happens often like this. Of course there are as many times where it looks like it will, but does not. Watch it long enough and you will see the differences. The real question you are asking is "what is and when is there actionable information?"...
