Nite, You need to rebuild. Sure you can get the older java working with the stable TWS build. (Uninstall TWS-JTS, delete all, maybe delete the keys in the Reg-edit, reboot and reinstall). But you should move to Win 10 and install the stable TWS and Java will come complete with it (and...

Yes, like today, I ran 50% wins and did 1/2 goal. Was underwater twice "just" bad. Actually day before too. Each system has different "responses" to the market action.

Someone mentioned TN as being smoother. I tried it for 6 months. It seemed to be but I could not wake up for the 5:30 PT opening. FWIW, maybe your time zone works better.

Triples are not as frequent on an index. Also the way this last leg occurred is not as "normal" (e.g. three gaps instead of a steady run up) and screams possible one-off. Of course the election "week" is in play. I am going sidelines at this short term juncture for swing trades on the...

"For years" and yet you cannot figure out how to use the UI.:rolleyes: " and that is a fact" as you post often to bolster an invalid* (mostly non sequitur) line of reasoning. I guess you can blame something or someone, thereby trying an "ad baculum" (the big stick or else) or "ad verecundiam"...

Probably a good idea. Not trying to be a troll. But Futures can be VERY tough. I did 6-7 years live (before sim worked any good), and broke even after commissions. That was moving about 150-250 mil notional per year. Now I am back at it, two years and counting (some live some paper) and...

I did 70 points in 50 trades. Largest win was 2.5 points, largest loss 0.5 points. 14 scratch 36 wins. started about 530 pm PT ended at about midnight. All and all an very good night. Like I said, too bad only every 4 years. Pandemic aside, there seems to always be "something" to worry...

Make hay while the sun is shining! While the 12 year bull market was pretty easy, this volatility is just as good or better, imo.

Well trading has been excellent Too bad this only happens every 4 years! Seems like relief it went reasonably smoothly. How is everyone one doing?

Pretty smooth too on ES. Did 5 daily goals this evening. ES Starting to give back now.

Yogi Berra applies here about theory and practice. This is like asking if everyone jumped up and landed at the same time would there be a tremendous earthquake?

yeah now the real issue is do we fold-crumble, stay inside or breakout. Certainly a tough swing trade even good tactics make it hard to make a directional trade.

OK I admit it. I am done trading today. Tomorrow will be another day to trade. Some big swings today. Hope you all did OK.

Ok now for the Gap fill "attempt" on ES. I would say this qualifies as gap fill attempt on NQ.:) 1:15 to go. Lot so trades today!:thumbsup::fistbump:

It is not a free for all. There are levels of compliance. There are levels of liquidity. Part of learning to trade is knowing this and knowing enough, so that neither are an issue in your trades. Just undo it and get on the right side. As far as compensation, you are the second person who...

No position here for me. Just arm-chair and seeing what people thought. It was not posted as an actionable item. My time frame is below the daily but it helps me to understand the daily context, always. So far an inside day for the most part with a test early AM. Lots of movement and a lot...

I am thinking gap fill.

It was after the close. A lot of reconciliation occurs. or, How about a sweep to fill MOC order, that finishes off something from earlier. I wonder who the parties are. 312K shares!
