Pretty big time frame! This is a better prediction: "I predict the market will go up, down, and sideways in the next one to two months."

Hobby is correct. That not connecting to a web site is a good clue. Not a TWS issue. I would look at all the network hardware and settings. Try using wireless. That will drive a wedge between the network hardware on your machine. If no difference, then move onto your router. There are...

Here are something to check: Which server at IB you are connecting to? Does this happen with paper, which is a different server. Which connections are lost? Farm? Data? All? You are hard wired right? Try another machine to rule out your network adapter hardware. Or try the wireless if you...

Also probably depends on who is processing your order. It is pretty conceivable you would get filled at 12, then the counter party sells at 20 nano-seconds later.

What happens to the drawdown and P/L if you are "inconsistent"? It is pretty easy to do the "many small wins, large loss" wipeout dance. What would make you "inconsistent"? Change of markets? Personal sustainability? Those are the questions that I would be asking. There is consistency in...

Of course this is a loaded question in that the concept of "right" is ill-defined in general, not just trading. But still a good thread. I can add this. Anyone else trade the 3 days before 9/11. It seemed to me the market players knew something was up. The volume dropped off so much I...

Thanks everyone for the replies. As for the comments about plan, LF, yes got that covered. Actually it was the seminal portion of the work. It is well integrated for scaling, which is central to the effort. SML, I had Expectancy, Average Risk, Average Reward and I understand them...

ES Down 55 from about 9:50 Pacific time. That puts it a the top of the gap. Seems to be stabilizing. We shall see. He isn't incapacitated or super sick or anything and he does have a lot of medical care .... It is a prerequisite to getting very sick though, catching it. Volume is pretty...

Hi All, I am reviewing my "journal" which tracks my daily trades (day trading). Currently tracked are: Number of Trades, Wins, Losses, Scratches Largest Win, Largest Loss Average Win, Average Loss Percent of Win, Loss, Scratch, to total High and Low water mark Gain versus Goal And a bunch...

Ever wonder about your car? I have a Honda civic hybrid that has a bug. Under 35MPH, it will occasionally shut down the power steering. Restarting resets it. At one point the windshield wipers were haywire too, stopping mid windshield. Not sure if the two are related, but they were...

Old connections and alumni. This is interesting about code complexity. But as the article says, consider the source, a source management company. I remember the only software we every shipped that was actually 100% bug free was done by one person, an architect Dev and tested by me the...

I would opine, we bounced on the 100 MA, gaped, reversed hard, and are looking to test the 200MA. But external influences can "change things". Without them, 200 ma test seems inevitable. Also seems actionable too BTW, but "things change"

Now is that Fantasy Island the movie remake, or the 70 series, or a little of both? Thanks for the comment, it gave me a laugh. Some guy gave me a slap down here when I was just trying to help the OP. Just trying to give some insight into an issue based on a decade+ of experience in test...

I think it is more than swapping Long-Short. It is about the lead up to it that needs to swap. I would look at the comfort level issue someone mentioned above. Comfortable trades for beginners often look a lot like a "discount" on a trend when they are really a counter trend happening or...

Interesting note on side projects, it seems that doing it well has boiled down to the same key meta factors for successful trading are the same in the projects. So trading has become just another thing I do in the same ways: study, learn, apply, evaluate, measure, improve, repeat. Of course...

I still run a local version of Office with no one drive storage, even though I get 365 for free. But how many more times will this sort of thing happen? Seems like they HAVE to get it bullet proof, although it seems at least once a month some major system is going down from some player. The...

Does anyone else sense as the market switched from "always up, buy the dip" to something more volatile or "normal-difficulty", it seems the forum has become more combative with people feeling they need to be "right" or venting frustration. I wonder what the next steps are as the fantasy fades...

Oh my I have been put in my place! :rolleyes: I am out.
