There is another issue besides "isolation". It turns out the human brain needs to hear wind and water to "reset" its patterns to "normal". Without it the brainwaves never reset and can "tilt". So maybe something as simple as walking around in nature AND turn on some good music while in the...

sounds like a multi level OCA order using , stops and limits based on offsets, but giving the number of parts, a conditional order would be pretty hard using a standard UI. API could do it easily. But the API is not " easy". It is not hard either if you can code. That being said, if one...

It also depends on what you are trading. Some are much more volatile. Also remember you can put on another trade later. That being said, don't squander the better trade setups with a rigid exit since there is a limited number in any day. You are trying to balance probability and profitability.

For you I would prototype in Excel first since you are more familiar, then see if this is indeed the work flow you want. Also Excel updates method might not be sufficient for what you want, or be too clumber-some. That being said, it does sound like a lot of what Py offers as a language, over...

Sort of but weekly is a long time. A lot can happen in a week, so I guess if you want to wait for a candle to close, it would be useable. Secondly, move the lines to actually cross the wicks, or well into the wicks. The wicks are sort of gray zones where the chances of being able to trade in...

I like the 34" 1440. I used to have multiple 27" UHD. I switched to the 34" but I would not go larger. The curve is not really useable for me after 34". I would rather turn to face another monitor. To me 34" is the limit. The reason I moved away from the multiple 27" was the hooking up of...

Um, Do you think the UI is the program? During my conversations with IB, it IS the difference between mosaic and classic that IS the problem. Trying to accommodate both is the issue. There are many obvious low level bugs that can be reproduced if the two are mixed. They know it and are...

You might be thinking of Bracket trader, which does do ratio of positions. Book trader is a module that is built into TWS.

I spent 7 years doing it solo. It helps to have one or two people you can really connect and can hang out with on-line or in person. One true friend is worth a bunch of "acquaintances" imo. I have friend now for 35 years and we talk stocks often.

:fistbump: I guess it does matter.....

Did you try the hot key for increasing-decreasing size? Also you could try to "pre-set" the amounts to different hot keys and use those to select your size.

Build 980 had this and it fixed some things in layout for me. It has been behaving about 80% better for me, not just the item listed below, but all layout. From build 980 release notes: "Previously the Price History tool allowed the user to rearrange columns but did not save the new...

The notion that TA "reductionism" is irrelevant. Sure one can show equivalency between indicators. Analogy is that all people are made of ratio of x pounds of chemicals and y water. It says nothing of the personalities nor the presentation of physical traits. The one thing it does tell...

When the price action dictates. Have a time frame in mind as a reference, but price action always rules.

It does. Go through the videos. Also Outside RTH is different in what orders work or where they sit (server) on the Simulator.

Hi Dave, I was looking at the same type of thing, as probably many have. So I narrowed down the scope and eliminated the "trader networking" aspect and just focused on the analysis. Turns out I was able to build an Excel framework based on trade data. Since it was "roll your own" I was able...

Lol, I not on the development team, but you give me 4 days with the bug database, the proposed feature with Dev estimates and I could tell you. Usually a good rule of thumb is Time to code x 2 or in the case of badly embedded legacy code x 3 to never. It really depends upon the code base, and...

Ah ATR, good one, a little of both, I would say. Which brings up the comment from wrbtrader. Dynamic versus Static is an arbitrary bifurcation. Sort of like weather: Sunny versus Rain. There is a continuum. Knowing the current trade setups' changing relative effectiveness in a dynamic...

Not "TWS out of the box" that I am aware of. IB-TWS tends to give you just the basic tools, partially integrated with other tools. I think they leave the more second level stuff, like you describe, to people using the API. In the API it would be straightforward. Of course you can always...
