You should check into Interactive Brokers API or PATS API so you can integrate your own trading interface. IB's is fairly easy, at least with the ActiveX API. or you can use Java or C++ I believe. Regarding this moving average idea, I think you should abandon it immediately but thats just my...

I wish you a lot of luck in the endeavor. It sounds like you're going to need it.

Basically you want to be concerned with the Brokers clearing firm FCM because this is where your money is and whose servers PATS is usually on. The Introducing broker is for customer service. Efloortrade seems to be perfectly fine and maybe even better than most IB's because of the added...

Nice Job following your plan. Congratulations.. Concerning the plan however. I don't understand Buy#2 on the chart. Did you realize that the S&P was being pegged up to yesterdays close(948 area) and the Dow Jones at yesterdays high(8950 area). After both had just bounced up at 11am...

The only way I know of is to chart them as an indicator in Tradestation.

This is getting too weird for me. sorry. ------- maybe enter on stops and let the market get you in. Trueth is that you probably have to burn through that 10k or maybe a couple 10k stakes to make it. At least for me thats the experience. I hope you make it through. Maybe you can try one...

On your chart you wrote "missed entries are killing me". Are these actual signals that you got but didn't execute. Or is this after the fact concluding that it would have been a good entry? Because you can't be aware of everything going on all the time. Anything could basically be...

I ran across this: http://www.proedgeonline.com/demo-jtrainer.asp Supposedly live ES and NQ demo with JTrader. I don't know anything else about it.

This is a day that most daytraders love because of volatility. If you are a swing trader trying to call tops and bottoms that seems to be a losing game. I mean late last month was the first buying opportunity since last october for the big money long term guys(Vix hit 56, sentiment, etc.)...

when you finally cave in and buy.

well, with tradestation you can code almost anything you want. Trade prospector does seem to have most of what you want, not totally sure though about automatic trendlines and the like. It only works with Quote.com data feed.

For me, Trade Prospector is second only to Tradestation2000 in terms of trading utility. I haven't used any trading software that even comes close to these two and as a result these are all I use.

I think its too hard to catch the main trend move of the day(or a good portion of it) with very tight stops. There is simply too much gyration and noise in the market, although last week did have less of this noise. You end up churning and burning which might have a negative pyschological...

Here is a clarification for anybody using my E-Mini Trade Management program. *It's alright to go ahead and exit the trade through TWS. This will not affect anything in the program. The "exit price" caption just will just be blank instead of showing your exit price. *Breakeven will send...

By the way Peanut, my program is fully functional as well. I just have left out some custom features to suite my personal trading style and needs. If you want to compete then bring it on brother. Just joking:) but I'm not a programmer at all. This is the first program I've ever written...

Hi Richard, Currently the AutoStop is an emulated stop order. you can change its value anytime while in the trade. However, this will Trail the current price, it is not a fixed stop. The Autotarget is also an emulated limit order for your target. If you want a limit sent to TWS then maybe...

To my knowledge this is not possible with the API in its current form.

All I can say is maybe to your request. Hey, if you want to pay me $150, go right ahead:)

For those who might be interested I've updated and added 3 more features to the program. 1. BUY AT BID 2. SELL AT OFFER 3. BREAKEVEN STOP all of these orders are sent to IB TWS. see the text file for explanation. the update is at: http://www.pricepatterns.com/ib/

Regarding Qcharts dow mini quotes, the $30 is for all CBOT contracts. I get this for the T-Bonds. I only traded YM once this week and spreads varied from 2 points to 15 points. I agree that they are currently suited for intraday swing trades. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing...
