xbond I am not 100% sure but I think that Medved’s QuoteTracker uses Island’s only T&S. Software is free – so try it out.

I am glad that the new style charts have been designed to be additional tool rather than existing charts replacement. As it stands you can play with them, admire the potential of them, be impressed with the ease of switching between various time frames… but you can’t use them. To be...

It’s ok, tuna. I have a lot of confidence in IB – I believe that they are on top of this – solution will be found. Patience, my friend, patience. Everything will be alright…you a becoming relaxed now…feeling sleepy…very sleepy… :D

Splat, avoid UK market. Quotes are bad, commissions are bad, software (browser based) is bad. Get account with IB. Do not quit your job – trade after work. You will be surprised how much time it takes to understand even the most fundamental daytrading setups. You will be shocked how...

I can hardly wait to lay my clammy hands on those. I was desperately unhappy with the present ones. But, now… “top of the world. Ma!”. BTW I agree with tuna regarding the symbols limit – pain in the a$$.

That’s excellent news for all of us, but specially for ddefina and his style of trading. Well done IB (and def). :)

I like to see your posts, uptik, so keep them coming. I visited #daytraders the other day and noticed nick like yours – was that you? Anyway you are doing great! And thanks for the charts – it is always helpful to see somebody else’s way of thinking (other than my own). :cool:

As a software developer I am vary familiar with that particular terminology. As a matter of fact most of the bugs are come across are my own. Oh, bugger. :p

1. Study fundamentals for the stock you are trading 2. Execute a daytrade in direction of your stock fundamentals 3. Daytrade fails 4. Let your daytrade become swingtrade 5. Swingtrade fails 6. Let your swingtrade become investment If all fails, blame yourself for taking my stupid...

Glad to have you on this board. :)

Thanks guys! tuna Thank you for the link. I also found on that site this little pearl : 1. Proposed Definition of ‘‘Day Trading’’ Proposed NYSE Rule 431(f)(8)(B)generally would redefine ‘‘day trading’’ as ‘‘purchasing and selling or selling and purchasing the same...

My guess is that TWS software can’t handle the fact that there is no separate ‘Cover’ short sale function. Software guys are probably confused by dual-purpose ‘Buy’ function - used to cover short sale and to initiate a long trade. The programming solution to this problem is very...

I thing that Anonymouse is insult to TradeRX. Being an idiot is far worse than being obnoxious. Or is it? :)

I have no comment on SEC rules, but… I just don’t see any reason why the short swingtrades are treated differently by TWS from the long swingtrades. I was hoping to open a trade one day and close it the next day and thus come as close to ‘real’ trading as permissible under the...

Opening a position (long or short) one day and closing that position the following day is a swingtrade and not a daytrade. Opening a new swingtrade should be not linked to closing yesterday’s swingtrade and counted as a round trip. :( TWS programmers should be able to look at the open...

IB accounts under 25k I thought you might be interested in this correspondence. I sent this e-mail to IB’s management: Dear Sirs I have under 25k margin account. I would like to swing trade in the following fashion: Cover yesterday's short sale (buy) Enter a new short...

Hi Tuna I have margin account (under 25k) with IB. I was trying to swingtrade and Short Sell (open trade) one day and… Cover (close trade) the next day and then another Short Sell (to open a new position). Bacause there is no Cover transaction with IB, only Buy (used for cover...

"Dunno, but I applied for a free trial in Chartwiz's room way back in December but didn't get it yet. Wonder why. " ROFL I am placing you on my 'favorites' list, dufferdon. :)

This is becoming quite a crusade, Don, isn’t it? Please don’t continue in this or any other thread with your negativity – it is beginning to reflect badly on yourself and what you stand for – I normally enjoy your posts. I enjoy all the posts no matter how daft they are but at some...

Same thing, isn't it? My frozen equity curve confirms I was right.:D
