Esignal is definitely lagging behind IB at times. I have noticed this for the last couple of months. Before they were rock solid for me. How do I know Esignal was lagging IB, because IB is showing a higher price by 3 - 4 ticks and Esignal's chart data hasn't even gotten that high yet. I am...

Well said Paul, the only limitations we have are all self imposed. "Can't never could, could he" When are you going to start a journal? That's the question we should be asking ourselves, "What limiting beliefs are holding me back?" Thanks for the food for thought. regards, '...

Hi Ditch, Is it possible to get the Ensign template for your channel system? tonkadad@yahoo.com regards, Bruce Hawkins

I think we can all agree that the potential income from trading is virtually limitless. I have gone from losing money every month (for about the last year of serious trading) to the beginning of this year of paying for my monthly trading expenses and having a little bit left over. Once I...

Thanks, Puffy regards, Bruce Hawkins

"Ditch making money is not hard but $ in this business is 20k to 100k a month if you are not making range you are not making $ for this industry.10k a month is not bad but $= 20k-100k per month Trading!" I could live off of 20k to 100k a month although it would be tight. I will let you know...

"LOL. Buddy, if you want to make this type of hard*** statement then you'd better put up or shut up: This is a case where IMHO, nobody should bother talking to you unless you verify all of the money YOU made with whatever "big idea" you are blathering about ..... Lets see the performance of this...

Illiquid, Alot of people use Bracket Trader (I am biased I have been using it for 9 months) there is also AutoTrader and a couple of others. IB has a discussion board, post any questions you have regarding any 3rd party add on's to TWS under the topic "TWSAPI"...

Hi Corvus, Are you talking about the desktop link to TWS? I downloaded and installed the latest JRE from Sun last night. When I clicked properties (Tws desktop link) I noticed mine was still pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\ so I changed it to the latest 1.4.1_02. I guess...

Anybody using MB for trading futures? How are they? Thanks for your response. regards, Bruce Hawkins

Hi Nihaba, I totally agree with what you are saying. In the beginning of my trading career I had a real time news feed (or at least what I thought was real time). Even with keyword filters I spent the majority of the time watching and waiting for that "big news event" and the only thing...

"Why are you guys trying to explain what happened? There is no point in trying to explain all the market moves nor do I see any point in trying to predict market moves with targets etc especially intraday." I agree with Kicking, the less I think about why the market is doing what it doing...

I agree, I would have preferred to know the order was not at the exchange. Are you a IB user FX-Trader? I am wondering if it is an issue with the latest TWS release? I did a STPLMT test order and when I went to cancel, my favorite color came up again Magenta, I also noticed I lost the...

FX-Trader, I am not sure what you mean when you say there is no cancel pending. This is from IB's website: MAGENTA indicates that you have sent a request to cancel the order but have not yet received cancel confirmation from the order destination. At this point, your order is not confirmed...

Simtrader, Let me try to respond to some of your posting. I have been using IB and Bracket Trader (a VB program that allows one click order entry with a STPLMT and a LMT order that are sent immediately after initial order is filled, we are talking 2 - 3 seconds after fill confirmation)...

First of all thanks for getting the ball rolling. Second I hate to reveal my ignorance so early into this but I don't follow what I need to run your files (which program). Project1.vbp Project1.vbw JabaActiveXTWS.frm I have been able to get Excel to enter orders, place stops and...

Jaba, Can you point me in the right direction regarding how I would go about making my own VB app. to replace Excel. I really enjoyed playing around with Excel trying to get it to do what I wanted but it seems rather finicky. Being a neophite regarding VB what is the actual program I...

Hi Jaba, Have you been able to get trailing stops to function properly using ActiveX? I keep getting debug errors. I assume I want the Statement to become True right after I am filled with initial order, also being a MOD order Excel does the trailing calculation on the spreadsheet and...
