    Sterling API Developer Thread

    Update: RecordIDs didn't make a difference. I sort of figured out what the problem was. My stops weren't getting canceled when I exited orders for profit less than about 3 seconds after entry (happens to about 50% of those fast trades). I'm guessing it takes time for the server to do...

    canadians: what do you do with your USD pay?

    Curious what you fellow prop traders who get paid in USD do with your pay? Keep it in a USD account or do you regularly transfer over to CDN when the time is right? If you transfer, where/how do you do it? (I ask prop traders cause you retail guys probably reinvest/hold it)

    Just show me one intraday mechanical trading system that is profitable

    Oddly enough, it works best during meltdowns. Its best period in the backtests were during the tech meltdown. And it had it best months live during the credit crunch (beginning july 07) in terms of cents per share. I just got lucky when I discovered it. It was actually a small coding error in a...

    Sterling API Developer Thread
