Attached is my results sheet to date. First winning day today, whew. Still some entry errors, tho...twice I set the exit .50 too far. I'm stunned that at least one of them didn't fall just short of that mark and double-whammy on me. As for stops...it seems like every time my stop is...

I'm looking at the sterling-r04 feed on Qcharts. Going long at 874.50 at 9:43, stopped out at 9:50. The stop on the reverse was at 874.50, which was the exact high during 9:54 - 9:55. Then it proceeded to tank, of course. I've been wondering if perhaps I should do the stops...

Heh. Jeez! I don't seem to get any of the breaks! Not that any of the entries matters much, but it would be nice to mess up and have it result in something other than a double loss. Also, this morning the 9:33 NQ didn't conclude very quickly again...the next one I got in was the 9:43...

I'm up slightly...tho I caught a double-loser on 9:43. I entered at 874.5, which then allowed my stop on the reverse to get hit..at the high for that timeframe, of course. Argh. Quah, on your 10:04, you have an entry of 866.00...I've used every different feed QCharts sends, they all say...

Started off doing the NQs. Turns out they moved just as slowly in the morning as the afternoon...the 9:33 didn't conclude until just before the 9:51. (I had decided earlier that if a trade was on while another came up, to ignore it and just see the first one to conclusion). Only one...

I thought it would be simple to keep track of also...and I've used IB for 2years now. So far the only reason I'm in the red is because of my various errors...I've thrown in the towel, and am going to use an auto-entry program. zorak

Had another lousy day, my own fault. Attached is a results spreadsheet. Started on the ES, happy that I had remembered to set the #contracts to 2, allowing me to SAR with one line. Promptly read the stoch backwards on 9:33, resulting in a b/e that Quah had as a win. Celebrated...

I've done searches, and looked on the cme site, but I can't decipher what I'm looking at. What is the daily volume, during regular trading hous, of ES and NQ? If anyone has an answer, or a link to an explanation for the figures on the cme report, I'd much appreciate it. zorak

I attached today's spreadsheet. As you can see, heh, I had some problems. The first 2 lulled me into a false sense of my abilities with IB (I didn't realize until later that I put my exit on 9:35 in the wrong place...turned out good, but it is a tad depressing). The 9:43, 9:51, and...

Thanks! Yep, that changed one of them. Still, its pretty bizzare that it made such a huge difference two separate times. Thanks again! zorak

Thanks for the help. I'm not that familiar with QCharts...how can I change server? Or, is it even possible? zorak

I've been trading the ES today, and my results differ from some of yours. For the 9:43 Trade, you have: 845.50 Long 844.25 Stopped out, reversed 843.00 New exit for the short 843.00 Covered for b/e I have: 845.25 Long 844.00 Stopped out, reversed 842.75 New exit for the...

Thanks, Quah! One more question for you...I'm only going to be starting by trading one of ES/NQ. I'm leaning towards starting with ES...if you had to pick one, which would you recommend starting with? zorak

Quah...I'm ready to start this tomorrow, but am confused about something. I've attached a screenshot of the Qcharts setup I'm using. On the top is a 1min with a 34,2,34 stoch. On the bottom is a 2min with 17,1,17 stoch. In comparing the upper stoch with the one you posted earlier...

Very interesting thread. I know nothing about futures, NQ, ES, and it all looks like greek to me, so I was wondering if someone might take pity and answer a few questions that I'm sure are insultingly basic. I've searched in all the places I can think of, but my experience is that the hardest...

I'd like to be able to specify DAY or GTC in basket orders.

1) Basket Orders. According to the user's guide, you can create a basket file either by using the TWS ("automatically"), or by simply using a text editor and writing out each line ("manually"). When I attempt to use a manually-created basket file, TWS prompts me for the "program trading...

Yep, I've had the same problem for a couple weeks now. Very annoying. zorak
