New to IB and just getting to know the TWS software. Does anyone know if there is someway to set the software so that it remembers that it's okay for you to trade after-hours and during the pre-market too? I have the Good After Time box checked in the layout but it doesn't seem to matter. It...

Thanks for the link. Did eveyone check this out? They were down 10.10% for the year so far on their calls, which of course translates to a 30.3% annualized loss. Doesn't this speak volumes in itself about the realities involved here? I agree with the thoughts below from TGregg. Seems like a lot...

Ninjatrader software has been spoken of very highly here and other places by many. Haven't used it myself but was checking out the website yesterday. http://ninjatrader.com/ Good luck. :)

Solid core hardwood doors make great desk tops, although a bit heavy to move around if that's an issue. You can finish them anyway you like to look really nice, and they have plenty of room for monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc. Then you can easily build supports to place under them or get...

Keep learnng. :) There's no such thing as a "sure trade" in the real world. That only exists in your mind. :) But we get your point and are glad you've done better. And patience is very, very important. But don't fool yourself by thinking you know for sure <B><U>ever</U></B> what's going to...

Is that the GTT guy who threatened to sue me for posting I didn't like the "service" they provided me?

Hi, Grob109 I'll try again here. You quoted my thoughts below but didn't actually leave a response. Thanks. :)

LMAO :D :D :D :D :D A great post to end the day on. See you all tomorrow, unless you see me first. :D

There are some really good interviews in this one too - Mark Cook, Steve Cohen, Ari Kiev, etc. Almost everyone seems to pan this one and say it's not nearly as good as the first two. I respectfully disagree. Just fished it out of my storage unit yesterday to reread. :)

There you have it. :D Thanks for sharing that. :) I was looking at/snooping on :) your trading journal (hope that's okay) http://www.freewebs.com/mytradingjournal/ and found it very interesting and it gives a more detailed version of your style. I noticed, as you mentioned, you do a lot of...

I was thinking more about your post here last night and wondered if you're saying you yourself built a position of 100,000 shares @ 11 average and sold them @ 28 average? Unless my math's screwed up this would mean you acquired a $1.1 million dollar position and then made $1.7 million dollars on...

This sounds like a good idea to me too. I thought about these very same issues and solutions the last few days. I like eSignal's advanced charts myself and in fact reactivated my account Friday for mainly this reason. Some of the charting people, Ensign, eSignal, QT, Genesis, etc. have charts...

Glad you feel "this thread is actually one of the more intelligent conversations". I agree, but don't agree with "that aint saying much... " . This thread would be even better and more complete if we could get this trader himself to speak up and explain why he does it his way. <BR>I find a...

Thanks for the info. I'm new at IB too and wanted to fool around with the software too and had the same problems today. :)

Ameritrade's streamer is free for a while if you open an account even if it's not funded yet. Then they charge you I guess, as mentioned. Datek used to be free period. Good luck.:)

IBsoft and def, FWIW, just wanted to mention I'm new to IB but do greatly appreciate what I see so far. I'm sure you all work hard on improving the software and maintaining and improving the quality of the executions, which, with a few occasional exceptions - which all brokers have- seem to be...

They don't seem to be available in the browser based version. which is what I have to work with this week. I'm just getting set up for a late start for the day. Thanks for your help. :)

Absolutely! This is the way it is. IBsoft, it seems that maybe you're not a professional trader, just a guess. A professonional trader wouldn't say, "1) Could you please explain the difference between the candlestick and bar charts; don't they both show the same thing?". And certainly nothing...

Thanks for the link :D

Thanks, Farside! :D
