OK thanks for your advices, I think I know what I'll do if i'm still short tonight.. Dogfish, I don't know exactly how the uncrossing algorithm works but I think that the big bid just below limit will get all below offers at the day session open. Am i right?

Hello, I'm having trouble this morning trading WZ07... I've shorted at 805 4/8 one tick below what I think is a trading limit at 805 6/8. I have joined the bid at 805 4/8 trying to offset, but the bid is currently 180 lots and I don't think I will be able to offset 'til the overnight session...

Pros : - the automation is reliable. I let the platform run on its own during daytime. Whenever I have issues, it's always due to my internet connection or the order network( not the automation ), but my trading is not really fast. - Fast learning curve for programming and fast...

OK That's what happened yesterday...TS...TS...

If i remember your previous posts, you said you traded something like 3 e mini lots on a 1500$ account... That's not a way to keep money. What you have to do with such a little account is to papertrade 'til you have a real rewarding method, and then trade mini 1$ forex lot... Seriously you...

Limit orders + no slippage = almost no fills( depending on the importance of levels in the book )= totally different results stop order + very liquid instrument + no slippage = fine

This reminds me of the average discussion I have with my relatives. Example: Dad: " In my (... Bank ), they are really, really good. With my ( ... Investment product), I'm hedged with futures and options( Wow )... they 're so good. I gained almost 10 % this year. And you, you've lost this...

Slippage? Limit orders? Instruments?

I've just sold x amount of EUR( with base currency USD ) on ideal, and now it is showing - x on my cash EUR value. Did I make an error?

8-12 pips + 2$ = 6$ at each ER2 trade ( 4000 $ margin ). Converting my account in USD right now. No EUR based account finally. :mad:

In fact, were you talking about 8:21 CT or ET??? I thought you just had the problem when you posted it. At 8:21 ET, price actually got to the level you said. If it's the case, you just bought in the middle of a spike when there usually are no asks around, inducing a tremendous amount of...

Definitely investigate further and ask for adjustment. Never had such experience.

I think I don't have your trade on my T§S . Just a couple 3.4265 at bid. Is that the price you got??

What the hell???170 ticks??? Are you sure you weren't on another month or some kind of error? Did your trade appear on the T§S?

Diversification permits primarily to smooth your equity curve. Speaking of automated systems, I've never found a harder thing than getting out of the undercapitalized zone, because you have to choose one system to rely on, live the DDs... with nothing else to balance your P§L. Automated...

Hello, I've recently created an euro based account at IB and I would like to know how cash currency conversions are calculated. I mainly trade US futures although I will soon trade euro futures. Do I pay the EURUSD B/A spread on each conversion? which spread? how many ticks? How is it...

I was talking about this link :http://www.cme.com/html.wrap/wrappedpages/clearing/pbrates/PBISInterEQ.htm?h=2 I found it to be quite different from the ratios I came up with( it was based on average true range rather than contract value ), but who wants to pay full margin for a spread...

Are you talking about the number of futures traded on each leg?? Just take the ratio defined to get SPAN intercommodity Margins( ES-ER2 = 1/1, ES / NQ= 1/2 ... ). They are all listed on the CME website "performance bonds" link.

No, I haven't ever done that for anything. I got my 2 lots filled seconds after the other 10 lots fill and didn't lose anything on it I just wanted to clarify the limit order priority on NYBOT since I am a new trader on it... Thanks

I discovered the P§L thread early this year, it has really eye-opening and inspiring... If there is one thread to follow on the internet, it must be this one. Before watching it, i didn't knew that it was possible to have a 3 month homerun with no losing day like Szeven is making. More than...
