I was reading through their examples and I don't understand why Every Trading System needs a loop? I'm a C/C++ programmer so it's not the language I don't understand. What is the loop for? Can't you say to just use the 15 SMA for the current bar? Also, is Bar variable integer the current...

I have a question: So you trade at the open of the fib bar depending on your indicator. Do you buy at the ask and sell at the bid? Or do you try to buy at the bid and sell at the ask?

I have times where I put a short or a buy on NYSE stocks It traded past the level I wanted to short or buy, then reversed direction. Of course I didn't get the fill. Only if the stock was going to keep moving against you, you will more likely be filled at the price you specified even...

Hi beaburt, I think Don covered this before when people asked him why he doesn't rebate traders for liquidity. The reason is BECAUSE they don't charge for ECN fees. If a broker charges you for ECN pass-through fees (in addition to ticket charges) and then rebates you part of those...

I'm lost. What was the conclusion here? I elected MTM last year. I'm considering trading NQ but I'm wondering if I lost the 60/40 tax advantage because I elected MTM. According to that link, it sounds like it turns into ordinary gains now with no advantage. But when I made my...

I had a problem before with standalone rebooting my computer right after I enter in login and password. I replaced my generic $15 network card with a $60 Intel network card and it works fine now. Try replacing your network card with one with a chip which doesn't offload the network...

Shadow just put all his shorts into his long term portfolio. :D

How much lag did you have from HK to New York? Like if you use QCharts, it'll tell you in milliseconds the delay you are getting your quotes. Is the connection fast enough for day trading or will you be at a few second disadvantage?

Hey Shadow, How much did you make today? :cool: Pretty simple, No Cut = Short the Market Good Trading!

The market is tanking. A good stock you want to short is going down also. You are not going to be able to get an uptick in order to get your short order in. So with a bullet, you will be able to short by selling the bid.

Since NVDA was a screaming buy at 16, it must be an even better screaming buy now at 9.2. :)

That was a stupid change by IB. Now Price up and Price down increment by .001 (Yes, 1/10 of a penny) And Big Price up and Big Price down by .004 (Yes, 4/10 of a penny) This makes the hotkeys completely useless for fast entry. I need to hit price up and down multiple times just to...

Post it, Thanks!

Suppose I put in 2k for 1999, 2000, 2001. I trade this 6k to 16k. Now, in 2002, I'm buying a first new home. I read you can take out 10k for a first new home. So can I take out 16k and only pay taxes on my 10k gain with any penalties? Is there something specific I need to do to let the...

I checked out M-T before. They are just as fake as Waxie. They post a buy for XXX at 25. If XXX trades higher by at least .01 in the whole day, the trade is considered a gain. Then they take the high for the day minus the call price and say that it's their gain for the day. It...

FasterPussyCat, What ever happen to your thread that you were going to show us all your successful trading? You know, those great hindsight calls you made after the moment. You and SE are both so full of S*** you guys should be banned for stupidity. Unlike Tony who tries to help...

P2,, If you don't mind me asking. How much trading capital do you use to make a 6 digit income? Can you do it with a 50k Account which the profits above 50k are taken out every month? Or does your trading style require a larger size account. What is the max risk in dollars or...

Let me pose a dumb question. Suppose, I make 10k in a year. I should owe about 3k in taxes. Then I have a valid trading business trip which costs 3k. Does that cancel out 1 to 1 with the taxes I owed and then I don't have to pay anything? Also, how do you guys report your computer...
