IB changed some server software. the quotes do updates much quicker now.

if the default jpeg viewer has been changed to a malicious program, then you are in danger.

it's funny, when someone says something making sense, like secco, nobody takes notice. anyway I fully agree with him. you are wrong about the stats part, as pointed out by brandonf. of course it's easy to get the stats of losing traders. The numbers change depending on firm and percentage of...

ET suffers from the market's condition. This year, even more than last year, there is no place for luck and amateurism. That gets people frustrated and stressed. You can read it in the threads. More and more are just negative, not even believing it can be done anymore. Of course it's not...

volatility is good. it's what pays the bills. but I prefer it a little more orderly. I mean the first (and actually most) part of the day was just fine with me. Great indeed. then somebody hit the big cover button. I don't mind, it's great after all, when you get a big flashing light...

crazy end of day. covered anyway on scale out. this does not look good for next week. we'll see, but better be careful.

when you combine pivots with active trend (visible with the daily time frame) it's even harder to go wrong.

it's not really a delay, as in delayed quotes. it's a scheduled refresh, every 10 seconds. the data is realtime, but you get it as a snapshot every 10 sec. and I agree, it won't affect you that much. if the market is fast, open book might be disturbing.. well if you try to hit the inside...

it depends on your time frame. each time frame has its own choppiness or trendiness not related to other time frames. so each trader complaining recently of trendless market is only talking about his own trading parameters. I would not read too much into the poll.

yep, all the others do not maintain a fair market. no doubt about it. it's even easy to demonstrate. maybe one day they will be investigated and fined (it happened in the past for NYSE). but for now, I understand anyone avoiding AMEX. low volume stocks on NYSE and AMEX are surprisingly...

I can remember in the last 2 years, 2 major crashes of computer systems. Nasdaq was shutdown totally, NYSE as well. It's tricky because noone can trade at all. it's a total market halt. If you are in a position, it's stressing and frustrating. (for Nasdaq it was because of a human error with...

it depends if you talk about always in with one market or always in accross markets (including hedge, pairs, asset alloc). I think always in within a single market is very difficult. and that's because there are many times no play has good odds to you or any system. maybe it can be done but I...

yes. you don't need it. it's useful on thinner issues.

toronto, sorry I told you my opinion and you disagree. I try next time to tell my opinion only when I agree with you.. LOL. BTW I am open minded since I trade both ways. Can you say the same ? read my posts again. we don't disagree that much. and who cares ? I know you are trying to help...

this thread is about trading without indicators. not about 'indicators vs no indicators'. that's what some pointed out, including myself and there are great posts in here. but maybe you are like me, fed up with threads always quickly turning into a battlefield with one camp against the other...

there is no absolute. there are many ways and many different traders and traders groups. indeed, on ET each group, one after the other, does treat the business as if it is only made of people like them. OK, this thread is for you then : discretionnary traders without indicators. Good. I...
