You need a system if its only one pattern or setup that trades frequently enough for yourself or you'll find yourself deviating from the plan. Theirs an old saying " If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail". Size is dependent on your risk. Backtesting and...

Got a new laptop awhile back and ended up getting office 365, desktop just had a licence for excel 2016. Was updating my trade journal and noticed "Stocks" at the top. Bit of googling and found this...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/globalnews.ca/news/5707046/trump-americans-buy-canadian-drugs/amp/ Seen this article on my apple newsfeed this morning. Seems like a crazy idea. Even if something like that came to exist, the population of California itself is larger then up here in Canada. Couple...

Theirs data subscriptions and inactivity fees( waived or reduced if you pay “x” amount in commissions).

You’d have 1000 barrels of oil being delivered to your house. Actually think your broker would liquidate before It expired from what I’ve understood. Most retail brokers aren’t in the business of taking deliveries .

That’s a funny classic. His trading method reminds me of someone betting on horses.

Sorry I had the issue with IQFeed plugin with Amibroker. Never used their API

Has to do with time stamps and the way the data is arranged into 5 minute,1 minute time intervals. Seen similar thing running IQFeed data before. So if you turn on IB and allow to see extended hours trading. The Open of the bar stamped 16:00 is the daily close. But that bars close is 16:05 so...

Norgate doesn’t have intraday data so that’s a bust. IQFeed could do the job but the API access cost a couple hundred I believe. If you have some charting software that has a IQFeed plugin that can export data that’s an easy way. QCollector is a simple software (paid) that can retrieve...

Well data is far from perfect. Yahoo uses CSI data from what I re collect but their adjustments can get wonky at times and theirs no one to complain too. When I used IQFeed few times I found issues a quick e-mail had it looked into and fixed within 24 hours. Yahoo also dividend adjust their...

Any names? If I can find a steel toe work boot that fits like a glove, none of that break in crap, and has goretex or similar waterproof membrane, I’ll give it a shot for 100$

The cost is the problem. I have been a redwing guy for 8 years now. The pair I got now is 4 years in and the sole is the only issue. If I had a redwing store handy they’d re-sole it for free once but they only have a few shops on west coast of Canada. Think they retail for 300-325 here for the...

Any reason you can’t just trade the underlying. Not an option guy but trying to scalp options sounds way less liquid/reliable then getting into the underlying for a quick trade.

Home come these articles never have a headline like “ Trader sells spreads for 2 million dollars “

Earnings date can be volatile. That’s one way to avoid gaps. Some large caps have so many analyst on them that gaps aren’t as frequent. Some small caps can get wild every quarterly earnings release. On a chart you can pretty much see every earnings with huge gaps either way. Some are from...
