AllenZ, what kind of breakout is a IRB break?

Oldtrader, The entry friday morning was not difficult. Difficult for me is staying in such a move. As soon as Im above breakeven, I trail with tight stops. One of my projects is to learn how to tailor my (hard) stops much better to the opportunities presented. I much appreciate your...

Oldtrader, I would certainly have went long on the ES, as it tried to rally after the brief test of 884. Your above post gave me the idea you passed this false opportunity. If you wait to long to enter you will miss to mutch on a average move. Why did you pass this as it tried to...

Thanx for sharing this risk magement rule. It inspired me to tweak my intradaymethod. could you include the number of total/winning trades for the running month?

Tampa, Thanxs for the 6.371 dma hoax.

Mr. Sub What is the address for the Mathis and Rundy web site and/or where can I read about their trading ideas? Thanxs

e-mini_wannabe 20b-pdf: Its so much easier to trade in the direction of the trend with the overall momentum in the back.

saschabr, Thanks for your good news. I was waiting for this a long time. When IB start doing this? I missed that IB anouncment and I would like to read their formal arguments for educational purposes. Regards

jwcrim, Thanks for your post. It inspired me to ask Island in a mail why they dont display the relevant orderbooks except the locked and crossed orders. I will post their complete reply as soon as i recieve it. Regards

Huios, Im following your evolution and learn a lott from you and all supportive feedback you receive. I'm no veteran trader yet. I have still a lott of howework to complete. I just have one question which might be of some value for your quest: "How do you want the tape volume and...

what is your average holding period (ahp) for ES mini? as I stated above my (ahp) is 4.4 minutes.

I trade 1 contract as Im still learning and my average holding period is 4.4 minutes. Do you scale in and scale out of your average 4 contracts and what is your average holding period?

Ib compliance warned me that entering multiple small orders at once at ISE would harm or end my trading priveleges. I told them that I will be using Amex for this strategy. No responce from ib on my choice for AMEX yet. :confused:

Yep, ISE doesnt like unbundeling positions in multiple orders of less then 10 contrakts per order. Amex doesnt have this restriction!!!!! Read Amex mail I recieved today: The American Stock Exchange does not have a rule which prohibits orders for under a certain size. For more...

Thank you Freehouse. Unbundeling small positions with Ise seems to be a very time consuming trading practise. Because if I want to sell 9 call options qqq 2004 strike 30 each at a different price, I cannot enter more then 1 order to sell 1 contract at the time and I will have to wait for...
