Why use an MA? Why not a stochastics or CCI of your equity curve?

Isn't this sort of like saying "Go long. Sell when it goes higher. If it doesn't go higher, don't go long."?

Maybe the system being inaccurate IS the most accurate signal generated by the system?

Do you "scale out" at your stop loss too? If not, why not?

I wonder how this would work out if you were trading from a cash account - an account where you can't be short.

Volume - How were "long positions turned into short positions"? I thought that flat positions were turned into short positions. The problem was that the people who went long at the bottom sold long positions that eventually didn't actually exist. Isn't it true that only people who...

Also - always tell the dealer you want your odds bets "working" on the come out roll - they are "off" by default.

You should always play max odds allowed on pass line bets and all subsequent come bets. That's the only way to get closer to breakeven odds over time. Same goes for don't pass and don't come bets - lay max odds at all times. In fact, playing the don't pass line and then don't come on each...

Have you asked them?

Come on Jon - surely the "poll pressure" put on IB from these polls is the real reason IB decided to solve these issues quickly! Don't deny the extreme power of an ET poll! :D

Well, since you "know" it is faulty ahead of time, you accept the fact (and responsibility) that a "bad" liquidation might happen. If you want to prevent it, change brokers. Simple, no?

LMAO. Good job indeed! Your poll caused IB to take action(s) which lead to that result (two good days of trading)! Not.

hoodooman - Did you read the electronic trading agreement you signed when you opened your IB account? If so, why are you complaining about something you agreed to when you opened your account?

Why, since you are such a good IB customer, did you "forget" their policy? I don't understand your complaint - rules are rules - what makes you exempt from them just because you trade 30,000 shares a day? Good grief. You messed up - big deal - you obviously liked IB before you messed up, so...

Ditch - you mention with that setup you can achive a 80/20 win loss ratio - what does that mean? Does it mean that in backtesting, 80 of 100 trades were winners? Does it mean if I traded it tomorrow, 8 out my first 10 trades would be winners? Or does it mean that my first 200 trades of...

Those Globex hours are not unusual at all - in fact, just about every holiday I can remember over the past couple of years the hours were similar.

Dont mean to sound like an ass - but I'm really wondering - are you guys actually trading these markets with real money and don't even know when they are open/closed ? :eek:

Why would you be asking IB for formal answers about this through ET instead of directly with them? Doesn't make much sense.

But I don't have to pay commission!

Weel, i don't understand how it could have been changed "momentarily" - since after it was changed it was filled - then there would be nothing left to change "back".
