    When do you think this bull market is going to end?

    A big drop in the market that looks sustainable will bring a lot of guys in the buy and hold camp into the trading arena. A big improvement in the game, for seasoned traders.

    Oh sure, of course there is some pumping and dumping going on in his media. Not saying he is 100% bona fide legit and working for the greater good. I do find his videos in the series to be compelling and entertaining though. His voice is strangely irritating but one gets over things like that...

    Ross Cameron traded $583 into $1M in 500-something trading days, and not decades ago, either. Of course, he was no beginner. Look him up on youtube.

    Yeah I know. I just don't feel the passion for futures. Anyway I will be back at the table in a few weeks, no sweat. So if I went in for live trading futures to fill the gap, or forex or whatever, I would just be rushing in with too little preparation when I could wait it out. It's not like I am...

    Are you actually a new trader, or do you just want to be, or plan to be, a trader? If you have already been trading, how long have you been trading? What do you trade? Where did you learn about trading? How big is your account? U.S. or offshore? What brokerage? Do you have a paper trading...

    How Do I Display VWAP on Charts in TWS?

    Only runs on Mac or Windows. I can't use it.

    If you have just open a $2000 account,what would you do?

    Could this hypothetical expert in every market have become an expert without trading successfully? You are right. An expert should have a lot more capital than $2k. I don't think you could call yourself an expert without having traded up to at least $250k or so. But let's say this expert just...

    Darn. I just checked my email. IB shut me down after all. I thought I managed to squirm past the PDT thing yesterday but the only thing I managed to do was to close my positions and activate the PDT flag. That's okay. Next month I will be funded properly and can trade at will. It looks like I...

    How Do I Display VWAP on Charts in TWS?

    I have done exactly that. I really like TradingView and when I am only trading one position at a time, I use it for my entry signals. The VWAP looks really good on TV charts. I was messing with Ichimoku clouds but right now that is on the back burner, but TV does a really good implimentation of...

    How Do I Display VWAP on Charts in TWS?

    Yeah I tried that one. I don't know... didn't seem to do what I am looking for. But reducing std devivation to near zero to consolidate boundaries into the average line is a pretty clever trick.

    How Do I Display VWAP on Charts in TWS?

    The closest thing I can find to VWAP is what TWS calls "VWAP Of The Bar" and it is not VWAP at all and doesn't even remotely resemble VWAP. I know it is in there somewhere but I just can't find it. I have mostly been using Bollinger Bands but VWAP is really useful, too. I am almost certain I was...

    GRRRRRR the winning streak is broken. I lost $6 today. For some reason TWS was giving me an error when I tried to transmit. Invalid time or some such nonsense. I tried all the relevant settings, and no joy. Tried the "IBot" help system and the regular help, nothing helpful there, but it wasn't...

    Hers is a Halman 20 sloop. cute, salty little microcruiser. No inboard but we put a dandy outboard bracket on her and stuck a long shaft 6hp Tohatsu on it which is about 3x the power needed for that boat. My little boat is a 1976 Cal 2-27 originally sloop rigged, now mastless, and the Atomic 4...

    Okay but we don't use grey poupon here in the house of Growl. I hope French's ballpark yellow is satisfactory. And yeah even the somewhat more primitive RPi models 3B and below make excellent processors for robotics. Open source hardware and software is a beautiful thing. The price is right...

    What would you tell your 18 year old self about trading/investments?

    I would tell my 18yo self, who would be living in 1977, to first of all, Live poor by choice NOW, save and invest all that money you are making instead of blowing it on babes, booze, drugs, clothes, cars, and good times. All the money you are blowing could grow to significant wealth by the time...

    Yachts? I have two. One I would cheerfully sell for $70k and the other I would give away to the right person. GF has one and it can be had for $5k or so. We would like to get it down to just one, and having none at all would not be so bad. Now the multi million dollar yachts with full time...

    What do you want to trade? (stocks, futures, options, forex, ETFs, yadda yadda) What is your funding source and how much can you get your hands on? Do you want to day trade or swing trade? Do you want to trade for yourself with your own account, or be a professional working for a firm? Are you...

    Doesn't work. You were not wrong, sad to say. I got my 4GB RPi 4B Friday. Unfortunately the two video outputs are via micro HDMI, not mini HDMI. I didn't have a Micro HDMI cable or adapter so I ordered a couple on Amazon, but due to Barry, Amazon Prime said couldn't deliver until Wednesday...
