There. Fixed it for ya.

Very good point. But that is part of what I mean by a practical plan. If it can't be proven then it is not practical. What was practical in 1994 might no longer be so practical in 2019. No, of course not just ANY plan will work. A roomful of monkeys with typewriters will finish that proverbial...

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. It's the American Way. Well, maybe the Earth Way, I don't know. I know this though.... if you spend two months reading every trading book you can get your hands on and you have good graphics and literacy skills, and a good editor and publisher, you can...

Yeah. I would have been more interested if there was a demo.

The RPi 4B arrived today. I will set it up tomorrow and see what it can do. If nothing else it will do for a TradingView scanner. Paper traded this morning, did crazy good, FWIW. Mainly I got things set up just a little bit better. I got my configuration settings routines down a bit better, more...

Precisely. Youtube is full of trading vids, most of which have at least some usable content.

I was googling for python and api stuff and ran across this. Not posting the link. I just wondered if anybody was successfully using it. Looks a bit expensive for something that doesn't even have a demo.

News? Hah. Half the time I don't even know the name of the company I am trading. Price and volume, present and historical, are all I need.

Today was a paper trading day. My intention was to trade from bell to bell on my roughly $260k paper account. Unfortunately my recent configuration changes seem to have messed up my platform. I kept getting an error and TWS would not transmit my order. Something to do with the time of the order...

I get similar glitches sometimes. I had the bigger of my monitors set up with 8 chart windows and one mysteriously came up missing. Then I started paper trading, or trying to, and TWS would not send my orders, kept throwing an invalid entry time error or something like that. It might have...

I have been busy all day so this is the first opportunity I have had to check in. Not ignoring! I was a papertrading madman today. I didn't get my paper trading platform running properly until two hours after the market open. I kept getting a "invalid entry time" error or some such. I finally...

Who cares about Trump? What difference does the news make? By the time you react to a turn in the news, the price of the stock in question has ALREADY reacted, and you are LATE to the table, while the guys who don't even know what the name of the company is that they just traded are watching a...

The winning streak continues!!! +$69!!!!! Three winning trading days in a row! bought EQT, 100@$16.26, time 09:34:10. Stopped out at $16.1548, time 09:35:21, for a loss of -$12.57 GRRRRRRR!!!!! Back in with 100@$15.91, time 09:37:09. Moved stop above entry, stopped out at $15.9635 at 09:39:26...

Wow thanks for posting this! I have been learning Python and messing around with Alpaca's API but I want to keep all my future live trading with IB. I will definitely be looking into this.

Hah that guy has pretty deep pockets so the rent would be kinda high. With his overall track record I think we could work something out on the profit split. I would be happy to teach him all I know. We would need a separate router if he uses that other OS... WinDOHs machines are not allowed on...

Well, I did some mods to the trading station. I tried sticking a full size graphics card in, with the case just left open, but the ports were not all accessible. Then I got a low profile card and now it works just fine. I am at like 1360-something wide, 16x9 on both screens. I got to adjust the...

Hah yeah Padu's journal is definitely entertaining! A great read!

First day of live trading was my best day. PDT limited. Three trades, one stock. I believe it was ABIO. Bull flag momentum strategy right out of Andrew Aziz's book. Screener gave me the stock and I saw that first big bull flagpole with the flag starting to form and said "Hey, I seen that in the...

If I had my own private "anomaly" I'll be damned if I would share it with anybody. If it's that good then I should be able to trade a few hundred pocket bucks on payday up to a very respectable powerhouse account in no time at all. I wouldn't need a partner with deep pockets. I could deepen my...

My first year isn't over yet. My first three months aren't over. But I am up over $300 on a $10k account so I guess I could project to $1200/yr. Meh. At least I am not losing. I was told that I would.
