    Wheat Futures Price Action

    Scale in up to 660, scale out starting at 740-790. Must decide how to play the pull backs. 800 is ripe for a try-fail based on the charts. Be nimble. But, I don't know how ZW behaves, so FWIW

    Do you think you need to see the order book to be successful in day trading?

    Assuming you are not trading big size, then "NO", because it is a distraction from getting the right entry-exit from your system. OTOH an automated signal of the "favorable conditions" you want, is OK, but trying to manually determine in real time said condition or as a "check" before...

    I didn't realize how juvenile and snarky most of E.T. was, but...

    So *you* offer altruistic mini pearls of wisdom and offer to "help". But posts are wordy and scattered, in a GPT generated "style" post. ET users are into the details, not the generalities. Actionable information is best. Or at least historic details for a post mortem. So train your LLM...

    IB Fills have gone bad ?

    Yep you are correct. Normal when you trade through, the limits are all gone. I think the OPs original issue is being in FXPro and the minimum lot size which is 1/10th a normal lot. So he got thrown in some bundles. One way in stocks would be for there to be odd lots. An odd lot trades...

    IB Fills have gone bad ?

    In a perfect world yes, but obviously it is not perfect. :D Disorderly markets happen, usually when under stress, but also when there is not enough volume to make things work smoothly. He needs to Learn: How to trade with imperfect fills. Better order management. MKT if touched for...

    IB provided false market data, can I claim compensation?

    Put a ticket in to break a trade. See what happens. There is a clear procedure in place. Use it.

    IB Fills have gone bad ?

    You want it to show a sale at your limit and get a fill? Then get in line, literally. There is a que, you know that right? If not, then stop thinking you are a victim and figure out the basics. like how fill-matching engines work.

    Tell me some candlestick patterns and their forecasts

    OK Look at HOOD As people say it is context and NOT creating things that fit. I.e., don't go along and "find patterns" and then try to trade them. They are too weak to stand on their own, out of context. Above are some comments going from left to right with the underlines. Combine these...

    Unsellable NFTs - Tax Loss Harvesting

    Or sell it to another person for a loss. Document it with paperwork and a bank deposit slip. Just don't sell "same minting" NFT, to each other. That would obviously NOT be an arm's length transfer. But different NFT's is probably OK because the argument could be made, you lost confidence in...

    Fills in paper vs live trading

    I hear you. I am an ex MSFT test manager. So I too know how this goes. I think the bottom line is you *can* work on it, make it work, work around, but it is too far removed from actually trading that it seems like Dev work for its own sake. So I just left that morass and got my focus back...

    Fills in paper vs live trading

    You are assuming there is solid development efforts behind the sim. Give that TWS is in need of a complete rewrite, I don't think that is a good assumption. Also remember the weakest Devs (interns possibly) will be doing the sim version updates. So respectfully, I stand by the "random"...

    Fills in paper vs live trading

    https://www.ibkrguides.com/clientportal/aboutpapertradingaccounts.htm 4th item down and second item in limitations. So the answer is NO in several ways. Not hitting the exchange is a real issue. Top of book is a "magic fill" because you jump to the front of the line. Perhaps it is a good...

    Swing Trading the ARK Universe

    Note on Hood: Closed up because it has momentum and wants to go to 12.50 and test the downtrend top range of the dead cat bounce. Over bought now and has a higher chance of a pull back before it tests. Note the 3x normal daily volume. Depending on the action on the pullback, it could be a good...
