    Automating Pinescript through Email instead of Webhooks

    P.S. - The code in the attachments above works like this: OutlookSession triggers on startup of Outlook Classic and lives, listening to all email coming in. For each email incoming, it reads both subject line and body looking for keywords. If it finds the keywords, it will grab the attachment...

    Automating Pinescript through Email instead of Webhooks

    I feel the email method of sending alerts out of Tradingview is as simple, but probably simpler, than the webhooks method. So if webhooks is superior, in any way, than say, working directly within TradeStation, Ninja, or MetaTrader (in their own languages), then the same would go for email...

    Al Brooks Net Worth

    This guy goes through, summarizing each chapter of Brook's book (are there more than one?) . Up to chapter 12 in eight months. In between chapters he looks each day at the e-mini to see what he can make of it versus Brook's advice. I don't have an opinion on this particular presentation, but...

    Automating Pinescript through Email instead of Webhooks

    When you script an alert in Pinescript (Tradingview) you can have it point outward toward a webhook address, or you can send it to an email address. I don't think the potential of email alerts has been explored enough. So i've recently began to experiment with it. The potential to handle...

    Stock Account: An idea whose time has come?

    Not sure what you mean by a 15 minute minimal standing order. I don't think speed matters as much as fairness. They should not be able to cycle their capital faster than anyone else. There are good reasons to like the crypto markets for fairness of flow 24/7. It's like what the Nasdaq was...

    Stock Account: An idea whose time has come?

    Ok thanks. If that's true then the total cycle power of a cash account in 30 business days is: 15 x 100 = 1.5k If that's the case then a typical margin account has 8x (12 / 1.5) the cycle power of a cash account. If cash accounts were under the old T+3 rule, then the cycle power of a margin...

    Stock Account: An idea whose time has come?

    That was an excellent letter and I wholly agree and wish to see that sooner than later. I would like to correct something I said earlier, that under the PDT rule in a sub $25k account, you can cycle your capital 100%, ten times, every 30 business days. No, that's under a cash account under a...

    Stock Account: An idea whose time has come?

    I'm new to stocks so the ramifications of T+3 were news to me. Now the news is everything, both stocks and options, is going to settle at T+1. I am now digesting the ramifications of that on what's called "cash accounts". Even with a cash account, the effect of T+1 is still almost the same as...

    T+1 Settlement Date

    I've avoided stocks my whole life so T+3 is news to me. Let me see if i understand T+1. Say i have $1000 and i'm looking to trade a $10 stock all day, in and out. Generally, i can buy and sell blocks of 100 shares. Ok, at 10:00 AM i buy 100 shares. At 11:00 AM i sell 100 shares. Lets call...

    How much futures leverage was used by the Turtle Traders to turn $5,000 into $100 million?

    Let's check... For example, here are the contract specs for soybeans at the CME: Soybean Futures Contract Specs - CME Group It's measured in US cents per bushel, and the contract size is 5000 bushels. At the current price of 1,249 cents per bushel, it would cost $62,450 to buy an actual...

    Unlimited Day Trading Now On Cash Accounts?

    According to a comment somewhere on the linked page, options settle at T-1 whereas stocks settle at T-3. stocks - Using a cash account can someone trade all day on it? - Personal Finance & Money Stack Exchange I was surprised to learn that even with a cash account, the cycling of ones capital...

    Yah not sure where there would have been a centralized depository of price information. The Smithsonian? The Dutch East India Company? The New York Times? Paine Webber? But like oil, Silver is sketchy until about 1970 when it starts to yield candlestick information on Tradingview. Only...

    Yah not sure what kind of oil this would be exactly, or what the specifications were, such as barrel size. Apparently there are different kinds of unrefined oil? I'm attaching a chart of this oil from 1861 to mid 1989. On this chart, there isn't enough information to make candlesticks until...

    Jesse Livermore Trading History Highlights... Excellent Vid...

    Tradingview offers a few markets whose histories reach back to 1975, 1968, 1897, 1833 and even 1802. But when you go back so far the charts get a little sketchy. However, as it relates to this thread, to Livermore, Tradingview resurrects the Dow Jones most clearly dating back all the way to...

    I read Bernard's memoir about 16 years ago, so hard to remember all details, except yes, a good read. I recall how he took the 1933 gold confiscation in stride, like water off a ducks back. Later helped the Roosevelt administration during the war. Good macro analyst.

    Larry Williams

    Yah not sure what he's up to but for a while, he had something of an empire built on mail order marketing. This included a brokerage firm of his own. I didn't order the "advanced" course, so had not really heard of Ted Warren to my recollection. Agree the paper trading charges seemed...

    Hmmm. The plot thickens. It appears Ted Warren is Ken Roberts own company, or one of his companies, according to this FTC violation statement (regarding the efficacy of "paper trading") : Ken Roberts Settles FTC Charges For Release: March 24, 2003 An operator who used deceptive claims to...
