I'm not sure if you are referring to the underlying columns or the bid/ask, but my trading partner has been complaining that he has been unable to save his setup with the newest version. The "Save Settings" seems to have no effect.

Market orders? Direct 'em to the Amex if your interested in being a virgin no longer. ;)

It’s dogmatism like this that gets you into hot water. Kinda reads like; agree with me or be labeled an “amateur” trader.

As Def mentioned, definitely get yourself a backup broker for offsetting capabilities.

If I hold overnight I trade with only enough contracts to allow for a wide stop. I try to allow for the worst-case scenario. I ALWAYS pull the plug at a predetermined stop. I can always re-enter if the position turns back in my favor. If the trade is still valid, I have specific rules that are...

tradeRX, Really uncool. You're being a real jackass. I'll be impressed when you show some wisdom and humility. Sorry to hear about your loss, Hitman. Like I've said, I really applaud your honesty and dedication. I have little doubt you'll bounce back.

Well then, I misunderstood you. Sorry about that. :)

Scaling does not necessarily result in having a larger position on at a loss. I scale out of positions in both profitable and losing trades given certain criteria. I rarely take a lose with my largest position, while I often take a profit with the majority of a position. I have compared my...

I applaud your honesty and dedication, but, Kiddo, you’ve got a lot to learn about life. How you choose to judge other traders is your choice. Passing off your prejudices as reality is just flat out unfair to you and to others.

I agree, completely. I really empathize with newer, undercapitalized traders. The new regulation can seem like a “Death Blow”, especially for those who have dedicated a great deal of time to studying daytrading before actively trading. I just hope those affected realize swingtrading is a...

I've read a lot of debate over what style is best or more profitable on this forum. I've heard that same shit for years. I've engaged in it, too. But I've been around long enough, now, to have worked with or had contact with enough traders with radically different styles that I firmly support...

I observe Globex, in regard to the 1 and 5 min, and run two sets of charts. Pit and All Session. I am particularly interested in S/R generated by the overnight sessions. As for conflicting indicators, depending on what is occurring in the Pit at the open, I will weight one more heavily than the...

CQG is in the process of implementing its automated system, OTTO. Someone mentioned PrepETrader, recently. There are a number of system assist brokers who will work systems that they are familiar with. http://www.tradingsystem.com http://www.cqg.com/

I think that would depend on the indicator and how you are using it. I have found that the way in which I use most of my tools results in more reliable signals above the 1 min. On the other hand, I have also designed indicators that work almost exclusively in the 1 min. Depending on what you...

Almost every experience I have had with the AMEX has been while I was holding my ankles. ;)

I forgot to mention that I really liked that quote, as well. Thanks to Babak for it and to jmcgraw for reminding us.

According to IB: "IB does not accept payment for order flow for stock orders. IB may receive payments for option orders pursuant to exchange-mandated marketing fee programs or other arrangements. For further information, check the IB website or e-mail help@interactivebrokers.com."

I guess it shouldn’t surprise me anymore, but I'm still shocked by the need to polarize the issue of trading methodologies. System trading vs. discretionary trading. In reality this is a false dichotomy. The lines are blurred. It is more a spectrum than an exact line of demarcation? You say...
