I am a very happy IB customer, but, yes, I had some weard quotes too, in the morning that is. Also I was long ORLC and had a stop placed below lod, but it was not executed for at least 4 minutes while trading below the stop. (It was NOT a stop limit order!) Crossed quotes I have seen...

About E-signal: I loved the Qcharts application, but hated the datafeed delay during busy times compared to IB. Due to all the positive comments I decided to try E-signal. I am only using the datafeed with IR/T. E-signal works a lot better with Investor IR/T than Qcharts. Though the...

A lower high means nothing in an uptrend except that probably some kind of consolidation is forming. In an uptrend you draw the trendline from the lowest low to the lowest low preceding the highest high. At that point in time the highest high was in oct., so no pullback in between should...

Scientist, for the record, I think you are absolutely right, but was only joking here. I do not understand the big losses either. Why not trade small lots like 10 or 15 shares with IB until profitable excl. comm. Then scale up. Sorry..., did not mean to offend anyone :)

Most people are too impatient. I am trading for about 19 years papertrading. For the time being I am happy to be wildly profitable on paper. I am a paper milionair many times over. In a few years I will start trading for real, but only 2 share lots. Then in 23 years I hope to scale...

who cares? :confused: As long as markets keeps moving one way or the other....!:D

Actually it is really nothing new. A double toppish kind of pattern, combined with an trendline break. His main accomplishment I think is his definition of drawing a trendline; from the top of my head: for an uptrend, draw a line from the lowest low to the last low preceding the highest high (!)...

That is what I thought, but the funny thing is there are no recent interviews with him. At least I have not seen them. Does anybody know more?

Is he really still around? I read somewhere that he died of a heart attack but can not find that anymore and another site http://members.tripod.com/~fglinc/featarchive2.htm says: Just gossip?

What link?

For a research project I am looking for daily stock data of individual stocks around the period 1890-1935. Does anybody know any cheap or free sources?

For the record though I don't count making $100 or $200 a day as being wildly successful. Why not? If that is what somebody makes consistently, would't all (s)he have to do be increase size?

PS. Seems like I am talking to myself..not much back and forth, not even daniel saying I suck..do I need to call the whitecoats to come get me again? I love your posts. But there is not much to comment about. The setups are very clear, I am learning a lot. :D

I have tried most types of ma's and think the choice for ema, sma of whatever is less important than sticking to it. But in my opinion the best way to use ma (I use 20 period simple) to enter the first pullback after a price crossover and a subsequent change of slope or at least a flattening...

IRT is great as eod program, but for intraday charting of more than one instrument it is very buggy, when used with qfeed and intraday stuff. I have mixed feelings about the program: it has too many good features to ditch it, but the interface requires a lot of getting used to. There is...
