Price action can be tested. It is more difficult to do with a computer than filtered (indicator) action but it is doable. Alternatively it can be done by a person who is sufficiently aware of the tendency to fool oneself in such work.

While you are not trading why do you need real time ES data? You could ask on the SC forum and you will find that people will be willing to upload ESxxx.scid files so that you can back test your theories.

For anyone who doubts that S&P are right ... a large number of their stocks have no or negative earnings. That compensates for the ones in the 14-25 pe bracket. The V shaped recovery will be interesting to see.

I too have at various times suffered from impulsive trades. For me, any impulsive trade is bad because it is a divergence from strategy. My only solution has been a 15 minute rule. If I have a loser I shut Sierra Chart for 15 minutes, write up the trade, think thru the trade, and what I...

Thanks Hoi, Always good to see your information. So the answer for now seems to be "if you want solid market depth info to go with IB trading you're going to have to pay for it separately."

Yet another thread is hijacked by people who are either: - paid to slag ib - ib haters - a little bit stupid Its amazing the combination of repeated errors (by he who claims to be a girl) and even the last poster. I'd call them twats but I can't be bothered today. PS. A little bit...

Being helpful, as I always am on IB threads. I have still got my 890.6 TWS install available. Best version ever!!! http://rapidshare.com/files/211196190/tws40_install_890.6.exe 65 downloads and never a complaint (not that I'd fucking listen to a whinging complaint anyway!!!)

Alexis, Thanks for generating one of the most interesting discussion threads here for a while. Travis, Its a shame ET doesn't have a best posts strategy because I'd nominate that for one of them. Although I think you skipped the way people attempt (some succeed, some don't) to use...

Its time you spent some time with a shrink figuring out why this made you angry. You'll end up a better trader.

And the mad man's true nature ....

are you blind? Hang Seng futures are down 1.87%

yep, yep, yep. They said that on the first big rise after 1929 too. And the next one as well. Bear market rallies are impressive to behold. So we wait and see if for once stcktrdr knows something about fundamentals that overturns the debt baggage and the loss of baby boomer spending.

For the OP ... also look at what you can do with Interactive Brokers. For BP trader. I can't believe you're serious about PNG. Or that you propose this and can't spell Pakistan.

pf=1.075 says that the sum of money gained divided by the sum of money given to the market is very close to 1. You should be concerned. Is this an indication of future performance? Typically people look for system pfs of 2 or more although you may go down to 1.3-1.5 in special circumstances.

ib connectivity to hk was fine from both Australia and New Zealand.

Doesn't this simply suggest that we have to be aware of the environment and adapt to it. Perhaps trade long enough term or with appropriate order types so that these disadvantages are not significant.

I voted short because that is true of my current trading but I think it depends what issues you are facing. 1. Some things simply work more reliably in longer timeframes. 2. Longer timeframes provide longer for psychological recovery after losing or winning trades. Also more time to...

LMAO. What makes you think that favoritism and corruption has anything to do with democracy? Talk to someone who's lived in the middle east or asia if you really believe that.

Half true. They correlate with China's imports - and while China continues to stockpile Australia sits in the sun, ignorant to what's around the corner.

and now hsi is at -0.5% Leading which way I always wonder. :)
