    Does IB chart backfill suck for anyone else

    Clear all data, then backfill. Tech support suggested this and it works everytime.

    tough trading week of 09/11/06

    Some of the moves were pre-market so you had like 4-6 point ranges during regular hours. Daytraders don't hold overnight.

    tough trading week of 09/11/06

    For the index futures, it was CHOP ZONE. One thing I learned, stay away from the chop.

    Looks like it being extended past this year. Definitely worth it for volume traders.

    ER2 trading strategies

    Today was a contradiction to your theory. I watch the ES and YM when trading the ER. The ER has been leading the ES for much of the past year. Today, percentage-wise it lagged all the other indices but buying the low at about 719 and you would have had a strong trending run to 726. There...

    DailyFX

    Can anyone recommend a good source of daily commentary specifically on EuroFX? Currently I'm using DailyFX and was wondering if there are comparable news sources. Not looking for a paid advisory service just something like theStreet, MarketWatch or CNNfn but for currencies.

    Elders newest book

    Perused it at B&N or was that Borders. Anyway, book was expensive but an easy read so I went through it in one sitting at the B&M. Interesting stuff on how other people trade. Decent analysis. Gave you a quiz on what you would do on some of the trades. You get to see the outcome.

    If I could only trade 1 strategy, this is IT

    Just as nothing is absolute in trading, PP are not guaranteed to always work but the simple fact that every one watches makes them self-fulfilling. I am much more inclined to fade for quick ticks around pivot points than any other price point. I only use the classics, none of those...

    Sometimes, the big guy is the market. Kuta talks about a big russell trader who has been consistently short since May or earlier. The liquidity on the Russell isn't as deep as other markets like the SP so the trading of one person or fund can move the markets. There was times when Kuta...

    Well, take today for instance, I was short 15 minutes before the close, thinking of MOCing it. Coincidentally, Kuta had a day trade with the idea of doing the same thing. Instead at about 4:05pm, he abruptly said he was closing out his position right then. He had gotten an IM from someone on...

    My only concern is how much of a "tuition" you're going to be paying to get up to speed. Before she had put up the disclaimer, most people like myself believe the numbers were real. You could potentially blow out trying to match her fictional results. Never knowing that those results were...

    guru trading with strategy runner

    I hesitate to point it out but Fooser & Pal uses it. Do a search for their website. Back in Feb/March, the last time I was involved with the service, he was in a losing streak.

    I was a member for 2 months. I cancelled because the posted results were not actual trading results. She calls the trades and then takes credit for the winners and dumps the losers. Nice not to have to worry about slippage. The technical analysis was good and I think if you were careful...

    Simulated Trading vs. Real Trading - ButtonTrader

    Funny thing when I was sim trading with BT, it was such a good simulation, I actually did worse. Since going live, my results are profitable, I like to think I was well prepared by BT.

    The most popular IB front-end

    Which is why I think it was made as a different strategy. As you noted, it could be dangerous on the same strategy. But you don't want to be limited to what you can do. I use the breakthrough strategy as a strangle. For those moments when the markets is gonna explode but you don't know...

    This is incorrect. Try Select Strategy. Use BkrTr.

    But I can bet you there are cheerleaders in the room encouraging him and telling what great trades he's made. Beware. It's probably people on the payroll.

    Feds reaction should US markets sell off

    :cool: :p :cool: Man, that Russell move was sweet. If the SP wasn't such a laggard, we would be higher. Still plenty of day left.
