    AVERAGING down/up = success?

    I averages down and up thursday and friday trading es. I intentionally enter with 1 contract and scale in 1 contract at a time. I did take a small loss both days before turning profitable. Had I had the balls to not take the loss in the first place then I would be really profitable. Let me...

    IB stand alone or browser based?

    Still using Ib. I was wondering if browser based would be quicker in getting your orders executed? I have a pretty fast machine (thank you Gnome) and my speed is 3m. So which is better?

    IB's Stubborn Defendants

    Then why does tws allow me to submit the change. Shouldn't I get an error when I change the STOP LIMIT after the limit was touched. What benefit does changing the stop limit order have (once the limit was touched). If I wanted to change the stop I would have moved that. If I wanted to...

    IB's Stubborn Defendants

    Positive, once the stop limit has been touched and you change it to a higher stop limit, its no longer a stop limit. The guy on the phone explained to me that it is a current working limit order so if you change it even though you submit stop limit, it's still a limit order. If anyone can...

    IB's Stubborn Defendants

    Yes I am new (6 months), but i already had my problem with ib. I posted it on the brokers rating but let me get your opinions. I was short es i think it was 3-4 contracts around 901 (couple of months ago). I put stop limit order for 1 of the contracts and it got hit. I changed the stop limit...

    why scale out

    If I had closed my entire position (3 contracts) for .50 then I would have really felt like a jackass. I look for 2+ points for every trade. I was scaling out for the first time and I wanted to see how it felt psychologically. It sucked. every time I try to scale out I end up making less...

    Unholy Grail to Success

    I was a bit unclear of the use of the macd (actually the way I use it). It's the histogram that I mainly use it for and not the crossovers of the ma's. If you look in the graph where you pointed out the histogram shows a negative divergence. The momentum part is how high/low the histogram...

    Unholy Grail to Success

    One more time please. I am convinced that everything you see on a chart is a lagging indicator why? bec. it already happened. So when I see you converge a few bars into one bar to visualize momentum, well that happened already therefore its lagging. To (hypothesize and) say the market turns...

    Saliva is it not feasible to say that if price moves up slowly rather than fast, that price should be held stronger to the upside?
