The most common thing that traders don't have. :cool:

I would say, it depends on volatility. Summers tend to be less volatile, but this past one was a clear exception to this rule. Same is true about the lunchtime. So am I to think that his system is not good for low volatility periods? I guess so, since it is a trend following system. Am I right?

but why is he charging a hefty $795 (or so) for that with no money back guarantee and no conditional money back guarantee, such as that if you are not happy after paper trading the system for 2-3 months, you have the right to return it for a full refund. I would stay away from anyone who does...

except that they seem to suck anyway, because in the past they could not get the TICK data correct, but only the positive values!! I told them about it, but never heard back from them!

The rabid buyers are shorts that jumped in too early, I believe.

You mean the treaties about avoiding the double taxation, right? Or correct me if I got it wrong. Thanks, wally_

I believe that Transmit and Cancel should not be next to each other on the TWS pop-up menu. Sometimes, I want to cancel my order, not placed yet, completely and really dread doing it because I am afraid I will hit Transmit by accident. That's not a good solution. And they should indicate in...

I think you are right, except that when you are trading some system, you want to stick to its rules. OTOH, I do not take all entries this system generates, because some simply won't work (say, it tells you to go long when the market is already 20 pts up from its intraday bottom and is more...

How about the so-called Eastern Europe, which actually is more like Central Europe, and by that I mean the countries of the former Soviet block such as Poland, the Czeck Republic, and Slovakia. I am mainly interested in Poland, but would also like to know how these things are resolved in the...

Yep, I know what you mean. I once had two option contracts, and thought I sold both of them for a profit only to find out that the next day that I sold only one of them. The other one was still in and of course, according to Murphy's law, it was showing a loss...

I entered what was meant to be a stop-loss order 6 pts away from my entry only to find out that it was executed soon afterwards, so I must have entered something else. Now, was it really me, because I swear I did that right, or was it IB TWS? Bracket Trader somehow refused to cooperate...

Are all countries in the same situation, or only those for which there are some additional tax treaties about avoiding double taxation?

I am in touch with him working on my problem...

I ordered it and tried to use with IB TWS. I will probably have to download the newest build of TWS because it does not work with my current build (May 02). You will not get a refund because the software is guaranteed to work, or something to this effect.... Perhaps it does work, perhaps it does...

of Dynamic Trader fame, anticipated the low on 10/10/02 based on Elliot Waves. If you notice extreme values of Tick (from 10/02 through 10/10 we had negative values of Tick below -1000 with the exception of 10/03, with the extremum on 10/10 at -1341, rarely ever seen) it was kinda obvious that...

more likely related to one standard deviation (ca 68%) than anything else, so that's how they got that cut-off. OTOH, can I get MP using QCharts Basic version, or do I need to go for more expensive versions? Thanks, wally_

Now, I also know that I should watch TWS whenever I use BT, but this thing was supposed to replace it... I guess, it is still far from being able to do it. I realized that sometning went wrong when I heard another beep that was not supposed to occur. It was the reverse order that was to be...

According to its online help, here is what BT is supposed to do when you press Close and Reverse: 'this will close your positions immedately at market and enter the opposite side also at market'. Here is what it did to me: it did close my position when I pressed that button, but it did not...

(prison) bars...

tight stops are really healthy, they can give you a lot of stress, plus it seems to me that you do not trust your method very much if you need to protect yourself that much. I find 4 pt stops optimal for me, my targets are 4-6-8 pts.
