I don't make more than 4 trades/day and I can go 2 days or more without making a trade if my system does not generate any signals. Also, - I don't revenge trade and I always obey my stops. - I use the same amount of risk per trade so I adjust my share size based on the distance of my...

I have been day trading equities full time for a year. I've tried many different systems and no matter what I do I always end up break-even. I win some one day, lose some the other day and at the end of the month there is nothing left. I keep telling myself I'm close to making money but I...

Anyone got a solution for this problem ? You guys just send MARKET orders all the time ? Thanks, I$land

Thank you for your interest Nidarian. I use QuoteTracker & InvestorRT for my charting. My broker is Interactive Brokers so I use TWS for order entry.

I trade on intraday bars and I usually use a BUY STOP-LMT order. I will set the price at 1 penny above the last candle's high and allow a range (the limit part of the LMT order) of a few cents. I will always send a STP loss order at the same time using IB's bracket order feature. The number of...

marketsurfer - I'm already a Trade-Ideas subscriber but I find it limited because you can only choose among the available options. I would like to code what I really want instead. I’m currently watching the tymoraPRO video (48 min long). This software definitely seems like it has some crazy...

just21 - Good stuff, looks like a powerful scanner. Thanks for the info.

That’s great info John, thanks. RadarScreen looks like an amazing product but unfortunately I don’t think I will be able to use it. The reason is I would probably need to open an account with TradeStation and I don’t think that’s possible unless they recently changed their policy. I...

Do you know their website ?

Any other programmable real-time market scanners ?

That's another good suggestion. Thanks sunsetisles.

Thanks lindq. Investor/RT looks very interesing. I will look into it.

Thanks Diamond Geezer. 2000 symbols is amazing but have you actually tried using that many stocks and how fast was it ? Basically, tell me more about the speed if you can :) Does this scanner work locally or remotely ? In other words, do I have to download the data for the 2000 symbols I...

Trade Ideas is interesting but it is too limited for my needs. I would like to have access to every stock on the market and be able to specify my own criteria without any time frame limitations or having to choose among limited options. Basically, I'm looking for a totally programmable real-time...

Efficiency, thank you for your comment. What's weird is last year I tried the Laser platform (from Genesis) and I remember there was a message that really surprised me. It said sending odd lots (to pass in front of other orders) was illegal or something like that and anyone who would do that...

I usually send my orders by increments of 100 or 50 but is it possible to send by increments of 1 ? E.g. 101 shares. If so what are the pros/cons of using increments of 1 for order sizes ? Thanks ! P.S. I'm with IB

________________________________ --> 1/4 per share --> 10-20 times intraday buying power --> No licenses required ________________________ Can anyone really get that ? You probably need a 1M$ account and 1 billion shares traded a month to get this... :)

JayF_eSignal, Thanks ! It seems both our charts are very similar. No big differences. Conclusion : I will stick with IQFeed until further proof :) Thanks to all who participated.

StreamlineTrade, Thank you for your comments. I agree with what you say, except maybe the reliability part, which I'm not sure of. I have strong doubts and that's why I would like to compare. Perhaps, eSignal is not better either. If only people would post their charts ;)

TraderMojo - Thanks for the info. Do you still have access to their data ? If so, would you mine posting a 3-min chart of HANS for Jan. 9th ? (from the open at 9:30 to 12:00 would be great). Thanks.
