It was not the mobile device that belies unbelief. It was the casual approach to trading using a celly with no plan like whatevs bruh, high win rate! Another trade, time to eat and not pay attention again! This is preposterous. Trading is hard work but I guess only the initiated would know...

^ That may be but crashes happen because of the absence of liquidity. Speculative bubbles, or blow-off tops, is as close as the market gets to a 'flash rally'.

Apparently I'm the only one who thinks this thread smacks of amateur and is ridiculous. There is no way that some guy on his mobile is taking money out of the market everyday. I trade for a living and this is fantasy trading in sim at best.

Mostly scanning with das trader. It's basic but gets the job done. I have another on tws with IB but I've never used it.

Precisely.

I've used Trade Ideas before. This is not a new product. The scanner is quite good, and if you're daytrading stocks, having a good scanner is essential. If you pay for the year up front, it's like $90 month. Having said that, I don't use it anymore. I have a scanner on my software that is good...

On that page I linked you to there was also a section on custom commands which I think are shortcuts for order types/quantity and all that.

The most important thing about technical analysis is ignoring technical analysis.

You're substantiating my point. If volume is the catalyst that propels price to move more quickly, as in your example, then volume cannot be both the mass and the propellant. Anyway, I'm just being semantic so I'll leave it at that.

I have an account with IB but with different front end software for data and it was fine.

^ on the contrary, volume is neither mass nor velocity as it pertains to momentum. Price is mass. The speed at which it moves is velocity. Volume is something altogether different.

Take the time to familiarize yourself with the various exchanges and their incentives and create route strategies according to your needs using hotkeys. I would not suggest auto routing an order. That's lazy and will cost you money. However, trading is not only about cost per trade, so you'll...

Even perma-bears are right at least once per cycle ;)

Fixed commission is one price and you don't have to worry about extra fee's nor do you get rebates. Tiered is you choose the route and the exchange, fees vary accordingly but rebates are passed to you. Tiered may or may not be better depending on your trading style. If you're constantly hitting...

Not sure where you're going with this. Doesn't IB match orders in their own pool first if smart-routed and sell their flow to Timber Hill? Looks like standard practice for brokers these days.

Never used multicharts but from a brief internet search, seems like you should be able to program them pretty easily. They're called 'keyboard shortcuts'. https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Keyboard_Shortcuts If that doesn't work, then I don't know. I tried a demo of...

Rebate trading is the past, not the future. There actually was a time when, if you were working with a firm that already offered low commissions, rebate trading was very lucrative. Now, the structures have changed, the rebates are minimal, the spread is tight, so not so much. Market-making is...

Interesting. If the buy/sell/profit zones were already there before the data ever appeared then that is intriguing. Otherwise, I don't know what I'm looking at. edit: on the other hand it looks like every indicator you have overlayed onto a chart all at once. And the point is...?

AMP offers a LOT of platforms. I'm sure you'll have your pick, I can't imagine trading software that doesn't allow hotkeys. I don't know how you can stand tws, the first thing that I did with IB was pay for different front end software. I'm using an antiquated direct access version of...

I don't recall exactly but when I was investigating the total cost per trade with Lightspeed vs. IB, Lightspeed was cheaper. Whether the passthroughs were higher or commissions were lower, I can't recall but at the end of the day, Lightspeed was more generous.
