hi.. I have another linksys router. however, I remember vividly my cybertrader time.. all the packet loss and disconnection are because of cyber not you. I bet you don't loose packet if you are using another data feed for quotes... if you can't compare, just believe my experience.. I switched...

long side, short side is the same. it does not matter. fast market you will be filled very quickly too, 1 sec, 2 tops. problem in a fast market is the price you ask. that's the only delay you can get.. if you are not in the market you wait. market orders don't have the problem of course, but...

They refer to major bottoms and tops. We refer to very short term bottoms and tops, these ones are easier to spot (S/R, Volatility, Speed, etc...) and when you are wrong they don't cost you too much. Back to the original question : think small. small is good. Those wishing for the big move...

I am worried about doing this without their permission. The reverse engineering is probably illegal.. I agree it is really a matter of a couple hours to deliver something we could use as API because everything is in the TWS downloaded on any IB's customer. I prefer to remain lawful and...

50% winning rate is good for active trading. You don't need more to make good money. What you need is good trade management. Higher winning rates are easy to get (take profits quickly) but it does not mean your total R ratio is good. Winning rate by itself does not say enough. Mine is 50%...

Jem, my knowledge with SWP2 is limited because it is rather new. Quotes analysis, chart analysis is very potent. graphical functions are less powerful than RQ or Ensign I think. But please check with them directly.. tntneo

ensign does not do multiple time frames which is a very interesting feature. I used that in StockWatchPro (also Quote.com feed), but at that time SWP was less powerful than Raven.

don t try to guess the market with what you know. it is what you don t know which will kill you. Forget CNBC, people loosing on the other side of my long term trades watch this channel too much. If your decision are still too much fundamentally based, you may have a problem trading...

I think the purpose of relative orders is two fold. First to have an automatic offset on the inside market : this is very good imo. it means you send a limit order and automatically you add slippage to your price. Adding slippage right away does not prevent you from a better price (!) but it...

I think since they lost connection one day with Globex (a couple of weeks ago I think) there are problems there. the lag is obvious, no question there. I see it between esignal and IB (also with the CME DOM) However, I can't be sure about execution lags.. my experience is the opposite IB...

com'on buzzy. Hotkeys are faster than mouse clicks. I use them with IB and you can do it with JTrader too. This is not to say I am happy with IB and their API/SDK issue. As a matter of fact I see more and more IB users moving to JTrader for this reason. I tried JTrader a bit, and I think IB...

The only software which works is software built from successful traders (or firms traning program) for themselves. These kind of software are NEVER on the open market. Indeed you won't escape the hard work of teaching yourself when to buy or sell. And when you know it, maybe you will...

This is a great post ! you put in a few sentences the hard core points to succeed at this. It is not about entry, it is not about secret of the market. It is about systematic approach, hyper discipline, repeating, money and size management. Trading is simple. it does not mean it is easy...

I agree so much candle. As a matter of fact, I am probably the worst trader there is. I let my fear cloud my judgement and will freeze at the wrong time. This is not true when paper trading because there is no money on the line. When doing real trading, strange enough, even loosing $10 is...

there is finally a new feature in Ensign which allows you to paper trade the right way : live data, no way you can 'erase' a trade, includes commissions etc.. http://www.ensignsoftware.com/faq/10-31-01.htm tntneo

these are good for buy and hold or core trading long term. However, the volume is so low, it is sad. Performance might be good but usually spread is not. SPY is broader but so much more liquid. iShares are interesting when you want to diversify (why make it so complicated for long term...

It would be funny if it was not so sad. On the other hand, they make money, that's what the game is about. Don't forget it.

Well, I am really sorry for you. But really they encourage to send wires and here you would have heard other sad checks stories... NEVER, EVER, send a check to IB. WIRE ! With wires you are able to trade within a few days. To be fair, they deliver checks to traders very very fast. In my...
