Thanks for your reply. I will not jump into these products without knowing much. Thanks for your caution. Any good book on ETFs

Thanks very much for the link. Very useful for my purpose. I would like to understand how 2x and 3x work. I mostly sell naked put or sell covered call. Would also like to undersrand margin requirements for these products,Thanks

I admit my system is currently not working.The reason is market is very sluggish and momentum is hardly there. I am experimenting on the following idea: Buy or sell as per original system. Put a stop at 10 points and no particular profit target. After market has gone up 5 points (for a buy...

I will go long at the first green bar.Just take a profit of 5 pts which mostly is all the time because it is a small target. Then i will wait till chart makes first red bar and will go short. Target only 5 points. Not many times there will be a loss of ten points. But most of the days I have a...

Thanks slacker and stevesbg, I donot know how to post a chart from QT to this forum. But I will try to learn from a friend. Plese look at todays ES chart box size 2, After a green bar formed the second one was there. This has happened twice. After the second green bar the run upwards was...

119 views- not much interest. either people donot like renko charts or there are so called lots of profitable systems.

Thanks for your feedback. What you say is my fear as well. I would like to improve on this aspect. If I have 10 as profit and 10 as loss, most of the time profit target is not met. I have not tried 7.5 on both sides. But over last six months I have been profitable 80-90 % of days. I have...

I use FTSE100(Z) futures. Each point is £10. I set up the renko charts with a box size of 5. After open whenever a green bar forms I will take a buy trade. Sometimes I set this up in advance in the anticipation. Immediately my trade is filled, I set up a limit order for 5 pts profit and a...

Thanks I will give it a try.

link does not work. i am keen to watch this movie.

Thanks

Could not find any books by ruth. If you dont mind please give proper link. Much appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, I will look into Ninjatrader. I mostly like to use Renco charts. I have to find whether they give this type of chart. Why cant IB negotiate special deals for IB a/c holders? That will be excellent move.

Is there any other alternative to QT which is reasonably priced or it is free? Thanks for the replies

My a/c with IB is in base currency of GBP. All the time I earn some income in EUR and USD. My GBP net fluctuates depending on exchange rates. Periodically I can convert EUR and USD to GBP manually. But is there a procedure where IB will covert them automatically at the end of the day all my...

Sorry I do not get margin report. Can you get margin used by individual positions or just totl for all the positions. Thanks

Sorry, I have gone through the example you have given in your link. No need for another example. I would prefer the symthetic version. Is there a table of popular option positions and their synthetic versions anywhere? Thanks. I will order your book to-day as well.

Thanks Mark for your valuable post. Much appreciated. I will have to re-read to understand properly. I wish you can give a hypothetical example. But thanks anyway for your insight.

I had about ten covered calls on various ETFs - like DIA, SPY. QQQQ, and IWM. This month was the best month either for covered calls or short puts as has been pointed out. All my stocks have been called away and I have earned good premium. But of course I have missed on the upside. The...

Yes I am learning. My first book on options was Options as a stategic investment by McMillan. There Covered call writing is from page 31 to 86. I was so impressed and thought this was a holy grail. In the Bull market I have done so well. Three income-1 Premium income , 2- Profit from stock...
