    Simple TS Question

    I got an els file for TS that contains some indicator. Now, when I use it with TS, will I be able to see the code for this indicator? I have never used TS, so please excuse this question. In fact, I am mostly interested in the code and not TS. I would appreciate your answers. TIA, wally_

    Netpicks S&P E-Mini Futures Day Trading Service

    that, but I find it odd that many other services of this kind that also present their results as hypothetical have been mentioned here, but not this one. I will let you know in some time, I guess in a few months how I am doing.

    Netpicks S&P E-Mini Futures Day Trading Service

    misunderstood that disclaimer: "...NetPicks will not trade every position mentioned so results and performance can be considered hypothetical based on simulating results..." The disclaimer says only and that's how I understand it, that they do not take all the trades, perhaps none at all...

    Netpicks S&P E-Mini Futures Day Trading Service

    I started this thread yesterday but a moderator has apparently gotten rid of it on this board and I really don't know why. At least it seems to be gone and I could not find it via search. I just would like to know if anyone on this board has had any experience with the service in question...

    Two universal accounts at IB?

    I appreciate your prompt reply, but what do you mean by that logic if you could elaborate. I thought it was impossible to handle the same futures contract in two systems in the same account because IB TWS would treat it as one position and not two which is what I would like to have. Am I...

    Anyone trading the DJ Eurostoxx 50?

    that I can use for Sierra Chart? I tried ESTX-200212-DTB and ESTX50-200212-DTB, but it did not work. I got the message 'no data to display'. Any idea what to use? I noticed that someone else had the same or similar problem? Has it been solved yet? TIA, wally_

    Two universal accounts at IB?

    is that putting on position1 will affect position2. I just realized that. So what's the best solution here? There must be some. Thanks, wally_

    Two universal accounts at IB?

    Is it possible to have two UA's at IB? I would like such a setup to trade ES using two different systems. Or perhaps there is another way to solve this problem which basically is this: suppose, I have placed a stop-buy order for 1 ES contract with a 6 pt stop-loss and MOC (position 1), and...

    Son of Something Very Simplistic

    ES: 8 trades (4 times 2 contracts), 41 pts, all winners. I used to shoot just like you. Got tired... I am now testing a cooler approach. Also paper traded only, but with a decent margin for slippage, could have scored more points if held longer.

    Medved QuoteTracker with IB

    'Banal' is a pretty international word, I would guess of French origin, exists in other European languages as well. It should be used more frequently, but that's just an aside remark. Yes, SierraChart is very good, I use it too.

    My (JT) Index Options Trades

    You bought a 480 OEX call @0.95 only to sell it at a loss. I sold this call naked @1.25 and I am up $100. You know why I did it? Well, you need to know stuff like that in order to play options successfully. Take your time, study and observe the market. Then come back again. The market is here...

    My (JT) Index Options Trades

    your guts and perseverance, much less your brains... sorry, but it's obvious that you are refusing to think... you have no strategy and hardly any knowledge of options. Get some book on options, observe the market and paper trade, then start again. Once you are finished with these basics...

    Intraday Backtesting

    Check out this webpage http://sierrachart.com/data.html#rt that belongs to the makers of Sierra Chart. It says that myTrack offers intraday chart data for only $25 a month or so. I have not used this service yet so cannot say anything else about it.

    Help with multiple monitors

    on Windows98 SE using two additional Nvidia TNT2 cards bought for circa $45 (each) on the Internet. Everything works great, although Windows98 SE is not the most stable of computer operating systems as we all know. Still, you can run additional monitors on it without major problems other than...

    Intraday Backtesting

    Why do you want to test your trading setups on intraday data? If they work on daily data, they should also work on intraday data, right? Otherwise I would not consider them good enough, that is not realiable enough. Some patterns are universal, they occur in any time frame, testing them for one...
