I'd like to add, now that I spent the weekend getting a ton of headaches... I have borrowed code from the various sources and put together my personal AT system using Amibroker under VMWare's Fusion, and TWS Under Mac Java... All linked up and working. I tested order palcement with the demo...

Trust me, I totally understand..... Thats why I stressed I am not knocking you.... Why not just papertrade it, till you are comfortable with your strat and then go all in... Picking up pennies is like cutting off your nose to spite your face... IMO..... Note, these are all MY...

Thats a good reason... Personally 1.25/tick just doesnt do it for me.... Especially at an additional 1.9/rt in commissions... Try just trading one full sized contract till your strat is profitable..... at least 1 tick covers all your upfront expenses... Worse case scenario, scalp a...

As you learn and grow youll realize looking at your data from varying views will give you specific perspectives..... Its hard to trade intraday looking at a daily chart, as you dont "see" visually the price movement patterns. Though there are those who can just look at the numbers and trade like...
