Hi, Great news, and congrats for the good work. I think such a project is very much needed. BTW is there a chance that your code could be hooked up in some way with qtstalker, so that one could use their charting with Interactive Brokers real time feed? And run strategies, backtest etc...

All values are cultural. The rest is necessity.

Yeah, the best ones are those, who, when winning, feel and advertise themselves as the greatest; when losing, they are stilll the greatest, but unfairly treated and cheated. Even their $5 worth stop is mercilessly hunted down. Continuously and eternally robbed of their chance to prove...

Well, aggregating currency amounts one wants to convert, to currency trades one would take anyway, workes just fine for me, because IB allows odd lots for trades above the minimum trade size. I use it every day for conversions and in order to eliminate negative residuals. Of course, I have...

I think you have not understood what I wrote. There is no double commission, just normal trading costs on IDEALPRO. You do not do anything extra, just trade normally. And if you do it the right way, you can even generate trading gains with it. My solution simply integrates conversions into...

All residuals (all amounts below 10 USD) were converted, without any charge. But read my posts above, the solution I write does work without any problems.

This happened to me exactly one month ago. But before, it had not happened for a year.... So I don't really think they do it regularly ... just sporadically.

While fx futures are a possible workaround (at least for the most common pairs), trading fx in an intelligent way one never will have to use IDEAL for conversions, and one does not need to live with negative residuals at all.

There are several solutions for this, and you do not even need to use IDEAL for it. Negative residual in a quote currency (like USD) 1. trade EUR/USD or GBP/USD on IDEALPRO and win at least as much as your negative residual is. Your winning will be in the quote currency. 2. buy 100k...

Obesity is the consequence of malnutrition. But in the case of US malnutrition is not a consequence of not having enough money to buy food, but rather the bad habit of eating far too much fast food, idustrially processed food and/or designer food. It is a (un)cultural thing.

I find "scalping" with a specific (fixed tick amount) target is a losing game. A scalper should not limit himself but take whatever the market is willing to give in a specific situation. If you learn to read the tape or the charts, you will find situations where the price will probably move...

ECN Brokers generally have this settlement time. Market makers and bucket shops are open 24 hours.

Just take a lot of Jesus and hedge it with a lot of Lucifer. Just in case it is he who wins... As they tend to have a negative correlation, you will have to go long or short with both at the same time. It's easy. BTW you could try to build both of them over synthetics...:D

Their commissions are too high if you deposit less than $50K. If you lose and your equity begins to shrink, the commission keeps growing. Very fair..:confused: :D http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/forex/forex_trading_accounts/commission-policy/ You get much better commission rates with IB

Their inactivity fee is only 10 USD a month. It becomes 20 USD if your account equity is below 2000 USD, but never 30. How can 10 USD a month become a problem for an inactive trader? :confused:

I agree, if you trade every signal mechanically, it will never be profitable. It is just a visual aid to dicretionary trading. One can use it, or not, or use another indicator, or trade naked. It depends on the individual, what is helpful for him in seeing and interpreting PA and momentum...

It works well on all timeframes, but each of them (and I guess each instrument) has to have its own optimized settings. 9,26,52 will not work everywhere. I do use it even on 5sec charts, and it is accurate. Ichimoku settings have to be optimized to express cycles. Look into the wavelength...

It is already automatic.. :D :p

Your rules are too simple. You have to adjust your theory. At fib levels the price will either bounce or break through. You will know after the fact any way. This way you can have 100% accuracy:D :D (except when it gets stalled at those levels. But this would be the best proof that...

Such things will be used to give an ideological base for the introduction of a global transaction tax aka Tobin tax. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=150546
