Anything for a fellow SNL member. The j is for Jimmy, right? Edit : Just saw from your first post that it's Joe :( You're still welcome, though :)

Yes, but you need a stop limit order to sell at 18.00 for that. http://www.nyse.com/glossary/glossarylinks.html?s=1042235995792 Whether you can make one order conditional on the other on ETrade is another thing.

If AVO is currently at 18.65, and you wish to buy at 18.00, then just submit a limit buy order at 18.00, not a stop order.

I'll sell you a stack for $3,000.

Seanote, great hearing from you again - I appreciate your kind words and would like to hear what you are up to. The players you mention are all very much here, and I'll let them account for themselves. As for myself, I moved to Las Vegas from NYC in April, necessitating a break from trading for...

Hopefully the connection is not as faulty as the grammar.

I don't use any charting package with the CME data which I store in text files. Rather, I run it through programs that I've written, backtesting the crazy ideas I come up with. The data (unlike myself) is squeaky clean.

ktm, your method, like stu's, works for character strings ('b10, 'b20) but not for cell references (=b10, =b20).

Stop right there. At this juncture, what is in A2? Edit : Also I'm assuming b10 is a character string which shows up as 'b10 in the Formula Bar. Final Edit : Just reread your first post and noticed the "=b10". I incorrectly assumed a character string "b10" and not a cell reference. I agree...

stu's method works. What you have done is clicked on the bottom right corner of A1 (solid cross cursor) in order to drag it to "grey" A1:A2. I bet the value in A2 has changed from b20 to b11 even before the second drag. Hence your b12 in A3. What you need to do is to left click on the middle...

I don't know of any existing third party software but many here have written their own code just for that purpose. After downloading gxyymmdd.zip, I run a batch file which extracts gxyymmdd.iom and then arranges it in the tick data format of my choice. This process takes about 5 seconds and...

On the contrary, with the recently revamped CME site, the dialog box pops up even quicker now (about a second) as opposed to about 10 seconds previously, so the behavior you describe is indeed strange. A remedy I have used successfully to iron out inexplicable quirks is deleting temporary...

icarus, you should know what happens to people who fly too high. Don't mock the 1 and 2 point-average performers, and don't confuse mean with variance. Without trying to detract from today's fine trading performance put on by AMT, I can certainly identify with the style and being the modest...

I don't see it in the CME tick data.

Proud to see all you buggers trading those weird hours down under. Ex-Melbourne boy myself. Car'n the Blues!

X_TRADER only shows 5 levels. I believe it's a CME thing.

AAA, I have had my fair share of adventures worldwide, but this was not one of them. I take this opportunity to belatedly clear myself from another of your suspicions - I am not Swing Zones. :cool:

As already discussed in 2 other threads, you should be using NQT3'CM. When to change : 8 days before the 3rd Friday of the month. What to change to : http://www.nextrend.com/sysnews/v5-0/FuturesSymbols.asp (use Globex) deadreader, you're a very naughty boy. You're welcome :D

Bob, I have absolutely no prior experience or theoretical knowledge of composite strategy trading system design. I also have no problem with making a fool of myself in public, so here's my 2 cents. The closest parallel I can relate to is testing a blackjack strategy. The house rules allow...

A proctologist claims that these are actual comments made by his patients made while he was performing colonoscopies: 1. "Take it easy, Doc, you're boldly going where no man has gone before." 2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?" 3. "Can you hear me NOW?" 4. "Oh boy, that was...
