I really liked Carters book when it came out, and ended up signing up for one of his classes at the Las Vegas expo two years ago. The class was a joke; poorly prepared, sloppy presentation and JC didn't even show up until 2 hours into the session (Hubert started). Carter came across as *only*...

The summary stats you give on the system look acceptable, but you need to know how the max drawdown is calculated to see if it's something that's tradable. E.g. if the simulation assumes 100k account and trades 100 SPY, then and 8% DD is huge. If the position sizing assumes full utilization...

In my experience Baron and the moderators are trying hard to keep a professional and clean site. I moderate as a favor to Baron and don't have time to read all posts in my forums. I therefore miss a few things from time to time. That said, I also really don't feel like spending hours each...

you can also turn your charts/monitor up-side-down. Works just as well !

How about "printing" the statement to PDF? that seems the simplest.

in my experience you can use 1 tick per side as slip and be very close.

I realize it's not quite the same, but why don't you use a GoodAfterTime order, and activate it at the open?

I certainly trade ES without stops. Stops are often the lazy persons substitute for proper exits. Having an exit strategy is what matters, not the use of stops.

I reported this to IB in December. After many back and forth with support, i was told it had been forwarded to the development group. I'm not sure the support person every really understood the issue.

I suggest you do what I've done for years: Exploit the fact that you can start trading at 6:30 AM and go to work much later. When you consistently can make money the first 2 hours of the day, you can consider leaving your employment. One bit of career advice: You should carefully consider...

I suggest giving TWS 512M of RAM, not 256.

I actually had the identical problems last night, but everything is back to normal this morning (including using IE to access ET)

those stats actually look pretty good. I would examine the profit target, as the run-up shows it to be "too far away". Depending on whether you enter/exit on limits/stops/market you have to give YM at least 5 ticks slip and for limits make sure you trade through your limit in simulation.

pnorilsk, I'm not sure what you're asking for. CEP is a well known technique in asynchronous systems, and there's a whole industry built around providing CEP to wallstreet. What exactly is it you propose to provide in return for the 10+ year specialist in programming and trading helping...

Pinnacle can export to either metastock or CSV. CSV is supported in a variety of formats (which fields, format of date etc). I use the CSV format and then import into my trading application. Pinnacle also automatically builds continuous contracts using several different algorithms. The...

I've used PinnacleData since ~ 1996 very good data, imo. http://www.pinnacledata.com/

I use IB. My EVO is with Verizon. Adding an antenna to the expressCard modem gave a big improvement in speed and latency. My experience is that the 1mb service is a bit more sensitive to poor signal and doesn't degrade gracefully. I primarily use it in San Jose.

I have a revA (1mb/sec) card. Works fine and i use it for several trading days each week.

Moderator note: I removed the other thread as it immediately degenerated into name calling and insults. I consider *any* strategy fair game for this "Strategy Trading" forum. But i do not want to spend my time editing out insults.

they were running SP1, which has a number of security issues. SP2 and zone alarm would be two good ways to lock things down tighter. You should also disable your wifi unless you're using it. Most new laptops has a switch to do so on the front.
