    Strange ticks at IB explained as intermarket sweeps

    This is a general statement, may not apply to this particular case. Some trades, based on exchange/sip provided sale conditions, are not eligible to set last price so they should/may not be used to trigger stops. However, each vendor decides if the trade is "chartable" or not. That's the...

    Anyone using indicators successfully for day trading?

    I don't mean outright dumbass spoofing. I think there are smart ways to show/execute orders in a way to signal certain intent. The tough part is to figure out if that is the true intent or a misleading one. In your example, the refreshing iceberg order is by now easily identifiable by algos...

    Looking for intraday list of rallying stocks (realtime or neartime)

    K, thanks. I think it used to work for me some time back as well. I love TOS but they treat it as what it is - a retail platfom. They upgrade often and it's mandatory, so things stop working. I think maybe they try to reduce the amount of data being pumped through, so if you have heavy scan...

    Looking for intraday list of rallying stocks (realtime or neartime)

    Hey, I know I can program a custom field in a watch list. But I don't know how to program a self-updating watch list. For example, which window can display new daily highs every 1 minute? I can create and re-run scans manually and put result into a watch list, but I'm not aware of ability to...

    Using ATR for NQ Stops and Targets

    I guess that means they have pretty high win rate.

    Using ATR for NQ Stops and Targets

    Profit taking exits is not the problem, it's how they relate to your stops, right? You need pretty high accuracy to make 2:1 work. That is why many systems (imho) have stops many multiples of the profit target, which is what @fan27 most likely suggesting(I assume). It works, but the draw downs...

    Technology Developer Available!

    Don't we all!? I got no strategies to offer, so you can ignore my question. What "something big" do you have in mind? To me, big is generic and custom is small.

    Using ATR for NQ Stops and Targets

    You are referring to automated day trading and using intra-day ATR?
  10. Q

    Using ATR for NQ Stops and Targets

    I don't think intra-day ATR is appropriate for day trading. If you use daily ATR for stops, that's too wide. If you are trading manually, you shouldn't need to use such approximations, imho.

    Reasonable revenue split as trader

    @AlphaMale, if you don't mind sharing, are you concerned at all about protecting your IP? Is there a clause for that? If there is, is it realistically enforceable? Also curious if the strategy requires lots of capital to be worth running, cause if it's not why not run it yourself and build it up?

    I am a new trader with under $25,000 looking to day trade, what should I do to start?

    How about buying deeps for the last 10 years? Trading such volatile instrument with small account and no regulations is suicide. By mispricing you must mean serious manipulations. If I can't contain the risk, I'm not interested in reward as it will lead you on the wrong path. I thought we were...

    How to make fear a positive driving force

    Interesting. Not sure this applies to trading where there's a danger in pushing/needing it. It's like you need enough motivation to not give up, yet not so much you blow up trying too hard. Thoughts?

    Anyone use market internals (NYSE TICK, TRIN, etc.) for day trading?

    Not that you need an indicator to see it, but nice confirmation.

    Anyone use market internals (NYSE TICK, TRIN, etc.) for day trading?

    Yep, that. I see a flush and I just want to see how extreme the TICK reads. Extreme is -1000 and beyond. I'm curious what people think about TRIN. It never made any sense to me to categorize green/up volume as bullish without any context.

    Anyone using indicators successfully for day trading?

    Unless they are designed to do mis-information leakage :)

    I am a new trader with under $25,000 looking to day trade, what should I do to start?

    Compared to US Forex and Cryptos. I am not familiar with non-us so can't comment. Unloading big position in a thin market, and you want someone to just take the other side no questions asked? :) So you are the one playing the hide and seek games then. I'm not knocking you, but it's not fair...

    I am a new trader with under $25,000 looking to day trade, what should I do to start?

    I wander what your reasoning is? Unscalable/Unsustainable, maybe? Can't argue it doesn't work. Ok, so it's fragmented. How is it a problem for your average daytrader? You have provided lots of insightful info regarding infrastructure, but I don't see how it's relevant to a guy trading 25k to...

    Anyone use market internals (NYSE TICK, TRIN, etc.) for day trading?

    I use Advancers/Decliners and TICKs at extremes. What's the question?
